Inventory update shows decrease in toxic foam at Brunswick airport

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • January 14, 2025

The Town of Brunswick had asked the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority to provide an inventory of all aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) at the airport following a disastrous foam spill in August — Maine’s worst in 30 years. The authority provided an inventory in October, stating that it had 6,300 gallons of the concentrate left in its hangars. In a corrected inventory submitted to the town, the authority is now reporting there are only 5,700 gallons.
