Please support  Bill H.652 (https://legislature.vermont.gov/Documents/2026/Docs/BILLS/H-0652/H-0652%20As%20Introduced.pdf). The purpose of this bill is to prohibit landfill leachate, treated or not, from being discharged anywhere in the Lake Memphremagog watershed.    Vermont should be a leading state on protecting our environment especially our precious bodies of water. Lake Memphremagog, the largest body of water in northeastern Vermont needs protecting- as does the entire Vermont watershed. Protecting the lake from further chemical contamination, including PFAS, is essential for the environment, people, and economies of the surrounding communities. (Not to mention the Lake is a drinking water reservoir for 175,000 Quebec neighbors.) Please, let’s make it happen!
