Basin Planning for the Upper Connecticut River Direct Drainages

Nulhegan River

Nulhegan River

 

Basin 16 is one of four basins that are atypical basins or planning units in Vermont.  Thirteen of the seventeen basins are comprised of one or more major watersheds in the state.  Basin 13 and Basin 16 consist of Connecticut River mainstem segments and mostly relatively small drainages that go directly to the Connecticut River.  Basins 4 and 5 are mainly small drainages going directly to Lake Champlain. 

Basin 16 consists of the northern Connecticut River and direct drainages to it from the Canadian border down to White River Junction.  It includes the Nulhegan River watershed and the Paul Stream watershed among others.  It does not include the Passumpsic River watershed (Basin 15) nor the Stevens, Wells, and Waits Rivers watersheds (these are part of Basin 14).

 

The watershed planning process in the upper Connecticut River Watershed has not been initiated but questions about waters in this basin can be directed to Ben Copans at ben.copans@state.vt.us or 751-2610.
