Influx of $21 million could finish cleanup at Brooksville mine

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 28, 2022

Work to cleanup hazardous waste at a contaminated former mine in Brooksville will be expedited this summer after an injection of $21 million from the bipartisan infrastructure funding package passed last fall. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the additional funding on Tuesday and officials hope the flush of cash will help end the decade-plus long cleanup effort at the former Callahan Mining Corporation Superfund site.
