About Toxics Action Center
Toxics Action Center organizes with residents working to prevent or clean up pollution in their communities.
Since 1987, Toxics Action Center has helped more than 650 communities clean up hazardous waste sites,
decrease industrial pollution, curb pesticide spraying, and oppose the siting of dangerous waste, energy and
industrial facilities. When the government won’t take action and the company denies that there is a problem,
Toxics Action Center is a resource for residents concerned with pollution in their neighborhood. We provide
residents with information about environmental laws, strategies for organizing, a network of activists around
the region, and access to legal and technical experts. Toxics Action Center is funded by donations from
3. 3
concerned citizens and grants from private foundations. This financial support enables us to provide our
services free of charge to communities facing pollution threats.

Introduction to Toxics in Vermont
Vermont is a one of the smallest states in the country, measured by either geography or population. Both
Vermont’s Western and Eastern borders are defined by waterways. Lake Champlain, one of the largest inland
lakes in the nation, creates Vermont’s Western border. The Connecticut River creates the state’s Eastern
border with New Hampshire. Vermont’s most defining feature, however, are the Green Mountains for which
it’s named, which create a spine down the center of the state.
Through the 1880’s much of Vermont’s forest land was cleared for sheep farms. But today, three-quarters of
the state is forested and cows have replaced sheep. Vermont’s cows produce nearly half of the milk drunk in
New England1
. Maple sugaring is another well known and significant agricultural industry in Vermont. In fact
Vermont produces the most maple syrup of any state. Vermont’s bucolic landscape, quaint town centers, and
famed ski slopes attract millions of tourists to the state every year.
Vermont’s beautiful landscape makes it easy to forget that the same kinds and classes of chemicals we learned
about from Rachel Carson, Love Canal, Woburn, and Cancer Alley are still in use today and threaten the safety
of the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land we live on. Vermont is dotted with toxic sources and
sites:
272 industries release pollutants into the air under state permits
477 hazardous waste generators produce approximately 2.5 million pounds of hazardous waste each
year
13 plants generate power from fossil fuels, wood waste, or nuclear power
1421 hazardous waste sites dot the state. Of these 102, or 1 in every 2-3 Vermont towns, is on the
high priority list
11 toxic sites make the National Priority List, or Superfund.
33 facilities discharge water under state permits into rivers and lakes.
88 active and inactive landfills are currently tracked by the state. Appendix B shows the hundreds of
old, unlined landfills closed before 1988 when the current solid waste management law went into
effect.
Approximately 3500 underground storage tanks hold gasoline, oil, and other fuels.
215 illegally operating salvage yards threaten the environment and draw down property values.
Thirty years ago when people thought of protecting the environment they thought of picking up litter and
about protecting our wilderness and wildlife. Yet in the late 1970s, toxic contamination at Love Canal near
Niagara Falls, New York, a nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, and a leukemia cluster in
Woburn, Massachusetts, made national news. Unfortunately, these tragedies were not isolated incidents, and
Vermont has its own toxic legacy that will take decades to fully clean up.
Despite significant threats to public health and the environment, we have an opportunity to protect and
improve the quality of life in Vermont. The good news is that resources exist that could be allocated to
protect public health. Additionally, local decision-making power in towns and cities allows communities to
take action when state bureaucracy is unresponsive or lacks sufficient resources to enforce the law.
7. 7
Across the state local community groups are forming to push for the clean up of these polluting sites. In
Milton, Williamstown, Sharon, Strafford, and Georgia citizens’ groups are working with the town officials to
force cleanups of salvage yards that spill junked cars into streams and pile tires high. In Cabot, Whey to Go is
pushing AgriMark (the owners of Cabot Creamery) to live up to its green name and stop the practice of
spraying industrial wastewater on agricultural fields. In Rupert, parents are working with local farmers to
protect elementary school children from toxic pesticide exposure. In Williston, Lead Free Williston is
demanding better of their neighbor, a shooting range. The range is now beginning to take responsibility for
the decades of lead shot on their land.
This report identifies the toxic sites in Vermont that threaten our environment and our health and calls on our
state leaders to aggressively act to achieve a safe and toxics-free Vermont.

Recommendations
Retire Vermont Yankee and Replace it with Energy Efficiency and Renewables Development
Vermont boasts one of the oldest nuclear plants and the largest, per capita, store of nuclear waste in the nation. As
Vermont Yankee has aged, it has experienced numerous leaks, collapses, cracks, and other failures that threaten the
safety of the groundwater and the nearby Connecticut River and the health of surrounding communities. Vermont’s
wind, solar, micro-hydro, and cow power, combined with continued efficiency measures, could easily replace the power
the state currently draws from Vermont Yankee2
. In order to protect Vermonters, Vermont Yankee should close down
on time in 2012, as recommended by the 2010 Vermont Senate vote. Meanwhile, Vermont should increase its
investment in renewable energy development and in energy efficiency to meet Vermont’s energy needs without
threatening the health of Vermonters or the environment.
