The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control suspended a permit for Mike Davidson Enterprises, LLC that allowed the resource recovery facility to accept, process, and recycle construction and demolition waste.
The company is based in Camden-Wyoming, near Dover, Del.
The suspension charged that the company failed to address repeated environmental violations and after Mike Davidson Enterprises, LLC did not observe a cease and desist order issued by DNREC.
The Secretary’s Order prohibits the recycling site from accepting any solid waste including recyclable materials and requires Mike Davidson Enterprises, LLC to take steps to protect public health and the environment.
The suspension of the permit is in effect until Mike Davidson Enterprises, LLC demonstrates to DNREC’s Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Section that it is capable of operating the resource recovery facility lawfully and in compliance with the permit, a release stated.
Mike Davidson Enterprises, LLC, was cited for 22 violations
DNREC has given Mike Davidson Enterprises, LLC three months “as a reasonable time frame…to make the necessary changes to the facility in order to have the Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Section lift the suspension upon full compliance.”
