*URGENT CALL AND WRITE STATE SENATORS AND HOUSE DELEGATES TODAY*

 This is YOUR chance to say NO to any more Mega Landfills in Virginia. It
is extremely important to call State Senators and Delegates IMMEDIATELY to
ask them to support the two bills written to stop the development of Mega
Landfills in Virginia.

 Senator Hashmi's Senate Bill 409 (SB 409) L*ocal Impact from large
landfills* is written to require DEQ to issue in writing what impacts to
local water, soil, and air quality are expected from the construction and
operation of a mega landfill.

 Delegate Sam Rasoul's House Bill 1038 (HB 1038)* Solid waste management
facility; permit for landfill with capacity of more than 35 million tons *is
written to require DEQ to determine that the amount of capacity in excess
of 35 million tons will serve a public interest that outweighs any
additional harms to human health and safety and the environment caused by
such capacity in excess of 35 million tons.

 The very first step in this process is to *call/email* (or both) the
members of both committees in the Senate and House to express your support
of each bill. I have attached two documents containing contact information
for the individual committee members who will be voting on these bills in
the coming days and weeks. We *must call before* the bills are placed on
committee dockets or agendas.

 Keep it short and simple when calling and writing committee members. Ask
that they vote in support of SB 409 and HB 1038. Virginia is already a
leading importer of out of state trash and does not need to build
additional mega landfills to accommodate the waste from other states.

 Please forward this information to as many groups and people as possible
and please encourage your family and friends to make these extremely
important calls. Just copy and paste these email addresses into the
Recipient field to make things easier for you. Thanks Very Much
