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 Certified Brownfields Development Agreement (BDA). A BDA is an agreement between DNREC and a Certified Brownfields 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) is negotiating a BDA with The City of Lewes for the Army Reserve Center (site), located at 1137 Savannah Road, Lewes, Delaware.  Identified by Sussex County as tax parcel number 335-8.15-8.00, the Site may have had a release of hazardous substances because of historical activities on site.   

Details of the Brownfield Certification are available online at den.dnrec.delaware.gov.
