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 Keval Holdings for the 423 W 7th Street (site), located at 423 W 7th Street, New Castle, Delaware.  Identified by New Castle County as tax parcel numbers 21-014.00-555 & 21-014.00-579, the Site may have had a release of hazardous substances because of historical activities on site.   

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