Vermont boasts an internationally renowned energy efficiency program. Vermont needs to continue to build from
success and grow its investment in Efficiency Vermont. Current investment is slowly but steadily decreasing the state’s
electricity demands each year3
. Increased investment in the program is needed to maximize energy efficiency efforts
and save Vermonters more on their electric bills. For the remainder of the state’s electricity needs, Vermont should rely
on renewable energy sources. Vermont’s potential for wind, solar, micro-hydro, and cow power far surpass the state’s
current needs. Vermont should create a statewide plan to develop the needed renewable energy to meet the state’s
need. Using only a small portion of its renewable energy potential, Vermont could produce 100% of its energy from
renewable sources within 20 years4
.
Reduce Industrial Toxic Chemical Use
The “lifecycle” of industrial chemical use poses threats to residents, workers, and consumers. The risks stem from
potential accidents, spills, emissions, worker handling, waste disposal, toxins in products, and product disposal.
In 1991, the Vermont Legislature passed Act 100 (The State Pollution Prevention Planning Law; 10V.S.A. §§6624-6632) to
help eliminate or reduce toxic chemical use at the source, to reduce toxics entering the environment, and to document
these reductions for government and the public. Under Act 100, companies that use or generate large amounts of toxic
chemicals must submit technologically and economically feasible toxic reduction plans to the Department of
Environmental Conservation every 3 years and performance reports every year. The performance report and, for must
businesses, a plan summary then become public documents. Additionally, companies must pay an annual fee for each
toxic substance used or generated, up to a maximum amount. Despite these requirements, Act 100 ultimately gives
these companies complete discretion to reduce toxics generation and use or not.
To meet its own toxics elimination goals, we suggest Act 100 be amended to:
Include a complete ban on the use of toxic substances for which there are safer alternatives
Remove fee caps for toxics users and generators, such as the $1500 limit for large users of toxics
Incentivize companies to reduce the amount of each toxin used or generated (not just the number of toxics), by
requiring companies to pay a fee per pound of toxic chemical used or generated
Give both government and the public decision-making power to change the practices of companies unwilling to
voluntarily comply with toxics reduction.
Assure Appropriate Cleanup of Hazardous Waste Sites
Hazardous waste sites can pose a health threat due to direct exposure or contamination of water or soil. According to
the Agency of Natural Resources, there are approximately 1421 active hazardous waste sites in this state, up from
approximately 1360 in 2003.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Vermont have regulations regarding the
identification, listing, storage, and cleanup of hazardous waste sites. The State must establish timelines to ensure that
10. 10
these sites are cleaned up in a timely manner. However, the timelines established and the scope of the clean up
performed do not adequately protect human health or the environment. For example, at one such high priority site,
Parkway Cleaners in Hartford, neighbors still await a cleanup despite the Agency of Natural Resources identifying levels
of dry cleaning solvent many times the legal limit eight years ago. According to ANR, only thirteen of the state’s
hazardous sites have received certificates of closure. In order to protect human health, the environment, and property
values, the Agency of Natural Resources should establish timelines for the remaining cleanups and adhere to them.
Similarly, the Attorney General should aggressively pursue legal action against polluters to hold them responsible for
their messes.
Additionally, a public participation process is virtually absent from hazardous site clean ups. To ensure neighbors have a
say in the scope and timeline of a hazardous site cleanup and review the cleanup process, a formal public participation
program should be established.
Rewrite the Solid Waste Plan in order to Maximize Waste Reduction and Move Toward Zero Waste
Vermonters throw away approximately one ton of trash per person each year. Of that, only about 30% is recycled. With
70% of its discarded materials wasted to landfills and incinerators, Vermont falls far behind cities and provinces such as
San Francisco, Nova Scotia, and Nantucket which have achieved recycling rates of 70 to even 90% using the zero waste
model.
Vermont’s abysmal recycling rate not only wastes energy and natural resources but threatens human health and the
environment. According to the EPA, all landfills eventually leak and the toxins they leak can contaminate drinking water
supplies. Incinerators release dioxins, heavy metals, particulates, and other toxins into the air. These air pollutants have
been linked to birth defects, asthma, respiratory disease, and cancer. Vermont needs to continue to take steps away
from burning and burying its trash, which pollutes air and water and threatens public health. Implementing the zero
waste model in Vermont would both avoid the long term environmental and public health threat that burning and
burying waste poses and create jobs in the reuse, repair, composting, and recycling sectors.
Zero waste includes 'recycling' but goes beyond it by taking a 'whole system' approach to the vast flow of resources and
waste through society. Zero waste maximizes recycling, minimizes waste, reduces consumption and ideally ensures that
products are made to be reused, repaired or recycled back into nature or the marketplace. Economic incentives should
promote closed-loops, bringing consumers’ discards back to manufacturers and contractors to reprocess and reuse. .
