Bowdoin College has submitted materials showing proposed upgrades to Pickard Field Athletic Complex would be free of potentially dangerous chemicals, but the Brunswick Planning Department on Friday recommended the Planning Board table the project until it receives an external review of the science.
Your Land: A Mere Brook runs through us

Note: This is the 3rd in a series of columns about Mere Brook (aka, Mare, Mair Creek). The brook is central to Brunswick, and it is federally-listed as “urban-impaired”; as such, it is in need of improved water quality, and our town has just entered year two of a Maine DEP planning grant for that improvement. As part of that grant’s work, the town hired fluvial geomorphologist John Field to conduct an assessment, which he based on a walk of the stream from source to near head of tide last June.
