COMMENT from Anne Tisbert owner/Valley Dream Farm   on May 18, 2008     We wish you had come to us, instead of leaving inaccurate notices in our neighbor’s mailboxes, about our irrigation project. You should know: 1. We are concerned about our environment. 2. We are CERTIFIED ORGANIC ( takes time, expense and energy to not use chemicals), that contaminate the soil and water. 3. We have successfully completed many water protection projects with the NRCS (natural resource conservation service). 4. This irrigation project is being conducted with the supervision of NRCS. 5. We are working with NRCS to update our multi-spring fed pond which has been in existence for over 25 years. 6. This pond water is not in danger of being depleted. 7. This project will protect the Seymour River and the valley habitat. 8. As we irrigate the fields, unused water, returns to the water table. 9. Please call on us or NRCS Morrisville, VT with concerns. 10. Please stop spreading untruthful rumors about anyone, including VALLEY DREAM FARM llc. Post (and email) a response

COMMENT from concerned vermonter   on May 16, 2008    It has come to our attention through a contact in Vermont ANR that there have been a number of inquiries about the irrigation system that is being installed at Valley Dream Farm in Pleasant Valley in Cambridge. We conservatively estimate that the water table will be depleted over 100 million gallons of water during each season, in other words equivalent to the water use of a housing development of over 3500 homes each year .There have been no engineering reports on the consequences of withdrawing this amount of water from the groundwater--what the consequences will be for the downstream agricultural neighbors, for the water for the homes in the valley, for the Seymour River, or for the quality of the Lamoille River downstream of this development.
