Fathom Companies, recipient of US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) grant administered by the Southern Maine Planning & Development Commission (SMPDC), has secured funding to support the remediation and redevelopment of Lot 3, a subdivided portion of the former Maine Energy Recovery Corporation (MERC) site located at 3 Lincoln Street, Biddeford, Maine.
The funding will support cleanup activities on this historically industrial parcel, which previously housed a waste incineration facility. Proposed remedial actions include soil excavation, installation of engineered cap-and-cover systems, and related environmental protection measures. These actions are necessary to support the redevelopment of the site for residential units and mixed-use buildings and common spaces featuring a restaurant.
A Community Involvement Plan (CIP) and Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) plan have been prepared. The CIP, ABCA, and additional environmental documents are available for public review through SMPDC, Raegan Young, 110 Main Street, Suite 1400, Saco, ME. Electronic and printed reports can be provided upon request by contacting ryoung@smpdc.org or 207-746-3376. Documents can also be found on Maine DEP’s Online Remediation Sites portal (https://www.maine.gov/dep/maps-data/data.html) by searching for site number REM02179.
Public comments will be received over a 30-day comment period from December 11, 2025 until January 10, 2026. A public meeting will be held at 6 pm on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at Richard Martin Community Center, 189 Alfred Street, Biddeford, ME — First Floor, Room 8, to inform the public of the proposed cleanup plan and to receive public comments.
