Memphremagog watershed, free online Leachate Symposium

“Leachate” is the liquid residue from landfills. The Memphremagog Watershed Association (MWA) invited members of the public curious to know more about leachate management practices to join a free, online Leachate Symposium, Monday Jan. 31 from 7-9 p.m.

The MWA promises an informative and technical discussion offering unbiased and accurate information for the public. The Vermont-based not-for-profit notes that leachate and its treat-ment within the Memphremagog watershed has been a hot topic on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border.

The expert panel and Q&A will be free and open to the public via Zoom with moderation by a professional facilitator. Pre-registration is required. Visit the Events sections of www.mwavt.org to sign up.

“MWA understands that leachate is a fact of landfills and hopes that by informing the public, rational and thoughtful discussions can result between all parties,” states Mary Pat Goulding, ex-officio board member. “This is not a topic unique to our location, and we hope to gain some insight from others across the country and the world with this symposium.”
