I received the attached press release and legal notice from DNREC and I wanted to pass them along to you.

As you may know, 1743 Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University of Delaware, has purchased the old Chrysler site and has entered into an agreement with DNREC's Site Investigation and Restoration Branch (SIRB) to perform a brownfields investigation and to address contamination found at the Chrysler site. The site has been divided into operable units (OUs) to make the investigation and cleanup more manageable.  OU-5 includes the Chrysler trailer storage area and paint building on the westernmost part of the site, near the Christina Parkway bridge crossing the Amtrak railway tracks.

DNREC-SIRB will hold a community workshop on the Proposed Plan for OU-5 on Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at from 6:00 to 8:00 PM on the University of Delaware Newark Campus in Clayton Hall.

Details of the Proposed Plan are available at the Newark Library, at the office of DNREC-SIRB (391 Lukens Drive, New Castle, DE, 19720), or online at http://www.awm.delaware.gov/SIRB/Pages/SIRBPlans.aspx. 

The public comment period ends Monday, Dec. 13, 2010. For additional information, please contact Lindsay Hall or Wendy March, project managers, or Robert Newsome, Public Information Officer, at (302) 395-2600.
