## Resource

Lake Memphremagog is facing a silent but deadly threat: PFAS contamination from airborne pollutants and leachate runoff, disproportionately affecting the watershed despite local communities contributing only 4% of landfill waste. The real culprits? Waste generated elsewhere in Vermont and beyond, dumped into the Coventry landfill where outdated treatment methods simply recycle toxins back into the system—contrary to EPA and manufacturer guidelines. With long-term environmental and justice implications, advocates are rallying behind legislation like H.652 to enforce stricter leachate controls and protect not just this lake, but Lake Champlain and surrounding communities.
