MAINE MORNING STAR • January 28, 2025
Brunswick resident Sandra Carslick said she and her neighbors have been living in a “bad dream” for the five months since 1,600 gallons of toxic foam spilled so-called forever chemicals at the already contaminated former Naval Air Station nearby. At a Brunswick Town Council meeting on Monday night, Carslick said that bad dream could soon become residents’ “worst nightmare,” if the town reopens a processing site for chemical-laden sludge from sewer treatment plants across Maine, and potentially beyond. The residents were responding to plans from Delaware-based Viridi Energy to update and expand Brunswick Landing’s anaerobic digester, which converts sewage sludge — also referred to as biosolids — into renewable natural gas and byproducts that get sent to landfills.