Vermont should adopt a zero waste goal and re-write the state solid waste plan to reflect that goal. Specific policies
include updating the Bottle Bill to include water bottles and designer sports drinks, mandating Pay As You Throw
programs statewide to incentivize recycling, implementing commercial and residential composting programs, building
waste reduction infrastructure such as a sorting and processing center for construction waste, and passing extended
producer responsibility policies for toxic or hard-to-recycle materials.
Reduce Pesticide Exposures and Phase Out Pesticide Use
Pesticides are chemicals deliberately added to our environment to kill living things and are, therefore, toxic by design.
Pesticides have been linked to a growing list of public health problems, including cancer, reproductive harm, and genetic
damage. According to the Vermont Department of Agriculture, commercial applicators applied an estimated 225,442
pounds of pesticides in 2008. This number quantifies only active ingredients within pesticides, and does take into
account pesticides purchased and used by homeowners. This figure represents a decrease of approximately 217,023
pounds since 2007 and 992,916 pounds since 2001. However, these decreases don’t tell the whole story, but mostly
reflect the fluctuations of one company. OMYA’s mine in Florence, VT used 81,488 pounds of pesticides in 2008, down
from 298,533 in 2007. Additionally, OMYA’s switch from a pesticide with 100% active ingredients to 20% active
ingredients in 2005 explains the significant drop since 2001. When removing OMYA from the equation, overall pesticide
use actually went up, from 143,932 pounds in 2007 to 144,953 pounds in 2008, and pesticide use on corn alone
increased from 84,693 pounds in 2007 to 85,402 pounds in 2008.
11. 11
Pesticides are currently only regulated in Vermont through a patchwork of use-specific regulations, which fail to address
questions about cumulative exposures arising from repeated pesticide use in different settings as well as concerns about
exposure to pesticides during critical periods of childhood development. The state should enact legislation, requiring:
Notification of use & use reporting
Support for helping farmers convert to pesticide alternatives
Schools, daycares, hospitals, and the State of Vermont stop using pesticides in their buildings and on their
property
Pesticide-free buffer zones around surface water, schools, daycares, and hospitals
Ban the persistent and most toxic pesticides from use in Vermont
Improve Water Quality
Clean, fresh water is a critical resource for Vermont. Vermont’s 7100 miles of rivers and streams, over 800 lakes and
ponds, and 300,000 acres of wetlands provide drinking water for millions of people and serve as an economic resource
for residents and tourists5
. The state’s 2008 Water Quality Assessment indicates that Vermont’s waters continue to be
threatened: 11% of rivers and streams, 36% of Vermont’s inland lakes and ponds, and all of Lake Champlain are listed as
impaired and do not fully support designated uses. For example, fish from Lake Champlain cannot be safely eaten
because of dangerous levels of mercury and PCBs in their tissue.
The way that Vermonters live and work has profound impacts on the state’s water quality. Leaking septic systems,
fertilizer and manure run-off from farmland, and urban stormwater run-off containing automotive fluids, lawn
chemicals, pet waste, and sediment also threaten Vermont’s aquatic environment. Groundwater is threatened by over
1,400 hazardous waste sites, 33 water dischargers, active and closed landfills, underground storage tanks, polluting
junkyards, and pesticide application. The State of Vermont needs to take initiative to ensure that water sources meet
current water quality standards and proactively work to prevent future contamination of ground water. Polluters not
meeting water discharge regulations must be held accountable. Vermonters should be assured that they can safely
swim, fish, and drink the state’s water. In addition, the state should support the Clean Water Restoration Act at the
federal level to strengthen the Clean Water Act and ensure that water quality is protected. This bill would restore Clean
Water Act protections weakened over the last decade to protect all waterways.
Clean Up Polluting Salvage Yards
A recent statewide survey discovered over 200 illegally operating junkyards across Vermont, many along rivers and
streams. While legally operating salvage yards provide an essential service to communities – recycling metal, providing
used parts, and safely disposing of toxic materials from old cars – illegally operating yards are a threat to human health
and the environment. Lead from car batteries, antifreeze, Freon, and other toxins from rusting out vehicles can easily
contaminate soil and water.
The state of Vermont recently passed several laws strengthening the environmental regulation of salvage yards and
establishing a program at the Agency of Natural Resources to administer those new standards, including specific
setbacks from waterways, drinking water wells, and wetlands. The state as well as Vermont’s towns and cities need to
move quickly to implement and enforce the new regulations to avoid lengthy and expensive cleanups in the long run.
Specifically, towns should locate unregistered salvage yards within their borders and move through the process of
issuing or denying a certificate of location. Once a town has decided on the appropriateness of a location, the state
Salvage Yard Program should work with the salvage yard owner to ensure the facility is meeting all of Vermont’s relevant
environmental rules. Similarly, if the operation is larger than 1 acre, the Act 250 Regional Commission may need to
administer its permitting procedure.

