Mill deal sees natural gas line under Lake Champlain:
Lake Champlain would get its first-ever underwater natural gas line under a $70 million project by a Vermont utility to connect below lake bottom to a paper mill in Ticonderoga on the lake's western shore. The company, Vermont Gas, reached an agreement last month with International Paper for the new line, which is proposed to cross under the lake bottom from Addison County to Ticonderoga, where the lake ranges in width from about 2,000 feet to more than a mile.
