This is near the location of DNREC'S Property that can be used for a mulsh site. Why use our Parkland at Delaire and Belvieu? May be whom ever owns this facility can work an agreement with the State " You" so Delaware saves money and the Owner make a little more !!!!!
This site is convienent to Wilmington, North Wilmington, Claymont and all of Shiply Road which runs right there as well as Marsh Road and is convienent to Talleyville????
Composting on Hay Road DNREC Location just ahead convient to more than Claymont!
Please: POST a Warning sign for Hazadorous Material, don't hide it any more!!
With this site completely open to the public on all sides, as well as no individual posted during hours of dumping at the very least, don't you recognize "What You Have Created" in a residential and parkland area??????????????????
Dump Closed, I can step over the Wire!
Saves me money, probably charges the same amount to customers
Finishing up dumping!
Dump Close, I had to pay before, now I make more money!
Commercial Dumping
What a Waste of a small Park!
Today DNREC dumping from 100's of acres of Belview Park at 2 acre Aquatic Center!
Unbelieval, Dems think They are In!!!
No Preparation for New Dump Site, No survelliance! Might Sec.of DNREC need Psychologiocal Help!
There are environmental things to do first. Like placing a barrier between the bottom of the Proposed Dump and the Residue that is coming. It is a barrier to prevent seepage. Their is a security with maned sites, or some form of fencing so individuals getting a free dump site don't come 24/7.There has nothing been done by the Secretary of DNREC, Whom, just at will, decided on the Belview Dump Site. Do you want an individual that cares so litle about North Wilmington's Health, that he is willing to give us toxic compost claiming we will love it. It will not be His Children that suffer the after effects.Why isn't the Insurance Businesses all over this, more medical treatment means more Costs to all taxpayers.
More Toxic Chems coming with Spring to UNSECURED former Park Land!!
For everyone that uses a chemical Company for that NICE GREEN Look. Have you seen those little signs marking where the application been done, well that is where the chemicals have been applied. These little flags carry a international warning, and the pitures of children, adults and animals, Don't come here, I'm hazadours to your health! Now this grass is being part of the Mulsh at our NEW DUMP. Take the Mulsh at your own risk!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then when that grass is cut those chemicals are going to become a large part of the 55,000 ton DUMP IN OUR BACK YARDS. That'S ONE MASS of Chemicals in one residential spot aqacent to Stoney Run Creek and on Parklands.!
Please don't let your children near this pile, unsecured as it is: Police CANNOT DO IT ALL /Watch Your Own CHILDREN!
From New Journal Articles: Some experts find hope in the fact that the high death rate cannot be traced to incidence. While the causes of cancer are nearly impossible to pinpoint and control, something can be done about late diagnosis and inadequate treatment. "If it was an incidence issue, what are we going to do about it?" said Patricia P. Hoge, former director of the American Cancer Society's Delaware chapter. "Stop breathing? Stop drinking water? Don't walk on our earth?"State officials repeatedly have studied how to reduce cancer deaths but have failed to act on key proposals by three cancer task forces. They said shortages of money and staff have prevented them from acting and from keeping the public informed of the most accurate cancer incidence rates. MULTIMEDIA Listen to Nellie Foster talk about losing her husband to lung cancer Dr. Robert W. Frelick, one of Delaware's foremost cancer experts for more than half a century, said he fears the latest task force report – put together in April 2002 for Gov. Ruth Ann Minner – could become another unfulfilled promise."We've been meeting and meeting, trying to get things done, and we keep finding the same problems. But there's no real push to do anything about it," he said. Minner said she is committed to making a difference. "It is something that will not happen overnight. That's part of the problem. That's why people in the past have not done it. You like to see fast results," she said. "It may take two or three years before we really see any change. But unless we start, we will never get there."
When it involves Water, toxins, pollution DNREC gets an F--
We in Delaire have an open AIR AUTO PAINTING SHOP! Mr DNREC IS THIS TOO OUR PROBLEM
For many reasons, children are likely to be more vulnerable than adults to the effects of environmental contaminants. To better understand the effects of these exposures on children's health, the Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research ("Children's Centers") were established to explore ways to reduce children's health risks from environmental factors. The program is jointly funded by EPA through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grants program, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) with additional expertise and low-cost laboratory services provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The long-range goals of the program include understanding how environmental factors affect children's health, and promoting translation of basic research findings into intervention and prevention methods to prevent adverse health outcomes. The program is designed to foster research collaborations among basic, clinical, and behavioral scientists with participation from local communities. Research Leading to Interventions Select to view larger navigable graphic. ResearchResearchers at the Children's Centers continue to publish significant research results. For example, researchers found that exposure to certain pesticides can be linked to small head circumference and low birthweight, and that Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is effective in reducing children's pesticide exposure.

