Railroad Berm and Vt 105 Breached, Massive blowout into Spectacle Pond

Railroad Berm and Vt 105 Breached, Beaver Dam collapses into the Culvert causing a massive blowout into Spectacle Pond in Island Pond, Vt Impacted by the second major storm in the last two weeks, northern Vermont is finding out it’s stormwater issues in a really big way. This outflow of Beecher Pond, leads into Spectacle, Island Pond, The Clyde River and finally into Lake Memphremagog. The environmental impacts and potential for sewage in the lakes and rivers is now at high likelihood. In the aftermath of these two storms I truly hope lessons can be learned in how to mitigate these events through appropriate culvert sizes, maintenance of those culverts, increases in riparian zones and wetland corridors to slow the outflows and absorb some of the runoff in wetlands. All kinds of necessary impacts happen in the rebuild from major storm events so lessening the foreseeable impacts is vital to out community health and the bottom line of our community service structures. #flyfishing #vermont #trout #newengland #fishing #troutfishing Storms are truly terrible impacts on our communities and hearts go out to all those affected by these events, Please reach out if there is anything we can do to help.
