Complaint Investigation
| The APCD receives numerous complaints each
year, most of which concern nuisances caused by people open burning trash,
or smoke and odors from industries and businesses. In response to these
complaints, APCD or other Vermont Agency of Natural Resources personnel
may investigate the complaint or, when appropriate, may refer the complaint
to town or city officials. The APCD must verify the source and severity
of the problem prior to taking enforcement actions. The APCD often seeks
voluntary resolution of violations, but serious violations typically result
in penalties and/or a requirement to take corrective actions.
Complaints involving individuals and small
businesses are often most efficiently handled by local officials such
as Health Officers, Fire Wardens, Fire Chiefs, local police, Selectboard
members, or by the local solid waste management district. Contact one
or more of your local officials to determine if they are able to handle
your complaint.