Air Pollution Point Sources
Introduction
Air contaminants are regulated in Vermont by the Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) of the Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC). The APCD develops Vermont’s State Implementation Plan (SIP), which
details how the state will attain and maintain national Ambient Air Quality Standards established under the
Clean Air Act.6
These Ambient Air Quality Standards limit six common air pollutants, known as “criteria pollutants”. In
addition to these criteria pollutants, Vermont regulates hazardous air contaminants (HACs) and volatile
organic compounds (VOCs).
Regulations are instated according to two types of standards:
Primary standards are based on public health, including the health of sensitive populations such as
asthmatics, children, and the elderly
Secondary standards are limits based on public welfare, including protection of the environment and
property
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs):
Volatile organic compounds are carbon-based compounds that undergo chemical reactions when exposed to
sunlight in the atmosphere. VOCs are emitted from common household products and are therefore associated
with air pollution indoors. Thousands of VOC sources exist, but some of the most common emitters include
paints, cleaning supplies and disinfectants, office equipment such as copiers and printers, glues and adhesives,
and photographic solutions. The health effects of VOCs vary widely depending on the toxicity of particular
chemicals, as well as the length and level of exposure. Symptoms of exposure can include eye and respiratory
tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders, and memory impairment. Some VOCs can cause cancer.
EPA manages an Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), which citizens can use to better understand the
risks posed by specific VOCs.7
Carefully following instructions on product labels, buying products in limited quantities, and ensuring that old
or partially used chemicals are properly disposed of can help to reduce the health risks associated with VOCs.8
Hazardous Air Contaminants (HACs):
Hazardous Air Contaminants, also known as air toxics, include dust, fumes, mist, smoke, vapor, gas, odorous
substances, or any combination of the preceding that may be harmful to human, animal, or plant health, or to
property. The Clean Air Act lists 188 HACs, which usually come from industrial chemicals, solvents, metals,
pesticides, and combustion by-products. The Vermont APCD has outlined a “Top 10” list of these HACs, which
includes pollutants that exceed Vermont’s Hazardous Ambient Air Standard or pose a special concern to the
public.9
Acetaldehyde is a byproduct of combustion and industrial processes and is also found in cigarette
smoke. Exposure can cause eye, nose and throat irritation; cough; central nervous system depression;
and delayed pulmonary edema (NIOSH). Acetaldehyde has been classified by EPA as a Probable Human
Carcinogen.
Benzene is emitted primarily from motor vehicle exhaust and from combustion in industrial processes.
Exposure can depress the central nervous system and cause dizziness, drowsiness, rapid heart rate,
14. 14
headaches, tremors, confusion, and unconsciousness, but symptoms usually end shortly after exposure
ends. However, Benzene is still classified by EPA as a Known Human Carcinogen.
1,3-Butadiene is emitted from motor vehicles. Exposure can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat,
damage the central nervous system, and cause blurred vision, nausea, fatigue, headache, decreased
blood pressure and pulse, and unconsciousness. EPA classifies 1,3-Butadiene has been classified as a
Probable Human Carcinogen.
Carbon Tetrachloride is likely a transported pollutant that comes from products that have now been
taken off the market. Exposure may affect the liver, kidney and brain. Carbon tetrachloride has been
classified as a Probable Human Carcinogen by EPA.
Chloroform is probably a transported pollutant that comes from chlorine used in pulp and paper mills
and wastewater treatment plants. It may damage the liver and kidneys, and has been classified by EPA
as a Probable Human Carcinogen.
Formaldehyde is a byproduct of combustion and is produced by atmospheric reactions of other
pollutants. Exposure can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, and EPA classifies it as a Probable Human
Carcinogen.
Methylene Chloride is likely a transported pollutant released from chlorinated swimming pools and
wood burning processes. Exposure may affect heart rate and blood pressure as well as the liver,
kidney, nervous system, and reproductive system.
Tetrachlorethylene is emitted by waste incinerators, dry cleaning facilities, and by industries that use it
as a solvent. Exposure to elevated amounts causes adverse health effects, but no sufficient evidence
shows the same effects upon exposure to ambient levels.
Mercury is emitted into the atmosphere by sources like waste incinerators. Exposure has harmful
effects on the brain, nervous system, skin, kidneys, and liver.
Styrene is emitted from motor vehicles, auto body shops, and industries. Exposure may irritate the
mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and throat.
Criteria Pollutants:
Carbon Monoxide
Emissions are primarily associated with motor vehicles and other non-road equipment. The health effects of
carbon monoxide are most serious for those suffering from cardiovascular diseases; however, even healthy
individuals are susceptible, since high carbon monoxide concentrations affect the body’s ability to deliver
oxygen to the brain and organs. Consequently the central nervous system, including visual tracking, learning
ability, and dexterity can be affected. Carbon monoxide also exacerbates asthma, and, in very high
concentrations, it may cause death.10
Nitrogen Oxides, primarily Nitrogen Dioxide
Nitrogen oxides mainly come from motor vehicle exhaust and fossil fuel burning. Health effects due to low
concentrations include eye, nose, throat, and lung irritation, as well as shortness of breath and tiredness.
