TIMES RECORD • October 2, 2025

A Brunswick business, 157 Pleasant LLC, a real estate company managed by Stephen Goodrich, will pay the Maine Department of Environmental Protection more than $10,000 after an employee illegally dumped 275 gallons of oil at a former auto dealership and garage owned by the company. A cellphone video taken by a witness showed a forklift driver carried the oil storage tank out of the building at 149 Pleasant St. and flipped the tank over to drain the motor oil before bringing the empty tank back inside. Goodrich hired an excavator to remove 34.5 tons of contaminated soil. Goodrich agreed to pay roughly $10,600 to the DEP, including a fine of $5,000 and $5,600 in reimbursement costs to the department. The employee who was recorded dumping the oil was fired.
