The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Remediation Section (RS) invites public comment on a proposal to clean-up 6 Brookside Drive Site (DE-1899) (Site). The Site is located at 6 Brookside Drive and consists of New Castle County tax parcel 07-039.40-012, with a total area of approximately 1.01 acres. Adjacent area consists of commercial and industrial properties. To the north, there are Austin & Pruitt Fire & Safety and North Maryland Avenue.

The Site will be subject to the following key remedial actions: the submittal and approval of a Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP), development and compliance with the Contaminated Materials Management Plan (CMMP), placement of at least two foot of clean fill or impervious material (e.g. buildings, asphalt, or concrete) over impacted areas to restrict access to underlying soil, implementation of a site-specific Long-Term Stewardship (LTS) Plan, recording of an Environmental Covenant that ensures there is no interference with the remedy, restricts groundwater withdrawal and ensures compliance with the LTS Plan and CMMP, and the submittal of a Remedial Action Completion Report.

Details of the Proposed Plan of Remedial Action (Proposed Plan) are available online at den.dnrec.delaware.gov.
