the midcoast regional redevelopment authority is established as a body corporate and politic and a public instrumentality of the state to carry out the purposes of this article . the authority is entrusted with acquiring and managing the properties within the geographic boundaries of brunswick naval air station .
while both transfer options exist now , the midcoast regional redevelopment authority viewed the 2005 base realignment and closure statute as favoring fair - market language , which it said was a potentially costly impediment to the base’s transition to civilian use .
brunswick , maine — on thursday , the midcoast regional redevelopment authority paid off a $ 3 million loan from the u . s . navy 10 years early , which executive director steve levesque said thursday is a sign the redevelopment of the former brunswick naval air station is ahead of schedule .

levesque , executive director of the midcoast regional redevelopment authority , said that though there is clearly contamination at the base that will be an issue for years to come , the base is not unique in terms of properties in maine that have a history of industrial and commercial use . mrra is the group overseeing the base’s transition to civilian use .
“these new provisions will provide the midcoast regional redevelopment authority with additional tools to attract new businesses to the region and accelerate the redevelopment process , ” the senator said in a press release . “this will result in increased job opportunities for our skilled and dedicated workers and help to mitigate the very serious economic challenges created by the base’s closure . i fought hard to obtain these provisions in my work with the senate armed services committee , and i am truly delighted with the outcome . ”
snowe said the language isn’t a “silver bullet , ” but a victory nonetheless for base redevelopment .
the authority is established to facilitate the rapid development of the properties within the geographic boundaries of brunswick naval air station . in order to achieve this objective , the authority shall make every effort to :
the authority has sold more than 300 acres and 27 buildings — nearly 600 , 000 square feet .
since the navy moved out in may of 2011 , the midcoast regional redevelopment authority has received 1 , 700 acres of property and brought in 19 new businesses that have created 150 jobs with another 350 planned . the base , now called brunswick landing , is home to everything from monlnlycke health care , a medical devices manufacturer , to a new campus associated with southern maine community college , to aircraft manufacturer kestrel aviation . mrra executive director steve levesque said the redevelopment effort is far ahead of projections hoped for when bnas closed in 2005 and is progressing more rapidly than most other military facilities that closed at the same time .
the liability of the authority is governed by the maine tort claims act . a member of the board of trustees or an employee of the authority is not subject to any personal liability for having acted in the service of the member ' s or employee ' s duty as a member of the board or an employee of the authority within the course and scope of membership or employment to carry out a power or duty under this article . the authority shall indemnify a member of the board or an employee of the authority against expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of an action or proceeding in which a member of the board or an employee is made a party by reason of past or present association with the authority .
during the past thirty months , the college , the town of brunswick , and the midcoast regional redevelopment authority ( mrra ) have worked collaboratively to gain an understanding of the lands characteristics ; to determine areas of the property most suitable for the colleges future development and proposed educational program of use ; to minimize fragmented ownership of the land ; and to zone the property to allow for the colleges future development of the site and to conserve natural resources where appropriate . as a result of this work , the boundaries of the three parcels were established and the college recertified its applications to the dept . of education for the public benefit conveyances in november 2010 .
a trustee is not entitled to receive compensation for services to the authority but is entitled to receive reimbursement for necessary expenditures , including travel expenses , incurred in carrying out those services .
the board of trustees shall elect a chair and vice - chair from among its members . the authority may employ an executive director , technical experts and other agents and employees , permanent and temporary , that it requires and may determine their qualifications , duties and compensation . for required legal services , the authority may employ or retain its own counsel and legal staff .
quicker - than - expected economic development conveyances of former base property to the mrra and the rate of redevelopment at brunswick land and topsham commerce park allowed the mrra to make the early payment , according to levesque .
“this is a very good step for us , ” she added . “it maybe doesn’t get us everything we wanted , but it holds hope that we can make redevelopment at ( bnas ) a little easier . ”
the authority is governed by a board of trustees composed of 11 voting members appointed by the governor and subject to review by the joint standing committee of the legislature having jurisdiction over economic development matters and to confirmation by the senate .
claudia sait has been the dep’s project manager at the former base since 1997 . she said the task of cleaning the area for redevelopment is complex and ever - changing as new contaminants are unearthed based on historical records of past activities .
“this case isn’t closed yet , ” pingree said . “it’s important that we make sure that defense secretary gates uses the authority this legislation gives him and transfers the former brunswick naval air station land quickly and in a way that is economically feasible for the community . ”
“this couldn’t have happened without the citizen involvement , ” said johnson . “a lot has gotten done and in terms of the redevelopment , much of the land has been turned over very quickly because we all have worked so closely together . but the reality is that we’re still identifying new sites .
brunswick , maine — among the legacies left behind at the now - closed brunswick naval air station , which is currently under redevelopment for commercial and public use , is pollution that lies in the soil and bedrock beneath the 3 , 200 - acre base that could still be the focus of cleanup efforts decades from now .
with more than 2 , 100 acres of prime real estate , nearly 1 . 5 million square feet of commercial and industrial space , a world class aviation complex , and 1 , 000 acres of open space , brunswick landing and topsham commerce park are uniquely situated to meet the demands of your business . the brunswick landing campus has 9 land - use districts , with 15 properties currently available for redevelopment .

“this round of base closures is particularly tough for a lot of reasons . this is taking everyone a lot longer , across the board . for brunswick to have gone from ‘ground zero’—starting with a clean slate of empty buildings and now having ( 110 ) tenants at the base—there is no one close to them in that 2005 brac portfolio . ”

a recent aerial photo of the former site of the brunswick naval air station .
gasoline , jet fuel , hazardous waste and possibly the remnants of unexploded munitions , among other contaminants , lie in numerous sites on the former base itself , as well as in former navy satellite sites in harpswell and topsham , according to officials from the maine department of environmental protection . many of the sites have benefitted from decades of cleanup activities , which to date have resulted in more than 80 percent of the former navy land being turned over for civilian use .
although the cleanup effort will stretch long into the future , according to david wright , remediation project manager for the department of environmental protection , the dep counts the former bnas , which officially closed on may 31 , 2011 , as one of its success stories .
“the cleanup is still going and will be ongoing for a long time , ” he said . “there are some former hazardous waste disposal areas that will frankly never be transferred” out of navy control .
wright said that since the entire base is designated as a federal superfund site , the federal government and the department of defense is liable for the environmental cleanup — including reimbursing the dep for its efforts there . millions of dollars have been contributed to the effort , including $ 5 million from the navy in 2011 alone .
from a land - use perspective , the ongoing cleanup means that some areas will have restrictions on them that eliminate the possibility of certain types of buildings or activities , such as residences , schools and long - term care facilities for the elderly . and as for drilling wells for drinking water , wright said that’s not likely to happen anytime soon on the former base , if ever , though the base has a closed - loop water system that is impervious to the contaminants .
“the entire base has a groundwater restriction . you can’t drill or extract any of the groundwater , ” said wright . “those restrictions go with the property when it’s transferred . ”
“this is like cleaning up and evaluating a small town that had weapons , ” she said . “it is not clear - cut . ”
one of the chief concerns is a 78 - acre parcel known as the eastern plume , at the eastern edge of the former base .
according to data provided by sait and a local organization called brunswick area citizens for a safe environment , there are at least three known contributors to the plume . one is the orion street landfill , which along with an adjacent hazardous materials dump was used for about 20 years beginning in 1955 to dispose of garbage , waste oil , pesticides , solvents , paint , and aircraft and automobile parts .
a decision was made by the navy and environmental regulators in 1990 to leave the materials in the ground rather than go through the expense and risk of removing them . in 1995 , an impervious barrier was installed over and around the landfill , which is designed to keep more groundwater from seeping through it and into the surrounding area .
another source of the eastern plume is a caustic acid pit that was used in the early 1970s to dump acid , transformer oil , battery acid , solvents and paint thinners . today , a building rests on top of the former pit and the navy has said that if the building is ever razed , the soil beneath it will have to be evaluated and possibly cleaned .
the third major contributors to the eastern plume are a former chemical storage area and a fire training facility where , until 1987 , combustible liquids were poured directly onto the ground as part of firefighting training exercises . in the 1990s , considerable efforts to remove the hazardous material included removal of buried drums and other debris , as well as the excavation of up to 10 feet of contaminated soil over a half - acre parcel .
