ABOUT BACSE
BACSE has effectively represented the local community during the over 30-year process of remediation (still on-going) and redevelopment of the former Naval Air Station in Brunswick, Maine. BACSE has kept the public informed on the progress of the proposed remediation at the former base and has been an advocate for visible and effective institutional controls since the early days of site closure. BACSE has operated continuously for over 34 years with the purpose of keeping the public informed on the status of the CERCLA (Superfund) investigations and remediation at the former Brunswick Naval Air Station. BACSE provides community input to the U.S. Navy and to the U.S. EPA and Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on CERCLA-related investigations, reports and proposed remedial actions at the former military base. BACSE is a volunteer, non-profit environmental organization and funded, in part, by a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) from the United Sates Environmental Protection Agency.
BACSE's non-profit corporation organizational structure consists of a President, Secretary and Treasurer and three Directors.
