The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Remediation Section (RS) has adopted a plan regarding the clean-up of the All Rite Rubbish Removal [DE-0211] Site (Site) located in Felton, Delaware. The approximately 10.4-acre Site was used for agricultural purposes from at least 1937 until 1968. The northwestern portion of the property has been utilized for various commercial purposes since 1962. It operated as an automobile repair shop, a car and farm equipment dealership, and a storage area for vehicles and dumpsters. The Site has been vacant since 2021.

The Site will be subject to the following key remedial actions: development and compliance with a Contaminated Materials Management Plan (CMMP) and a Long-Term Stewardship (LTS) Plan, and the recording of an Environmental Covenant limiting groundwater withdrawal and restricting the property to non-residential use.

DNREC issued a public notice of the Proposed Plan of Remedial Action (Proposed Plan) for the All Rite Rubbish Removal Site on July 8, 2026. DNREC received one public comment that was not related to the selected remedial action and thus did not result in changes or revisions to the Proposed Plan.

Details of the Final Plan of Remedial Action (Final Plan) are available online at https://den.dnrec.delaware.gov. For additional information, please contact:
