Sen. Mattie Daughtry said she plans to address PFAS contamination for her next term. Daughtry, who was recently reelected as a state senator and chosen to be Maine Senate president, plans to continue work on addressing the outfall from the Brunswick toxic foam spill that occurred in August. Daughtry said she plans to continue monitoring things happening at Brunswick Landing, where an airport hangar fire suppression system malfunctioned and released 1,450 gallons of a PFAS-containing, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) concentrate mixed with 50,000 gallons of water in August. Daughtry said she wants to ensure the neighborhood is thriving and safe for the residents that work there and that impacted communities at Brunswick Landing, a former Naval Air Station, are able to get their water tested.
