About the Toxics Action Center

The Toxics Action Center provides assistance to residents fighting toxic hazards in their communtities. Since 1987, we have helped over 225 neighborhood groups clean up hazardous waste sites, reduce the use of industrial toxins, decrease industrial pollution, and oppose the siting of dangerous facilities. When the government won't take action and the company denies there's a problem, we're a resource for residents concerned with environmental health hazards in their communities. We provide residents with information about environmental laws, strategies for organizing against polluters, a network of activists throughout the state, and access to legal and technical experts.

Donations from concerned citizens and grant from private foundations fund the Toxics Action Center. This financial support enables us to provide our services free of charge to neighborhoods facing the threats of toxic pollution.

Introduction

Although Maine is a beautiful and largely rural state ("the way life should be"), its landscape is littered with a toxic legacy. There are 474 hazardous waste sites in the state. There are 12 "Superfund" sites and 43 potential "Superfund" sites in the state--sites so polluted with toxins that no one may work or live on them. Maine industries use more toxic chemicals per person than any other New England state. In 1997, industries released 7,962,190 pounds of toxins in the state.

Twenty years ago when people thought of the environment, they thought about picking up litter and ways to protect our wilderness and wildlife. Yet in the late 1970s, toxic contamination at Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY, a nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, a leukemia cluster in Woburn, Massachusetts, and contaminated wells in East Gray, Maine made national news and taught that there was much more to be concerned about and much more to do. Unfortunately, these tragedies were not isolated incidences. As the recent cancer cluster in Fairfield, Maine tragically reveals, Maine and every state in the Union have a long way to go to protect citizens from the effects of toxic pollution.

Along with the startling facts and figures in this report, it is important to recognize three points-lessons which were actually learned from the tragedies twenty years ago and countless others like them since then.

The first point is that toxic chemicals in our environment can poison and even kill us. Today the evidence grows of the links between toxic pollution and high levels of asthma, cancer, and reproductive disorders in our communities. The Fairfield cancer cluster is just one example as residents from across the state question health epidemics in their community and their relationship to environmental toxins.

The second point is that companies, as a rule, do not voluntarily take responsibility for their pollution. In fact, they often go to extraordinary lengths to avoid liability for their toxic messes. Today, corporations continue to exercise the power of their money to shape public policy and influence decision-makers.

The third and most important lesson is that residents must join together to make their concerns heard, to make polluters accountable, and to make government take action. Too often, relenting to pressure from industry, government officials do not aggressively enforce environmental regulations. Illegal dumping on a vacant lot or toxic emissions from a belching smokestack can go on for weeks, months, or even years without any government attention. Time after time, it comes down to residents who are willing to stand up and take action.

As our toxic threats in Maine grow, more and more residents are uniting. In Hampden, concerned citizens are fighting the expansion of a dangerous landfill. In Waterboro, residents are working to protect their wells from gravel pit blasting. In Topsham, residents have organized to protect their town from the hazards that golf course pesticides pose. In towns throughout the state, citizens are fighting sludge spreading. In Gorham, citizens are fighting the contamination of gasoline in their private wells. In Dresden, residents are organizing to protect their wetlands. These are just a small number of people behind the statistics presented in this report.


Recommendations

There are policy options for Maine to reduce environmental and health risks across the state

Power Plants Due to a loophole in the Clean Air Act, the oldest and dirtiest plants operate under more lenient standards than newer facilities. Central Maine Power's Wyman Station is one of these grandfathered dirty power plants. The King Administration should close this loophole

New natural gas plants also present an environmental risk due to emissions, potential for oil spills, and water usage. New gas plants should not be sited in areas with limited water resources, nor should they be sited without replacing a dirtier facility of equivalent size.

Industrial Toxic Chemical Use The "lifecycle" of industrial chemical use poses threats to residents, workers, and consumers. These risks stem from potential accidents, spills, emissions, worker handling, waste disposal, toxins in products, and product disposal.

Earlier this year, the state passed a Toxic Use Reduction law. This is a step in the right direction. This law requires facilities to set their own goals for reducing their toxic use and makes available to the public how well they are meeting those goals. Maine's toxic using industries should set ambitious goals and implement effective plans to meet those goals.

Hazardous Waste Site Cleanup Hazardous waste sites can pose a health threat due to direct exposure (i.e., through dermal contact) or contamination of drinking water. According to the Department of Environmental Protection, there are 474 hazardous waste sites in the state.

The state has regulations regarding the cleanup of these sites, but there are no official provisions to allow citizens to participate in the cleanup process. This means that residents who want to ensure that their communities are safe and free from toxic contamination can have almost no say in how a toxic site in their neighborhood is cleaned up.

A public participation program that provides grants to community groups and allows access to all information about a hazardous waste site would provide essential oversight in the cleanup program and ensure that cleanups are done right the first time.

Medical Waste Incinerators Nationally, medical waste incinerators are the number two source of dioxin and number four source of mercury in the environment, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Dioxin is a known human carcinogen, and has been linked to reproductive and developmental disorders and immune system damage. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin which interferes with the normal brain development of fetuses and infants.

Most of the medical waste incinerators in Maine have been shut down due to regulations put forward by the EPA under the Clean Air Act. The waste that these facilities were burning are now being shipped to out of state incinerators. As a pollution prevention measure, the state should implement specific programs to help hospitals eliminate their use of toxic materials like PVC and mercury-containing products.

Municipal Solid Waste Maine burns 40 percent of its waste. Nationally, trash incinerators are the number two source of dioxin and number two source for mercury in the environment, according to the EPA. Incinerators also produce a toxic ash, which must be land filled According to the EPA; all landfills can be expected to eventually leak.

Maine recycles 40 percent of its waste. Currently, the state is considering lifting its moratorium on commercial landfills in order to create more landfill space. The state should NOT lift this moratorium. Instead, the state should implement an even more aggressive recycling program (New Jersey, for example, has close to a 50% recycling rate) and pass a ban on wasteful packaging, thereby reducing its reliance on incineration and its need for new landfills.

Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant Maine's only nuclear power plant, Maine Yankee, was shut down in 1997. Unfortunately, the power plant still poses a health risk because nuclear waste is still stored at the plant. The decommissioning of Maine Yankee should be done in a deliberate manner with the public integrally involved in the clean up process.

Sludge Sewage sludge and septage is being distributed through Maine's environment by being spread on agricultural fields. Reusing clean human waste could be a positive practice. Unfortunately, too often, sludge contains more than human waste: unregulated toxic discharges, heavy metals, and persistent chemical compounds can be found in sludge, making its spreading a serious public health risk. Currently, Maine's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is promoting the use of sludge and has made it against the law for towns to not accept sludge spreading. Instead of promoting sludge spreading, the state should ban the application of sludge that may contain industrial discharges, toxics, and persistent chemicals. The state should also prohibit sludge spreading in towns that have not explicitly approved the practice by a town-wide vote.

Pesticides Pesticides are chemicals deliberately added to our environment to kill living things and are, therefore, toxic by design. Pesticides have been linked to a growing list of public health problems, including cancer, reproductive harm, and genetic damage. Pesticides are a serious and growing threat to the public health.

There are a number of policies the state should enact to reduce pesticide use and exposure. The first is to pass a strong pesticide right to know law so residents can find out how and when pesticides are being applied in their communities. Currently, Maine has no useful system for collecting data on how much, where, and what kinds of pesticides are applied in the state. Maine's Department of Transportation sprays pesticides along 8,000 miles of state roads, through most of the state's municipalities. The state should stop this dangerous and unnecessary spraying. Also, the state should ban aerial spraying, which allows as much as 80% of pesticides to drift off target.