cleanup of the eastern plume continues through the use of an extensive groundwater extraction and treatment system , which was installed in 1995 . it involves machinery that sucks in contaminated groundwater , filters it and pumps it back into the ground . sait said the area in and around the eastern plume is subject to constant monitoring in an effort to slow the migration of the contaminants to waterways and nearby homeowners’ wells .
other areas being cleaned up or investigated include several waste , munitions and mercury disposal sites , a contaminated quarry and former target practice areas , including one where an estimated 43 tons of lead munitions were fired into berms . there are also sites where nuclear weapons were once stored , according to wright , though most of those areas have been cleared from a radiological standpoint .
suzanne johnson , a local attorney and a member of brunswick area citizens for a safe environment , said that despite all the known and unknown problems , an aggressive cleanup effort supported by a strong citizen oversight component for the past two decades has reaped major progress .
“what people have to remember is that this is a former military base , ” she continued . “how do we make sure that people are aware that if they find a shiny silver object on the ground , don’t go out and look at it ? it might be a munition . and even today , we probably don’t know the extent of the different chemicals that have been used out there . ”
wright said that with so much work left to be done , the dep , federal environmental protection agency and the navy are using a “triage” approach to make the best properties available as soon as possible .
“we’ve focused on areas that we could get transferred quickly , ” said wright . “those are primarily the clean areas . ”
“how many closed paper mills do we have sitting around ? how many closed textile mills ? how many fish processors ? ” he said . “unfortunately the environmental factors are just something we have to deal with . ”
johnson said she expects the scope of the contamination to change over the coming years for the better , but also possibly for the worse .
“we need to understand that it’s not a static ; it’s not a one - time look , ” she said . “it’s an evolving process . the key is that we’ve had funding at the federal level to do these things , but as money gets tighter the real question is will there be funding to deal with what we know is there as well as what might be on the horizon . no one can just put this out the back door and shut it and walk away from it . ”

the mrra is the first of the entities redeveloping former navy bases closed in the 2005 base realignment and closure process to begin paying back loans , levesque said .
the early repayment will save the mrra approximately $ 1 million in interest and bank charges , according to a mrra release .
“we developed a very good working relationship with the navy , so we were able to get things going very early , ” levesque said . “we’re getting property transfers probably quicker than other people . … a lot of things came together , so we got a jumpstart on things . ”
to date , the navy has transferred approximately 1 , 660 acres of the approximately 2 , 100 acres mrra was due to receive for civilian reuse , according to levesque’s may 22 report to the board .
mrra has been conveyed 745 acres — 68 percent — of non - airport property and 971 acres — 98 percent — of airport land , levesque wrote .
bowdoin college has received final approval from the u . s . department of education for its request to acquire , by public benefit conveyance , three parcels of land totaling approximately 146 developable acres on the west side of the brunswick naval air station when the base closes in 2011 . the additional land , which totals 259 acres in all , will be used for educational purposes .
the dept . of educations final approval of the public benefit conveyances is a major milestone in a process begun in september 2006 when bowdoin president barry mills announced bowdoin ' s intent to pursue the acquisition of navy land that he described as critical to the college ' s ability to meet the growing needs of the college community .
with the land necessary for future expansion , bowdoin can continue to meet the educational needs of our students while also enhancing our role as an economic mainstay in brunswick and mid - coast maine ,  said mills . we are grateful to the department of education and to the members of our community who have supported and assisted us in this critical effort .
the three parcels requested by the college and approved by the dept . of education include :
12 acres ( parcel 1 ) for construction of a storage facility and warehouse space that might , in part , accommodate the display of contemporary art ; and parking .
104 acres ( parcel 2 ) for construction of athletic fields with parking and a service building ; an interpretive nature trail that will accommodate student and faculty research and field studies in environmental studies and other academic disciplines .
