Property Highlights

The purpose of this investigation was to characterize post-removal environmental conditions of the remaining portions of the Site, designated as OU-2. All the available data for the site was collected in 2007 or prior. Much of it was representative of the site pre-removal action. The available documentation does not demonstrate that the fill used at the site was tested prior to placement at the site. Former Use: The Site operated as a full-scale salvage operation from 1949 until 1992. Activities included the removal of salvageable metals from automobiles, appliances, batteries, empty compressed gas cylinders, empty drums, and tanks. The salvage operation used torches or machinery. The most commonly salvaged materials were aluminum, copper, iron, and lead. Salvage operations ceased in 1992 and the Site has remained vacant since that time. Prior to 1949, users and/or owners of the Property included the Brandywine Lumber Company, Delaware Electric Supply Co., Delaware Oil Products Inc., Pierce, Ellison Petroleum Company, and Diamond State Junk Company. The City of Wilmington proposes to redevelop the Site for a mix of recreational, commercial, and residential use. Green buffers will be implemented along the shoreline for flood risk mitigation.
