| The State of Vermont
does not have regulations that set community
noise exposure criteria. The Vermont Act 250 regulation requires new construction projects that meet applicable thresholds to undergo a rigorous review process. The Act 250 land use and development control law is administered by the Environmental Board through nine district commissions. The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources is a statutory party to all Act 250 permit requests. The Act 250 regulations can require project noise impact assessments if noise is perceived as a potential problem. The Act 250 regulations do not contain formal impact assessment procedures or criteria levels. |

| The State laws allow individual communities to establish noise regulations through community by-laws. Many local communities have some form of community noise ordinance. Inquire at the local town hall, the clerk or manager's office, to see if local noise regulations exist. | |