143 acres ( parcel 3 ) for environmental studies , including a classroom / lab building and parking ; to support sustainable food production , horticulture , and agriculture , including the construction of three greenhouses ; a service building for equipment storage ; and the extension of the interpretive nature trail .
some natural areas unsuitable for development , such as significant vernal pools , were included in the colleges conveyances because of the opportunity these areas provide for academic field study and research .
the proposed uses are those we expect to commence within three years of acquisition of the property ,  said s . catherine longley , bowdoins senior vice president for finance and administration & treasurer . as part of the development , we will work with regulatory agencies including the u . s . environmental protection agency , the maine department of environmental protection , the federal aviation administration , and the u . s . coast guard . the college will review the feasibility of this development based on economic conditions over the next three years .
the dept . of education ' s approval for a public benefit conveyance of the land to the college is contingent on satisfactory remediation by the u . s . navy of any environmental contamination discovered on the property . it is anticipated that the department of the navy will assign the property to the dept . of education for conveyance to the college by fall of 2011 . the colleges plans for development of the property are subject to final approval by the bowdoin board of trustees .
the approved conveyance of bnas land to bowdoin college is the latest in a series of land transfers involving the base , the town , and the college dating back nearly two centuries . the town of brunswick conveyed a portion of the brunswick town commons to bowdoin college in 1813 . this land was leased back to the town by the college in the early 1940s and was acquired in 1944 by the u . s . government through eminent domain . this particular parcel , approximately 200 acres in size , today constitutes a portion of the runway at bnas .
bowdoin college , which is a tax - exempt , non - profit institution , is currently the 8th largest taxpayer in brunswick . the college pays taxes on some real estate and several taxable operations , such as its stores and restaurant operations . in addition , in the fiscal year ending june 30 , 2010 , bowdoin made voluntary contributions to the town of brunswick in excess of $ 500 , 000 . the college employs 873 people , most of whom reside in the greater brunswick area .
brunswick — the state’s congressional delegation has managed to strike a language compromise in the defense authorization bill that the redevelopers of brunswick naval air station say will speed property transfers at the base and soften the region’s recovery from its shutdown .
the provision encourages the u . s . navy’s use of no - cost economic development property conveyances in addition to fair - market value sales .
u . s . sen . olympia snowe , r - maine , last winter co - sponsored a bill that would favor the no - cost transfers . snowe’s bill was followed by a similar house bill by u . s . rep . chellie pingree , d - maine . pingree’s bill required the no - cost transfers . both passed their respective houses this summer , although snowe’s provision wasn’t as strict .
but the inclusion of the provision was in doubt while the two bills were being reconciled in conference committee , mainly because it was not supported by the obama administration , which said a reliance on no - cost transfers would hamper the department of defense’s ability to fund environmental clean - ups at decommissioned bases .
but on oct . 7 , the delegation claimed its efforts were successful when u . s . sen . susan collins , r - maine , a conferee negotiating the final legislation , managed to strike a compromise . it would allow the transfer of base property at or below fair - market value , depending on the economic conditions at of the affected community and the cost to redevelop the property . the navy will still have the option of no - cost transfers .
according to pingree spokesman willy ritch , the house was expected to pass the bill oct . 8 , followed by the senate on oct . 9 . despite obama’s previous opposition to the provision , ritch said pingree doesn’t believe the president will kill it because it was included in the massive defense authorization bill , legislation that includes funding for a multitude of dod projects and expenses .
“the language takes a solid step in the right direction by striking language that states that the department of defense ‘shall’ seek fair - market value when transferring excess military property , ” snowe said in a press release .
“this is a true victory for our base communities , and , if this bill is signed into law by the president , i urge the secretary of defense to keep these factors in mind during ( property ) negotiations , ” she added .
pingree , in a release sent last week , said that while the best - case scenario would have been for the dod to be required to make no - cost transfers , she is hopeful the compromise will prompt serious consideration from defense secretary robert gates .
pingree , in a followup interview , said she was hopeful the provision would prompt the dod to take a hard look at no - cost transfers , particularly in brunswick , which she said , faced a steeper climb to economic recovery than some other base closures . pingree said one such closure , naval station treasure island in san francisco , became a flash - point for lawmakers’ opposition to the no - cost provision because developers with political ties there stood to gain premium property for free .
“brunswick is an easier case to make ( for no - cost transfers ) than california , ” pingree said .
“this is an important development for us , ” levesque said . “without it , it’s hard to imagine how we could come up with the tens of millions of dollars it would take to purchase land at the base . ”

all aerial demonstrations , including flyovers , jump team demonstrations , and participation in civilian air shows and military open houses will cease as of april 1 , 2013 .
