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 Remediation Section (DNREC-RS) negotiated a BDA with Root Realty regarding the 3700 N Market Street Site (Site), located at 3700 N Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware. Identified by New Castle County as tax parcel numbers 06-144.00-007 and 06-144.00-008, 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: www.nav.dnrec.delaware.gov/DEN3.
