That's because many of the pollutants found at these toxic dumpsites are known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other health problems. Unfortunately, until
these hazardous waste sites are cleaned up the toxic chemicals will continue to
leach into our soil and groundwater, and evaporate into the air and into our
environment.

Pennsylvania's Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund has been the state's primary method
for cleaning up these dumpsites -- and it has been hugely successful. To date,
the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund has been able to clean up hundreds of
contaminated dumpsites and create and/or retained thousands of jobs.

Unfortunately, the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund is running out of funding. If
our politicians in Harrisburg don't reauthorize this program soon, the funding
necessary to clean up toxic pollution will dry up and force cleanup efforts to
slow down--or worse yet come to a complete standstill.

Ask your state senator to reauthorize the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. Then ask
your friends and family to help by forwarding them this email.
