BRIDPORT,
The Lake Champlain Restoration Association is planning to haul tons of the unwanted lake vegetation inland to a farm that uses methane from manure to make electricity.
The group uses a harvester to clear the weeds and give boaters access to deeper water.
Last week the Central Vermont Public Service Corp. awarded $10,000 to the association to haul greens generator at the Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport and monitor its viability as a power source.
Experts will study if the costs of transportation and other factors are met by the amount of power generated by burning the vegetation.
