Delaware Toxics Reduction Program (DelTRiP) |
Major Steps to DelTRiP Implementation
Step 1 |
DelTRiP will identify contaminated sites in each state within the Basin using USEPA and state listings, including but not limited to Superfund listings (NPL and CERCLIS) and state brownfield and hazardous waste sites. Other listings, such as those developed by fire departments or building inspectors, or through municipal wastewater treatment plant trackdown programs also may be used to identify sites. |
Step 2 |
Sites identified from "other listings" will be referred to the appropriate Federal/state agencies for action. |
Step 3 |
DRBC will incorporate identified sites into GIS. |
Step 4 |
State and Federal agencies will quantify the PCB loads being released or that have the potential to be released from contaminated sites identified above. |
Step 5 |
DelTRiP will develop criteria to rank each site to determine its significance and to decide if it is to be prioritized for tracking and reporting. |
Step 6 |
DelTRiP will prioritize the contaminated sites that significantly contribute, or have the potential to significantly contribute, to the PCB load to the Basin. |
Step 7 |
DRBC will assemble status information for each prioritized site and track the remediation progress and other actions taken to reduce the releases to the Basin from the contaminated waste sites. |
Step 8 |
DRBC will publish an annual report detailing measurable reductions reported by the lead agencies and the status of implementation activities at each prioritized contaminated site, highlighting key milestones and accomplishments. |
