Protecting Burlington's Wetlands

The Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission is charged to preserve wetlands and watercourses and to regulate activities in and around them.  It is mandated to assure adequate, non-polluted water supplies and to prevent damage to streams and their adjoining wetlands and natural ecosystems.

The IWWC also serves at the Aquifer Protection Agency, which is responsible for administering all provisions of the Act concerning Aquifer Protection Areas by regulating land use activity within the Aquifer protection area including:

• Prohibiting certain new activities
• Registering existing regulated activities
• Issuing permits for new or expanded regulated activities at registered facilities

This is done principally through the administration of the Aquifer Protection Regulations in accordance with State law.