Inhaling air with high concentrations can cause damage of the respiratory tract, a buildup of fluid in the lungs,
reduced oxygenation of tissues, and possibly death. Nitrogen oxides can react with ammonia and other
substances in the air to form particulate matter, which can penetrate the lungs and bloodstream, leading to
effects outlined below. Nitrogen oxides impact the environment when they react in air to form nitric acid,
which is a major constituent of acid rain, and ozone, which contributes to smog buildup.11
Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur dioxide is mainly released into the air from fossil fuel burning. The health effects of exposure to high
levels include breathing difficulties and burning of the nose and throat. Asthmatics are often sensitive to low
15. 15
concentrations of sulfur dioxide. Like nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide also reacts in air to form particulate
matter.12
Lead
Lead is emitted into the air mainly by non-road equipment, industrial processes, and fossil fuel burning. The
health effects of inhaling lead are the same as those of ingesting lead. Lead acts via the nervous system, and
therefore affects nearly all of the body’s organs. The kidneys, brain, immune system, and cardiovascular
system are particularly susceptible. Lead decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of blood and can cause high
blood pressure and anemia. High levels of exposure can affect reproduction in men and women. Young
children are especially sensitive to low levels of lead, and may display behavioral problems, learning deficits,
and a lowered IQ due to exposure. Once deposited in the environment, lead accumulates in soils and
sediments. Ecosystems near lead point sources display a loss of biodiversity as well as neurological effects in
vertebrates.13
Ozone
The ozone that naturally forms 10 to 30 miles above the earth’s surface is good ozone that protects against
the sun’s harmful rays. However, ground level ozone, created by a reaction between nitrogen oxides and
volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight, contributes significantly to smog and is implicated in
health effects such as airway irritation, chest pain, coughing, and wheezing. Ozone aggravates asthma and
makes respiratory illnesses, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, more likely. With repeated exposure,
permanent scars to lung tissue may occur. The skin can also experience sunburn like inflammation. Ozone
pollution is worsened in the summer, since sunlight and hot weather cause more ground-level ozone to
form.14
Particulate Matter
Particulate matter refers to tiny particles and liquid droplets that form in the air from various components,
including nitrates, sulfates, and dust particles. Smaller particles pose greater risks to health, since these can
penetrate into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. Particulate matter can aggravate asthma, impair
lung function, and lead to the development of chronic bronchitis or emphysema, irregular heartbeat, and
nonfatal heart attacks. People with preexisting heart or lung disease are most susceptible, but even healthy
individuals can experience temporary symptoms with elevated exposure. In the environment, particulate
matter is implicated in haze, reducing visibility. Particles can be carried by wind to settle in faraway land or
water, making lakes and streams acidic and altering nutrient balances in soils and water. Property can also be
stained or damaged by particulate matter.15
Toxic Map: Air Pollution Point Sources
The accompanying map shows air polluting sites in Vermont. EPA tracks the air pollution trends for each of the
six “criteria pollutants” using two methods:
Air concentrations of the pollutants are measured at selected monitoring sites throughout the
country.
Emissions of the pollutants annually are estimated based on the engineering of their initial point
sources.
In addition, the Vermont APCD tracks air pollution, including VOCs and HACs, based emitting sources and air
concentrations. Tracking sites exist in Brattleboro, Rutland, Burlington, Underhill, and Lyndonville.16

Electricity Generation
Introduction
As of 2008 electricity generation in Vermont can be broken down as follows:17
• 71.8% Nuclear Power
• 21.9% Hydroelectric Power
• 6.2% Other Renewable Sources (wood, wood waste, and wind)
• 0.1% Petroleum and Natural Gas Fired
Though nuclear power accounts for most of Vermont’s energy generation, it accounts for a much smaller
fraction of Vermont’s energy consumption. Most of the nuclear power that Vermont generates is exported;
only about a third of it is used within the state.
Electricity consumption in Vermont is based largely imported power, with about a third coming from Hydro-
Quebec in Canada and most of the remaining third coming from other market purchases. Instate hydroelectric
plants, the McNeil Generating Station in Burlington, and instate thermal projects serve about 15% of
Vermont’s electricity demand. 18
Total energy consumption in Vermont is the lowest of any US State.
Nuclear Power
Today Vermont generates a higher proportion of its electricity from nuclear power than does any other
state.19
Vermont Yankee is the sole provider of this power.
Reliance on nuclear power poses potential hazards to public health and the environment. There is no long-
term plan for the safe storage of radioactive waste from nuclear reactors. More than 1 million pounds of
radioactive waste generated so far by Vermont Yankee sits on site in concrete dry casks. An accident while
transporting the waste or operating the reactor would release radioactive emissions into the air and water.
The resulting high dose radiation exposure could cause burns, hair loss, nausea, weakness, and even death.
