The Maine Department of Environmental Protection said it will consider reimbursing homeowners up to $300 for one set of expensive PFAS well water tests near Brunswick Landing, but only if any PFAS levels resulted from this month’s major firefighting foam spill. The DEP will still test a select few wells east of the former Naval air base for PFAS in accordance to its still-developing sampling plan. How exactly residents can prove any contamination in their well is related to the recent spill and not preexisting is unclear.
