Résumé

This chapter of the Vermont Statutes concerns lake shoreland protection standards. Its purpose is to (1) provide clear and adaptable standards for the creation of impervious surface or cleared area in lands adjacent to lakes; (2) prevent degradation of water quality in lakes and preserve natural stability of shoreline; (3) protect aquatic biota and protect habitat for wildlife and aquatic life; (4) mitigate, minimize, and manage any impact of new impervious surface and new cleared area on the lakes of the State; (5) mitigate the damage that floods and erosion cause to development, structures, and other resources in the lands adjacent to lakes; (6) accommodate creation of cleared areas and impervious surfaces in protected shoreland areas in a manner that allows for reasonable development of existing parcels; (7) protect shoreland owners' access to, views of, and use of the State's lakes; and (8) preserve and further the economic benefits and values of lakes and their adjacent shorelands.
