BROOKSVILLE, Maine (WABI) - A mine in Brooksville will soon get additional funding to accelerate ongoing contamination issues.

The Callahan Mine Superfund Site is getting $21 million of EPA funding through the bipartisan infrastructure law.

The site is one of thousands of contaminated sites nationally that have been given Superfund status due to the nature and extent of hazardous wastes and the cost and logistics associated with cleaning them.
