Enhancing our River Environment - A Proposed Plan for the Management of the Winooski Riverbank Vegetation in Montpelier - 4,267 KB,
This report was produced by the Montpelier River Corridor Restoration Committee in July 2002. The plan grew out of recognition that the Winooski River and its tributaries require a long-range vision and consistent attention. Implementation of these recommendations should help to reduce riverbank erosion, mitigate threats of flooding, and fulfill the river's potential as an outstanding natural resource.

Although the city government, state government, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have constructed flood mitigation devices, enacted various forms of legislation, and initiated numerous activities adn programs designed to mitigate flooding and flood damage to the city, the threat of flooding and flood damage remains significant.
