Montpelier, Vermont - November 24, 2009
Vermont is picking up the pace of storm water regulation.
Last week the state began requiring property owners to get permits if they live in watersheds that don't meet water-quality standards. A permit could require property owners to make improvements, like installing grassy areas to absorb runoff from paved area, or building a holding pond for storm water.
The efforts are meant to curb pollution from runoff which can contain oil and other toxic substances.
