George Bristol Award
The vitality, strength, and sustainability of the BMP Foundation lie in the active and continued participation of volunteers.

For any questions or to make a reservation for a table of eight or more, please call 450-266-5548. egarding the March 20 story about the wastewater treatment plant in Newport, Vt., it turns out that there were around three people attending the oversight committee for the New England Waste Services of Vermont Inc., a branch of Casella Waste Systems that is located in Vermont, who knew that in 2008 the Newport treatment plant had discontinued conducting the Waste Extraction Test (WET test). It was in 2009 the leachate from the New England Waste Services of Vermont landfill, which is the state dump, started being delivered to the Newport facility. Citizens question why the WET is not being undertaken in consideration to the high volume of leachate that is being treated and ending up in Lake Memphremagog.
