James Ehlers can’t help but say something any time he passes the Winooski River’s Salmon Hole and sees kids splashing around or anglers eyeing fish.
“Do you know what’s in that river?” Ehlers, a steadfast water activist who founded the nonprofit Lake Champlain International, sometimes yells to those he sees at the spot in downtown Winooski.
“Beyond their value for wild trout and salmon, each of these parcels expands public access and offers opportunities for management to enhance flood resilience,” said Patrick Hurley of the Memphremagog Watershed Association. “The parcels include acres of floodplain habitat, intact wetlands, and potential to restore areas eroded by this past year’s extreme flood.”
Experts are asking Vermonters to check their septic systems, even if they think they’re working, because flooding may have caused some damage. Septic issues can cause drinking water contamination and over-flooded systems can cause untreated wastewater to back up into the house. Anyone having septic issues can call 211 and report damages and take photos of the issues to connect with FEMA. Also, the Department of Health can provide a free drinking water test kit to ensure your water isn’t contaminated from your septic system.
