A cooperation agreement on environmental matters regarding the management of Lake Champlain between New York, Vermont and Québec (the Agreement - French version
here), signed in March 2010, was confirmed by governmental decree 918-2010 on 3 November 2010.
The Agreement is the latest in a series of agreements between the parties that date back to 1988. In 1990, the American Congress passed the
Lake Champlain Special Designation Act (Public Law 101-596) leading to the creation of the
Lake Champlain Basin Program, which is now implemented through the
Opportunities for Action: An Evolving Plan for the Future of the Lake Champlain Basin (the
French version of the
Plan, dated 2003, provides details about related institutional and legal frameworks).
The Agreement confirms the role of the Lake Champlain Steering Committee in the cooperative management of the basin. The Steering Committee is notably mandated to implement the
Plan and foster interactions between regulation and management programmes related to the monitoring of Lake Champlain (see section 2.6). The Agreement and the Plan recognise the ecosystem approach to basin management.
