The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Remediation Section (RS) invites public comments on a proposal to clean-up Riveredge Industrial Park (DE-1846) (Site) located at 130 and 150 Lukens Drive in New Castle Delaware. It consists of two tax parcels, 130 Lukens Drive (NCC Tax Parcel 21-023.00-001; 5.44 acres) and 150 Lukens Drive (NCC Tax Parcel 21-022.00-002; 176.82 acres), totaling approximately 182.26 acres. Since the early 1960s the Site operated as a shooting range.

The Site will be subject to the following key remedial actions: Implementation of the DNREC-approved Contaminated Materials Management Plan (CMMP) during Site work; installation and maintenance of signage to inform of surface water conditions; recording of an Environmental Covenant restricting well installation and groundwater withdrawal; and compliance with Long-Term Stewardship Plan for signage maintenance.
