The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Remediation Section (RS) has adopted a plan regarding the clean-up of the 1300 & 1310 E. 8th Street [DE-1869] Site (Site) located in Wilmington, Delaware. The approximately 2.1-acre Site operated as a lumber shed and truck shop from the 1920s until the late 1950s. From 1959 to 2024, the Site operated as an auto body and glass shop.

The Site will be subject to the following key remedial actions: maintenance of the existing cap, development and compliance with a Contaminated Materials Management Plan (CMMP) and a Long-Term Stewardship (LTS) Plan, and the recording of an Environmental Covenant limiting interference with remedy and groundwater withdrawal.

DNREC issued a public notice of the Proposed Plan of Remedial Action (Proposed Plan) for the 1300 & 1310 E. 8th Street Site on July 22, 2026. There were no comments or questions from the public regarding the Proposed Plan.
