We like to think Vermont is "green" but when you look beyond the postcard
image, how is Vermont’s environment really doing? The Agency of
Natural Resources is resuming a tradition of an annual report on the
state’s leading environmental indicators.
A dozen
environmental groups want the Environmental Protection Agency to force Vermont to do a better job controlling water
pollution.
One
organization wants to go even further.
An employee of the
Agency of Natural Resources says the department dragged its feet in enforcing
the law and cracking down on a company for allegedly allowing toxic chemicals to migrate from its plant
site to groundwater and neighbors’ wells.