Continued low dose radiation exposure exists even without such an accident and has been linked to increased
rates of cancers and birth defects.20
Fossil Fuels
Vermont is one of only two states that do not have coal-fired power plants. Instead, electricity generation
from fossil fuels primarily uses petroleum and a very small amount of natural gas.21
Petroleum combustion
releases nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and unburned hydrocarbons. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides
contribute to acid rain, which makes many rivers and lakes too acidic to sustain plant and animal life and also
affects crops and buildings. Once emitted into the air, nitrogen oxides react with hydrocarbons to form smog,
which can cause respiratory problems and is also implicated in crop reductions.22
Renewable Energy Sources
About a quarter of the electricity that Vermont generates comes from renewable sources. These sources
primarily include small-scale hydro-electric power plants, with other contributions from wind, solar, and
biomass. Only a minimal release of toxins is associated with the setup of these renewable energy sources, and,
once established, they do not release harmful substances into the air and water.
Vermont has much potential for expanding its renewable energy generation to accommodate in-state
electricity consumption. As outlined in VPIRG’s latest energy report, by 2032 Vermont could be getting 28% of
18. 18
its electricity from wind farms, 16% from biomass or wood-fired plants, 15% from solar power, 6% from
hydroelectric facilities, and 6% from farm and landfill methane projects with the remaining third coming from
Hydro-Quebec and the regional market.23

Hazardous Waste Generators
Introduction
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a Hazardous Waste Generator as "any person or site
whose processes or actions create hazardous waste”.25
These often include auto body shops, manufacturing
industries, print industries, electric utilities, and commercial hazardous waste treatment facilities. EPA groups
Hazardous Waste Generators into three categories based on the quantity of hazardous waste produced and
stored on-site. The following are the three categories:
Conditionally Exempt generators produce less than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste per month, or
less than 1 kilogram per month of acutely hazardous waste. Vermont is home to over 1,900
conditionally exempt generators.
Small quantity generators produce between 100 and 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month.
Large quantity generators produce more than 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month.
In Vermont, each hazardous waste generator is regulated according to its class by the Vermont Environmental
Protection Rules. Regulations are directed at the amount of waste generated and accumulated, its storage,
transport, treatment, disposal, recycling, and plans for handling emergencies. These regulations are aimed to
protect the environment and public health in Vermont.26
Additionally, EPA manages the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), to which, in accordance with the Emergency
Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), businesses must submit information regarding toxic
chemical storage, release, and transfer. TRI is a tool aimed to empower citizens by providing accessible
information that enables citizens to hold companies and local governments accountable in the management
of toxic chemicals.27
TRI can be accessed through EPA’s website: http://www.epa.gov/tri/

Hazardous Waste Sites
Introduction
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources defines hazardous waste as any waste that is toxic, corrosive,
ignitable, reactive, or causes strong allergic reactions and may cause or contribute to increases in mortality or
serious illnesses.28
Sites established for the treatment, storage, and disposal (TSDs) of these wastes are
hazardous waste sites. These sites can be created specifically to manage hazardous waste, but they are also
set up in an effort to clean up any area that has been polluted in the past. Regulations act to prevent and
contain the release of hazardous material into the environment, where it can contaminate soils, water, and
air.
In 1976, Congress passed the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to protect human health and
the environment from the threats posed by mismanaged hazardous waste. Vermont, along with two other
states, has been authorized to run its own Hazardous Waste Management Program, as its program has been
deemed equivalent to the federal program. The Vermont Hazardous Waste Management Program ensures
responsible hazardous waste management by doing the following:29
granting permits to treatment, storage, and disposal facilities
inspecting facilities to monitor compliance with program regulations
tracking hazardous waste transport to ensure it is stored at appropriate facilities
tracking hazardous waste data
providing an outlet for citizen concerns about mismanagement of hazardous waste
Creating New Sites
Before receiving a permit, a new hazardous waste site must obtain a Certificate of Need, which deems the
proposed facility necessary for the general good of the state. The awarding of a Certificate of Need indicates
that the facility is
• suitable for the intended type and amount of hazardous waste
• accessible by transportation routes that minimize threat to public health, safety, and the environment
• necessary to remedy a lack of adequate current treatment or disposal capacity for hazardous waste
generated in the region.
After obtaining a Certificate of Need, each facility must obtain a permit, awarded only if the facility complies
with regulations regarding design, operation, and maintenance.30
Toxic Map: Hazardous Waste Sites
The Hazardous Waste Sites identified on the accompanying maps are classified as low, medium, or high
priority of cleanup according to the types and quantities of materials released, and their corresponding threat
to public and environmental health. The map contains both sites that are active and now considered repaired
by DES standards.

Superfund Sites
Introduction
The National Superfund Program is the common name given to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), which Congress passed in 1980 in response to citizen concern about
abandoned hazardous waste sites. The “superfund” established by the program enables EPA to locate and
investigate these sites, and to ensure that the parties responsible for the sites clean them up or reimburse the
government for EPA-led cleanups. Importantly, community involvement is an integral part of the Superfund
Program: EPA frequently modifies its treatment of superfund sites in accordance with community input and
concerns, and EPA emphasizes keeping the community informed about its actions.31
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLIS) is
EPA's computerized inventory of potential hazardous substance release sites and contains information on all
waste sites that have been discovered. EPA uses this inventory to evaluate the potential for the release of
hazardous substances from each site and to make decisions about how a site will be treated.
