• Did you know the possible health impacts of exposure to this toxic waste for your children? Lead paint has been in the headlines because of its use in toys, but did you know it can be can also be an issue if its in the soil or dust in the air? Asbestos is also a health concern for children when airborne or brought into the homes as dust.

• Did you know that the only solution the EPA has come up with in the past 10 years involves digging, hauling and dumping this toxic waste in residential neighborhoods in town at one of the following three sites: OU3 Upper Ferry Creek, OU4 Raybestos Memorial Ballfield, OU9 Short Beach Park and Stratford Landfill

• Did you know the EPA has proposed the cheapest option for clean-up because they feel they can get the most “Bang for the Buck” by dumping toxic waste in residential neighborhoods. Click here to review the EPA costs for each property

• Did you know that the EPA's substandard, underfunded, sole option for clean-up has actually cost the Town of Stratford Tens of Millions of Dollars in the past decade due to impaired property values, devaluation of the surrounding communities, lost economic development opportunities and lost municipal tax revenue?

**2012 Update**

• Did you know that there is a proven technology that effectively destroys Asbestos and PCB's (two major components of Toxic Raymark Waste) and eliminates the hazardous exposures completely? 

• Did you know that this proven technology has already been used successfully by the US government at several sites including Utility plants, military bases and facilities in the United States? 

• Did you know that this technology passed all environmental, health, safety and regulatory testing requirements and was 10 to 100 times better that the standards set forth by the EPA and US Government?

• Did you know that the EPA approved this technology for use destroying Asbestos and PCB's in 2006 and even granted a permit to the company to use this technology in all fifty states?
