Pownal dumping reveals gaps in pollution law
Vermont relies on groundwater for most drinking water though formal procedures to prevent contamination are lacking. Officials confirm gaps after the discovery of a large amount of paint waste dumped in an open gravel pit near Route 7 in Pownal by Berkshire Pittsfield Septic Co. The waste from Stanley Tools in Shaftsbury has continued to be dumped after prior disposal into North Adams sewer lines was halted. Local officials fault the environmental agency for not warning town leaders about the site.