• Sites that contain hazardous waste below levels that capture EPA's attention are referred to the states
for cleanup.
• Sites that pose a significant threat to human health and the environment are listed on the National
Priorities List (NPL). Sits are only added to the list after being scored according to the Hazard Ranking
System (HRS) and after being subjected to comment from the local community. If the site still qualifies
for Superfund cleanup after a formal comment period, it is added to the NPL. Sites on the NPL must be
cleaned up by Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), EPA, or the state.
• Sites where cleanup goals have been achieved, and which are deemed safe according to EPA
assessments, are deleted from CERCLIS. However, removal from the inventory can only take place after
a formal comment period from the local community. If still qualified for deletion after the formal
comment period, these sites become Archived Sites, and no further cleanup action is taken.32
Toxic Map: Superfund Sites in Vermont
Sites on the map include those given NPL status under CERCLIS and as well as non-NPL hazardous waste sites.
The non-NPL hazardous waste sites are classified under the CERCLIS list on EPA’s website but are not
designated Superfund sites. They may, however, be proposed for Superfund status pending a decision from
the EPA. Archived sites do not appear on the Superfund map.

Active and Inactive Landfills
Introduction
In 1987 the Vermont legislature passed Act 78, a comprehensive solid waste management law. The act was passed
primarily in response to citizen concern about contamination of surface water, groundwater supply wells, and soils
linked to disposal and landfill sites. The legislation established stricter regulations around the design, construction, and
operation of landfills. The following are some of the legislation’s key stipulations:33
All sanitary landfills were to be closed and replaced with lined landfills by 1992. Sanitary landfills isolate waste
until it become safe through complete biological, chemical, and physical degradation. However, sanitary landfills
are unlined, and therefore do not prevent leachate from contaminating the environment. Leachate is the
residual liquid from waste that contains dissolved, suspended, or miscible materials such as heavy metals or
organic compounds. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to treat leachate, so diluted quantities of
heavy metals or organic compounds could be released into the air and waterways. Since 1991, 47 unlined
landfills within Vermont have been closed.
Solid waste management was consolidated from a town level into solid waste districts at a regional level.
Regional districts are easier to regulate, and it is safer and more environmentally friendly to have fewer, large
disposal sites than it is to have many small sites scattered throughout the state.
Input from local communities was given high value in the regulation process, as this input makes for the most
sustainable and successful regulations.
The Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources was required to develop and implement a plan for waste
management regulation and to revise this plan every five years. The plan establishes procedures and standards
to protect public health and the environment by ensuring the safe, proper, and sustainable management of solid
waste. The most recent revision to the plan took place in 2006. More than previous plans, this one emphasizes
reducing the amount of waste produced that must be isolated in landfills.
Toxic Map: Landfills in Vermont
The accompanying map shows two categories of landfills:
Active Solid Waste Landfills currently accept waste. Some items are, however, banned from all Vermont
landfills. These include mercury added products, such as thermometers; waste oil, including motor oil; tires;
white goods, including refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, and other appliances; lead acid batteries and
nickel-cadmium batteries; paint thinners, removers, stains, and varnishes; and fluorescent lamps. (See
http://www.vtpsc.org/general/Vermont%20landfill%20banned%20materials.php for a more detailed listing.)
Inactive/Closed Solid Waste Landfills were for the most part closed after the 1987 legislation, although a few
may have been closed earlier. Closed landfills are often lined and capped with protective material to prevent
contaminants from leaking into groundwater.
Many Vermont towns also house waste transfer stations, which are not included on the map. These are old landfill sites
that have been converted to facilities where municipal solid waste is briefly held while it is transferred from primary
collection vehicles to larger, long-distance transport vehicles for shipment to landfills or other treatment or disposal
facilities.34

Water Dischargers
Introduction
In 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act (CWA), which set a broad goal of restoring and maintaining the
chemical, physical, and biological integrity of our nation’s surface waters, including its lakes, rivers, and coastal
waters, in order to support wildlife and recreation. Additionally, in 1974 Congress passed the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA), to protect public health by setting standards for drinking water and its sources, including
rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells. SDWA initially focused on water treatment as the
primary means of ensuring safe drinking water. However, amendments in 1996 have directed the law more
toward source water protection, operator training, and public information. In protecting water sources, SDWA
goes hand in hand with CWA.35
EPA regulates more than 90 water contaminants in order to promote public
health. All unregulated contaminants that may require future regulation are published in the Contaminant
Candidate List (CCL); after public comment and other considerations, candidate contaminants that require
regulation are moved to a Federal Register. EPA considers three criteria in deciding whether to regulate a
contaminant: potential adverse effects of the contaminant on human health, the frequency and level of
contaminant occurrence in public drinking water systems, and whether or not regulation of the contaminant
will present a meaningful opportunity for reducing public health risks.
