The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), Division of Air Quality (DAQ) will conduct two public workshops to receive input and feedback from the public on the department’s current efforts on revising the following regulation:

• 7 DE Admin. Code 1124 Section 26 “Gasoline Dispensing Facility Stage I Vapor Recovery” and Section 36 “Vapor Emission Control at Gasoline Dispensing Facilities.”

Two workshops will be held, as scheduled below, and the public can participate at either location:

The objectives of revising 7 DE Admin.

Code 1124 Section 26 and Section 36 will be available for public review prior to the workshop in DAQ’s offices at (1) 715 Grantham Lane, New Castle, DE, and (2) 100 W.
