The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Remediation Section (RS) has adopted a plan regarding the clean-up of the Delaware Park Services Building Site (DE-1902) (Site) located at 2701 Capitol Trail in Newark, New Castle County, Delaware. The Site consists of one tax parcel (0804930379), totaling approximately 12.67 acres. The Site has been historically used as an office and administration building since it was constructed in the 1960s. Several underground storage tanks (USTs) and a fueling island were previously present at the site.

The Site will be subject to the following key remedial actions: maintenance of the existing top two feet within area of concern (AOC); development and compliance with the Contaminated Materials Management Plan (CMMP) and a Long-Term Stewardship (LTS) Plan; recording of an Environmental Covenant limiting soil disturbance within the AOC, restricting groundwater withdrawal, and requiring compliance with the CMMP and LTS Plan.

DNREC issued a public notice of the Proposed Plan of Remedial Action (Proposed Plan) for the Delaware Park Services Building Site (DE-1902) on October 7, 2026. There were no comments or questions from the public regarding the Proposed Plan.

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