The Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority (MRRA) takes its stewardship of the former naval air station seriously. Since it was formed in 2008, it has actively engaged with the US Navy, the Maine DEP, The USEPA, the Town of Brunswick and local citizen groups in the management of legacy environmental issues on the former base properties.
At recent public meetings, a number of people raised concerns about the unfortunate August 19 release of Aqueous Fire Fighting Foam (AFFF), containing PFAS compounds in Hangar 4 and the impacts it may on drinking water wells in and around Brunswick Landing.
In light of the public questions and concerns raised regarding the recent AFFF release, we posed several questions to the Navy regarding the state of contaminated wells adjacent to the former base and the testing/remedial procedures moving forward.
