DUMP - Cherish This Lake

DUMP is a Community Organization opposed to the expansion of the Coventry mega-dump and interested in maintaining Lake Memphremagog 's health for fishing, recreation and a reservoir/water source for our Canadian Neighbors.  The proposed expansion is dangerously near the wetlands and the Lake.   We are on a tight schedule as we fight to become a party to Act 250 which will allow us a voice in the discussion, to appeal current permitting and publicizing what we are doing and why.  All money raised will go to signs, flyers, printing, postage,  fees incurred along the way for registering, publicity, help with transport costs for those needing to travel etc.   Once DUMP becomes a party the Act 250 hearing there will be other expenses.  

Support from those in the community is vital.  We would appreciate any financial support and community involvement too.  This is for the future of our lake, and the safety of future generations, both here and in Canada - we share these beautiful waters.  If we allow our lake to be polluted with dangerous and insoluble chemicals we will have destroyed it forever.  The chemicals that we are most concerned about cannot be removed and current testing is woefully inadequate.  

Update!  We have just learned that to appeal the decision of ANR (Agency of Natural Resources) it will cost us $15 - $20,000.00.  They clearly do not encourage appeals processes!

Thank you for your interest, concern and involvement.  You can reach us for more information at [email redacted] or DUMP LLC, PO Box 1402, Newport, Vt 05855 or find our group on Facebook.  Dump - Don't Undermine Lake Memphremagog's Purity
