Cleanup efforts are ongoing, and a variety of agencies are continuing to monitor and do testing around the site. Meanwhile, many Brunswick-area residents have expressed concern about the health and environmental effects from the spill, and will be convening during a public forum at town hall at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
