UVM Hort Farm Pond

Problem

Bartlett Brook is one of five stormwater impaired waterbodies in South Burlington. The City is in the process of designing and constructing projects with the potential to reduce flows in Bartlett Brook, restore the Brook to health, and satisfy requirements in the City’s MS4 permit. One of the projects identified in the Bartlett Brook Flow Restoration Plan (FRP) included constructing stormwater detention in the upper field of the Horticulture Farm at UVM.
