Bill Summary
Resolve, to Ensure the Removal of Aqueous Film-forming Foam from the Former Brunswick Naval Air Station |
AI Summary
This bill requires the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority (MRRA) to take specific actions regarding aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), a type of fire suppressant foam containing harmful fluorinated chemicals, at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station. By December 31, 2025, the MRRA must shut down or disable all fire suppression systems containing AFFF and remove all AFFF or AFFF concentrate from properties it owns or leases. By July 1, 2026, the authority must secure funding to completely purge these systems, and by December 31, 2026, fully remove all AFFF and AFFF residue from fire suppression and other systems. The bill aims to eliminate potentially hazardous chemical materials from the site, addressing environmental and safety concerns associated with these persistent chemicals that have been linked to potential health risks.
