The Department invites public comment on a proposal to clean-up Black Oak Development Site, OU-1 (DE-1863) located at 14241 Black Oak Drive in Lewes.

OU-2 will be addressed separately.

Black Oak Development Site, OU-1 will be subject to the following remedial actions: the submittal of a Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP) which specifies the removal and disposal of arsenic-impacted soils to meet DNREC Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA) residential standards, development and compliance with the Contaminated Materials Management Plan (CMMP), and the submittal of a Remedial Action Completion Report.

Details of the Proposed Plan are available online at: den.dnrec.delaware.gov.