Maybe that'ss why Secretary Hughes lives in Rehobeth, does he know something?
Do You Know what's in "YOUR DRINKING WATER?"
Soon following: What is that water, it looks clear, but is it?
The Water Resource Problems of Delaware which we have taken for granted!
From DNREC Public Files: Delaware has more than 2,509 miles of rivers and streams, and 2,954 acres of lakes and ponds that have been classified using the federal Clean Water Act's rating system of designated uses (such as drinking water supply, swimming, fishing, etc.). Delaware has promulgated surface water quality standards which are designed to protect the designated uses of each classified water body in the State. While Delaware's rivers and streams generally meet the standards for their designated uses, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) has found that 79% do not support the swimming use and 62% do not support the fish and wildlife uses. The major causes of non-attainment of designated uses of Delaware's water resources are high levels of pathogenic bacteria, nutrient over-enrichment, toxics, and degradation of physical stream habitat. The majority of the water quality standard violations are due to nonpoint source pollution impacts. Bacteria concentrations above the level considered acceptable for primary contact recreation are found in 79% of Delaware's rivers and streams, 40% of ponds and lakes and 16% of estuarine waters (excluding the Delaware River and Bay). Safe shellfish harvesting and consumption is also adversely impacted by high bacteria levels in many of Delaware's estuarine and tidal waters. Nutrient over-enrichment of Delaware's water bodies is due to soil erosion, failing septic systems, and nutrient losses from land application of manure and fertilizer. Lowered dissolved oxygen levels and nuisance plant growth result from excess nutrients in Delaware's waterbodies. Toxics, such as Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB's), dioxin, chlorinated benzenes and pesticides persist in the environment and accumulate in the flesh of fish. Several rivers and streams in Delaware, as well as the Delaware Bay, have fish consumption advisories due to toxics. Finally, physical habitat of 87% of Delaware's nontidal perennial streams is degraded due to several factors including increases in impervious surfaces as a result of urban land uses in the Piedmont, and stream channelization to improve drainage on agricultural lands in the Coastal Plain. Physically degraded stream habitats generally have decreased shade, less channel stability, and a reduction in runoff filtering vegetation. Results of degradation of physical stream habitat include reduced aquatic life diversity and violations of water quality standards for dissolved oxygen and temperature. Ground water in Delaware is impacted by nitrate contamination, particularly in the agricultural areas of Kent and Sussex counties. High nitrate levels in underground sources of drinking water are a potential health concern, as well as a source of nutrients to surface water. Synthetic organic compounds, such as cleaning solvents and degreasers have been detected in Delaware's gound water, primarily due to leaking underground strorage tanks, landfills, septic systems, chemical spills and leaks and abandoned hazardous waste sites. Elevated dissolved iron concentrations in well water and salt water intrusion are also ground water concerns for the State. The protection of the quality and quantity of the State's aquifers is a key concern, particularly given the fact that reliance on ground water for drinking water supplies has been increasing in Delaware.
Priority areas for overall water quality and quantity research and implementation in Delaware include: enhanced management and control of stormwater runoff, erosion and sediment, a better understanding of the sources, transport, fate and remediation of toxics, comprehensive management of agricultural nutrients and sources of pathogenic bacteria, increased understanding of the response of aquatic systems to specific pollutants, identification and protection of key aquifer recharge areas, better management of water supply and demand (including the financing of water supply infrastructures), treatment and disposal of on-site sewage, protection and restoration of wetlands and better understanding and prevention of saltwater intrusion to potable water supplies. Due to the development pressures in northern Delaware and the coastal resort areas, attention to these issues is essential to protect the State's water supply. RED CLAY CREEK AND THE WATER COMPANY FOR NORTH Wilmington gets its supply of water from Red Clays Body of water already polluted.
http://www.fw.delaware.gov/Fisheries/Pages/Advisories.aspxClick on: 2007 Fish Consumption Advisories Chart, it tells you what in the water!! Check out RED CLAY CREEK HERE: Qestion is if we cannot eat the fish from Red Clay Creek how can we dink the water? I cannot find any aeroiation of Red Clay Creek water before it is sand filtered and heavily clorinated. A simple Pool test kit can give you an idea of how much cloridation is in the Water. If you want a stunner, test after a Heay Rain. DNREC Web page dance around this major source of water for North Delawareans.
