Case Study pdf (193 KB)	Evaluating the Impacts of Subsurface Agricultural Tile Drainage Systems to Water Quality in Vermont In Vermont and across the Lake Champlain Basin, little is known about the extent of tile drainage systems, and the potential impacts of tile drainage systems on water quality have not been assessed with adequate rigor. To address certain knowledge gaps in our understanding of the impacts of tile drainage systems on water quality in Vermont, the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) engaged Stone to perform an intensive study in the Jewett Brook watershed (JBW) in St. Albans, Vermont. The main components of this ongoing study are a literature review (completed), an automated water quality and flow monitoring program of 12 selected tile drainage systems, and analyses to quantify: 1) the degree of association between the water quality data and agronomic variables, and 2) the proportion of all phosphorus exported from the watershed that is contributed by tile drains.
Case Study pdf (236 KB)	Cabot School Stormwater Planning and Implementation The goal of this project was to complete a stormwater master plan for the Cabot School campus and its associated drainage area, including upland “run on” water. The result was 100% designs for and implementation of three treatment areas on school property, along with a list of other runoff control projects that can be pursued in the future.
News	City Market Receives Vermont Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence for its Brownfield Redevelopment Project We were honored to join City Market last week as they received the prestigious Vermont Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence for their South End Expansion Project in Burlington, Vermont. The award, announced annually since 1993, recognizes the efforts and actions of Vermont individuals, businesses and organizations to conserve and protect natural resources, prevent pollution, and promote environmental sustainability. We are proud to be part of this project and look forward to joining City Market with its grand opening later this year.

While stepping down from their current executive positions, Founder and President, Christopher Stone and Vice President, David Healy, will remain at Stone as senior executive and technical consultants, as well as continue to serve on the Board of Directors. All of these changes will become effective July 1, 2017.
Case Study pdf (217 KB)	Flow Restoration Planning for the Englesby Brook Watershed, Burlington, Vermont Working with the City of Burlington, Stone and an engineering partner team developed a flow restoration plan for Englesby Brook. The plan laid out a long-term stormwater retrofit plan to reduce high stormwater flows and improve overall water quality in this urban stream. We took a stepwise approach to identifying potential BMP sites or upgrades with the fewest overall technical, regulatory, and operational constraints, in order to arrive at a practical and cost-effective suite of practices that may achieve the flow restoration targets.
