Working along the shoreland in Vermont presents with a unique set of factors to take into account that one should be aware of while developing. The Vermont Legislature passed the Shoreland Protection Act in July of 2014, which regulates activities within 250 feet of the mean water level of lake great than 10 acres in size. The intent of the Shoreland Protection Act is to allow reasonable development along the shorelands of lakes and ponds, while protecting aquatic habitat, water quality, and maintaining the natural stability of shorelines.