Artesian water is from deep wells so it is already hidden from every day Inviornmental Waste in the Air .
The best method for clean water is a system of reverse-osmosis.
Not perfect, but a any coffee maker like a Mr. C. boils the water making it go up and over dripping into bowl, without a filter and coffee grounds, the cooling water returns to the bowl cleaner than it has been.
News Journal February 16, 2008 Toxic Emmissions Rise Sharpley
Since 2006 Toxic Emmissions from local Industrial Plants JUMP Sharpley.
That the headlines: but we know Secretary Hughes Head of DNREC has been very busy.
He has been playing with Leaves and Trees and far away back yard neighborhoods!
News Journal reports Feb 18, 2008 Valero refinery still emitting air pollutants. Further goes on to state uneven recovery efforts continue to release......by Jeff Montgomery....
That sound like what's on our cars. What happens if you breathe it! Cancer, maybe other human systems attacked.
Progress has been made by the Dumpster/huggers - leaves have be rescued from Cherry Island Landfill. Creating another Dump! Progress??? Federal Government Tracking of Pollutants here: http://epa.gov/tri/tridata/tri06/index.htm
Delaire is left to the Sharks and Others Trash!
DELAIRE is selected to live with others trash. Divide the Voters, will it really work! "Delaire needs Active Representation, Delaire Needs to Be Known Again!!!
Are we too Republican or Independent thinkers - so we are being punished? Why a Dump Here! There must be a reason beside logical, which it is not.
BE "ONCE AGAIN" RECOGNIZED: WE breathe the pollutants from open door painting of cars at body shops, from Dupont's old plant, to Pa.'s Oil refining, POLLUTION WE SEE ON OUR CARS along with the sharp rise in toxins reported by News Journal since 2006 no less. While the unknowing running around to remove leaves from Cherry Island Dump, like Hug a Dumsters/ dumpster-huggers. When real issues are let Go! P. S. We don't need more pollution 250 away from our back yards. -------------------------------------------------------------
Toxic Effects from these Dump Sites just being studied but here's the Body System involved:
Better Picture of Old RR Quarry Bridge foundation, there are 8 or more
These carried the bridge to the wash/loading area of the quarry at Belview Commons. Remains of the Quarry extend to Philadelphia Pike, lots have been covered by Bulldozers
East Side of Of Philadelphia Pke. SEE FOR YOURSELF!
yOU CAN CLEARLY SEE A MAN-MADE WATER DIVERTING WATERWAY INTO THE OLD QUARRY!
We're Not Against Recycling, but there's a better spot owned by DNREC!
A much better site for this 55,000 tons of mulsh, trees, and garden waste is a site on Hay Road already owned by DNREC and just a Hop Away!
So whay destroy a beautiful Park Land????
Hay Road at 495 and Dupont Plant turn right 3 blocks of improved road, maintained by DELDOT, ALREADY OWNED AND AVAILAVLE FOR DNRE USE. This is an industrial area, zoned such, so why the dump in a residential/park.
Representation needed for N Wilm,
New 2-4 acre Compost Waste Dump has been an issue solidified in secret. That's why many of us and Residents along the Phila. Pike don't know anything about what is coming or even going on. I did not know until I had a personal visit to tell me this was in fact a Done Deal! Not that I am anybody, but what a degrading situation it is to have someone drop by a say you have no say!!!!!!!!
Warning of Users of these compust - mulch-sites: Leaves have a Mold that lives on there underside. This mold is toxic to other plant of all varieties. Once it gets a hold of the plant or other shrub you think your enriching, the plant will die slowly. Sudies due to health concers in areas surrounding these sites are being mounted now, due to the large amount of affects on the indocrine system surrounding these sites. This pertains not only to Plant and Animal life, but Children, Domestice Animals, Wildlife all which may visit these dump sites. Just as a precaution untill the full impact of these sites are known, keep pets away, children should not play or visit these sites. Please don't take your pet to one of these when you want to drop off waste. Only take fully composted dirt home with no remaining leaf residue!
There is thought to be leaching of toxins which spread to surrounding areas. ( Notice of the above was furnished by internet alerts from the EPA and others)
