Army Creek marsh, once a toxic clean-up site, now haven for wildlife

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources’  Site Investigation and Restoration Section has given a certificate of completion of remedy  to Army Creek Marsh in the New Castle area.

It concludes one of the largest ecological remediation projects  in Delaware’s history – returning 50 acres of the lower marsh to environmental viability after many years as a contaminated industrial site.

The Army Creek Marsh site, which includes another 68 acres remediated earlier under the auspices of DNREC, has become an  area for wildlife.

The Army Creek Marsh site, formerly occupied by the Amoco Polymer Company, was divided into two operable units  by DNREC for the purpose of performing work  on the property.
