Inland
Bays Pollution Control Strategy Update
The
Delaware Department
of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)
presented a revised draft of the proposed Inland Bays Pollution
Control Strategy to the public in May during a series of three
workshops. The workshops were held in Millsboro
on May 12th, Dewey Beach on May 17th and Roxana on May 24th.
Over 170 people participated.
The workshops consisted of the PCS presentation, highlighting
the revisions to the draft, followed by break-out sessions consisting
of presentations and comment periods for three specific topics
within the PCS:
- buffers
- septic
systems
- the
Nutrient Protocol worksheet tool
Written
and verbal comments on all topics were taken during the workshops.
Following
the workshops, DNREC accepted public comments on the
draft PCS through June 17th. Currently, the Department
is reviewing the comments received and meeting with interested
parties in preparation for the next stage of the public process.
Further updates on the status of the PCS will follow in
future Tributary Times editions. For any questions regarding
the Inland bays Pollution Control Strategy, please contact Kathy
Bunting-Howarth at 302-739-9949 or Lyle Jones at 302-739-4590.
