Why this petition matters

Started by James Murray

Dear Governor Scott,

I'm signing this petition because I'm very concerned about the future of Lake Memphremagog. 

Not all pollutants including PFAS (also known as "Forever Chemicals") are removed from treated leachate effluent (garbage juice) that derives from garbage deposited at landfills.  When treated leachate is discharged into bodies of water, it presents danger to human and animal health, and drinking water. The government of Vermont must ensure that leachate or leachate effluent is never discharged into northerly flowing Lake Memphremagog, or its tributaries. 

For more information about the ongoing concern for International Lake Memphremagog (US and Canada, its watershed and the treated leachate), visit the following web sites:

Thank you for your commitment to protect Lake Memphremagog for the well-being of all life and the drinking water for 175,000 Canadian neighbors, now and for the future.

Sincerely,
