The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) formed the Brownfields Advisory Committee (BAC) to provide advice to the Division of Air and Waste Management (now the Div. of Waste and Hazardous Substances) on Brownfields rules, policies, and procedures. With the assistance of the BAC, the Division’s objective is to promote the cleanup and development of Brownfield sites in the state by ensuring timely and effective cleanups with protective, equitable and sustainable remedies. In addition, the BAC will address long-term stewardship for properties that have a remedy in place. The BAC will also help integrate DNREC’s objectives with other state and local goals for conservation and economic development. The Division will rely on the BAC to represent broad public interest and community perspectives for Delaware’s Brownfields program. Please contact Christina Wirtz at Christina.Wirtz@state.de.us or 302-395-2500 if you would like to join the BAC - new members are always welcome! 
In addition, the BAC has establish several subcommittees to provide input on technical, financial, and community outreach activities including, but not limited to: developing Brownfields regulations under the Hazardous Substance Cleanup Act (HSCA), amending the existing HSCA statute and regulations, reviewing loans and funding options, revising sampling and data quality protocols, and improving public participation and community involvement in the state’s Brownfields program.
A study was recently conducted by the University of Delaware to quantify the significant economic benefits of the brownfields program. You may read more about the study in a press release, and will also find the brownfields study online.
Visit the new Delaware Brownfields Marketplace! The Marketplace is an interactive database that contains a list of market-ready brownfield sites available for redevelopment in Delaware. The inventory is designed to make it easier for potential buyers and developers to locate available brownfield properties. Brownfields property owners may also submit their properties for potential listing on the Marketplace.
