The Department has adopted a plan regarding the clean-up of Operable Unit 2 of the Whittington Woods Site located in Bear. The OU-2 portion of the Site was part of a former sand and gravel borrow pit that allowed open burning and pallet restoration from the early-1950s to the late- 1960s. The Site requires a recording of an Environmental Covenant changing the Use Limitation from solely open space or recreational to non-residential types permitted within commercial, manufacturing, or industrial districts respectively.

DNREC issued a public notice of the Amended Proposed Plan for Operable Unit 2 the Whittington Woods Site on May 12, 2024. There were no comments or questions from the public regarding the Amended Proposed Plan. Details of the Amended Final Plan are available online at: den.dnrec.delaware.gov
