Coastal Zone Status Decision Application from Alma Available for Review

The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control invites the public to review an application for a Coastal Zone Act status decision from Alma LLC of New Castle to establish a 5-10 acre bulk product transfer operation at 601 Christiana Avenue, Wilmington, Del.

Alma proposes to use the transfer operation to move construction and demolition debris from a docking facility on to barges and move the material out of state for recycling or disposal. According to Alma’s application, no manufacturing will take place and no hazardous waste will be managed or disposed of at this site. The barges will be loaded by crane or conveyor belt.

Environmental impacts appear to consist of air emissions from a diesel engine and some dust.

The application is available for public review at DNREC’s offices at 89 Kings Highway in Dover and 715 Grantham Lane south of New Castle, the Hockessin Public Library, the Wilmington Public Library and the Delaware City Public Library.

Comments concerning the application should be sent to: DNREC, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901, attention Dennis Brown, by close of business (4:30 p.m.) Monday, March 28.

For questions or additional information, contact Dennis Brown, Planning and Compliance Assistance, (302) 739-3091.
