Pursuant to the Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA), 7 Del. C. Chapter 91, §9126, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) is required to issue a public notice within twenty days after entering into negotiations for a Brownfield Development Agreement (BDA).  A BDA is an agreement between DNREC and a Brownfield developer with respect to a Certified Brownfield Site that sets forth a scope of work and schedule of remedial activities during the development of the Site.

DNREC’s Site Investigation and Restoration Section (DNREC-SIRS) negotiated a BDA with 837 Dupont DE LLC regarding the 837 North Dupont Highway Site (Site), located at 837 North Dupont Highway in Dover, Delaware.  Identified by Kent County as tax parcel number 2-05-05700-01-4300-00001, the Site may have had a release of hazardous substances as a result of historical activities on site.  For more information, please see DNREC’s navigator at: http://www.nav.dnrec.delaware.gov/DEN3.
