The FBI visited the Boothbay Region Refuse Transfer Station alongside local law enforcement this week, but details about the action are scant.

The visit was not a raid, and agents were “conducting routine law enforcement activity,” Kristen Setera, spokesperson for the FBI’s Boston division, said in a written statement.

“Beyond that we’re going to decline to comment,” she said.

Boothbay Police Chief Douglas Snyder said in an email on Thursday that his department’s “involvement was limited to supporting the FBI.”

An attendee at the town’s Board of Selectmen meeting Wednesday asked if officials could confirm rumors of a possible “raid” at the site.

Members of the body said they could confirm the FBI’s presence but were not aware of the reason, referring additional questions to the bureau. They declined to answer an inquiry about whether district manager Steven Lewis had been placed on leave, citing an ongoing investigation.

Lewis told the Bangor Daily News that he had been suspended from his position at the facility but did not know why.

Lewis, who is also a member of the Board of Selectmen but who was not at Wednesday’s meeting, could not be reached by phone Thursday and did not immediately return questions regarding his status sent via his town contact form.
