NEWS UPDATES:

ANNUAL STATE TRI DATA AND REPORTS SHOW DECREASES IN EMISSIONS; COMPANIES' ANTI-POLLUTION EFFORTS, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ARE FACTORS - The annual Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data and reports for 2009 from Delaware’s industrial facilities as compiled by DNREC show a significant decrease in reported emissions over 2008 and continued trend in reduction since 1998 – a baseline year when TRI reporting requirements expanded significantly and more facilities began reporting to the program.  In this the 23d year of TRI data collection from facilities for distribution to the public, the 2009 data also reflects an impact that economic conditions have played in the decrease in emissions from lower power production as well as the closing of three reporting facilities.  Statewide, TRI total on-site releases reported in Delaware for 2009 were lower by 44 percent compared to 2008. For 2009, reported on-site releases totaled 5.31 million pounds, down from the 9.52 million pounds reported for 2008, and down 55 percent from the 11.86 million pounds reported for 1998. Economic factors may have contributed to over half of the reduction in on-site releases for 2009.  For additional information, please contact John Parker at (302) 739-9405 or visit: http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/News/Pages/Toxics_Release_Inventory_data_shows_continued_reduction_for_2009.aspx

DNREC, OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TO RECEIVE $27.5 MILLION TO RESTORE DELAWARE RIVER FROM 2004 ATHOS I OIL SPILL IMPACTS - State and federal natural resource agencies including Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) have reached a settlement of $27.5 million for ecological restoration of the Delaware River following an oil spill six years ago from the tanker Athos I.  DNREC, along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey will collectively receive the funds from the U.S. Coast Guard’s Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) to implement 10 restoration projects, including three in Delaware.  On November 26, 2004, the single-hulled tanker struck three submerged objects, including a large anchor, while preparing to dock in Paulsboro, N.J.  The anchor punctured the hull, spilling nearly 265,000 gallons of crude oil into the Delaware River.  The spill’s impact extended to more than 280 miles of the shoreline, affecting habitats, aquatic organisms, birds and other wildlife, as well as impairing recreational use of the river and its shores.  Under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) provisions of the federal Oil Pollution Act (OPA), state and federal natural resource agencies serve as natural resource trustees to evaluate the loss of resources due to a spill and to restore the habitat and resources to pre-spill conditions.  For additional information, please contact Robert Newsome at (302) 395-2600 or visit: http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/News/Pages/DNREC,_other_agencies_get_$27M_settlement_from_Athos_I_oil_spill.aspx
