The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control publishes notices in Delaware newspapers to make the public aware of applications, permitting and regulatory decisions, enforcement actions, plans for cleanups, and other actions.
These notices may be required by state law or regulations, or may be traditional communication tools for regulatory and other programs. The Department also publishes them here, as part of its continuing effort to increase transparency.

This page, and its associated archive pages, contain public notices published in the last year. DNREC also offers pages that collect those notices that have been published en Español and an Kreyòl Ayisyen.