There are two types of standards that EPA sets:
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR or primary standards) are legally enforceable. Primary
standards limit the levels of specific contaminants that can threaten public health and are known or anticipated
to occur. These take the form of Maximum Contaminant Levels or Treatment Techniques.
National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWR or secondary standards) are non-enforceable
guidelines for contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects, such as skin or tooth discoloration, or aesthetic
effects, such as taste, odor, or color, in drinking water. States, however, may choose to adopt these guidelines
as enforceable standards.
EPA sets standards for naturally-occurring and manmade contaminants in drinking water that fall under seven
major categories:
Microbes: Coliform bacteria, E. coli bacteria, Giardia lamblia and others
Radionuclides: radioactive materials (alpha/beta/photon emitters), Radium 226 and 228
Inorganic Contaminants: asbestos, mercury, copper, cadmium, lead, arsenic, fluoride, and others
Synthetic Organic Contaminants: pesticides and herbicides
Volatile Organic Contaminants: benzene, vinyl chloride, toluene, styrene, and others
Disinfectants: chlorine, chloramines, and chlorine dioxide, found in household cleaners, as well as others
Byproducts of Disinfectants: bromated, chlorite, haloacetic acids, and others
The SDWA gives states the authority to set and enforce their own drinking water standards as long as they are
at least as strong as the EPA’s. Consequently, most states directly oversee their own water systems.36
Toxic Map: Water Dischargers
The sites identified on the map refer to sites with permits that are major point source dischargers of one or
more regulated contaminants. Permits are awarded through the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Water
Quality Division, though the EPA’s Water Permits Division (WPD) has oversight authority.37

Underground Storage Tanks
Introduction
Vermont’s Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program was created in 1985 with the aim of preventing the
release of petroleum and other hazardous materials from these tanks into the environment. These released
substances can contaminate groundwater, and their explosive vapors can seep into confined spaces and
occupied dwellings. Released petroleum products that are regulated under the UST program include #2 and #4
fuel oil, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. Groundwater contaminated with
these products has an offensive odor and taste and is not suitable to drink.
Vermont’s UST program aims to ensure the following:
the proper construction of UST systems
proper and qualified oversight for UST installations, repairs, and removals
accurate monitoring of releases from active USTs
proper decommissioning of USTs that are no longer needed
Toxic Map: Underground Storage Tanks
All USTs regulated in Vermont are mapped on the following page. According to the Waste Management
Division of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Vermont is home to over 5,500
USTs located mainly on private residences, gas stations, and industrial buildings.
All tanks with a storage capacity of at least 1,100 gallons are regulated, unless they are used exclusively for
heating purposes. Tanks typically range in storage capacity from 1,500 to 20,000 gallons. 38

Legal and Illegal Salvage Yards
Introduction
A 2009 law has given the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) the jurisdiction to regulate junkyards
and salvage yards in the state. The law defines salvage yards as any outdoor place for storing, processing,
buying, or selling junk or scrap metal. It is aimed primarily at salvage yards run as businesses, but also
regulates salvage yards that exist without business connections where four or more unregistered motor
vehicles are visible from a public highway or navigable waterway. Notably, cars stored for less than 90 days
without inspection are not considered junk.
Vermont’s salvage yard law recognizes the importance of salvage yards as the leading recycling industry
nationwide and as the facilities responsible for recycling 75 to 85 percent of vehicle material. Salvage yards are
therefore central in conserving Vermont’s natural resources; but, when they are improperly operated, salvage
yards can also significantly harm the population and environment in Vermont.39
Vermont is currently home to many illegal, unlicensed salvage yards. These pose a threat to human health and
the environment because they are not necessarily operated in compliance with state regulations regarding the
proper storage, crushing, and processing of vehicles. Improper storage and crushing can allow contaminants
such as antifreeze Freon, lead, motor oil, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, and MTBEs in gasoline to
leach into the ground and water. These toxins threaten human health: lead can cause brain damage and
problems with the circulatory, reproductive, and nervous systems; asbestos and PCBs carcinogens; and motor
oil products are associated with liver, kidney, and bone marrow diseases. In addition, antifreeze is toxic to
aquatic life, and motor oil leached into the ground can contaminate soil and plants.40
To prevent these risks to
public health and the environment, it is imperative that undocumented salvage yards be brought under
regulation.
Toxic Map: Salvage Yards
The accompanying map indicates all the salvage yards in Vermont that are currently licensed. Today, this
includes only 75 salvage yards. There are believed to be an additional 200 to 300 yards that operate
illegally.41
The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Compliance and Enforcement Division is
currently seeking citizen help to map these unregulated salvage yards. DEC hopes to educate their operators
so they can bring their salvage yards into compliance with state regulations and decrease the pollution that
they release.
Citizens can visit http://www.anr.state.vt.us/dec/dec.htm to fill out a short survey that will help DEC to
locate these currently undocumented salvage yards.
