An act relating to wastewater discharges from landfills

Summary

The bill adds a new prohibition to Vermont law that bars both direct and indirect (via wastewater plants) releases of landfill or solid‑waste‑facility leachate into any water within the Lake Memphremagog watershed, regardless of treatment.
