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 2 concerned citizens and grants from private foundations. This financial support enables us to provide our services free of charge to communities facing pollution threats. 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgements and Preface…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………4 Introduction to Toxics in Vermont..……..……………………………………………………………………………….…………….........5 Summary Map of Vermont Toxic Sites………………………………………….…………………………………………………..………. 7 Recommendations………...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….….. 8 Take Action with an Environmental Organization…………………………………………………………………………………… 11 Overviews and Maps: Air Pollution Point Sources………………………………………………………………………………………………..………….
