Biosolids plant raises concerns in post-PFAS spill Brunswick

MAINE PUBLIC • February 12, 2025

Plans to expand a biosolids processing plant for sewage biosolids in Brunswick have alarmed residents who are still coping with the aftermath of a toxic forever chemical spill on a former naval air base just six months ago. Critics of the proposed expansion question why Delaware-based Viridi Energy would import PFAS-laden waste into Maine at a time when the state is struggling to process its own sewage sludge. The group Brunswick United for a Safe Environment will fight the new project while pushing to remove PFAS foam from the old air base.
