Ten Delaware projects will receive a combined $348,777 in 2026 through the Community Environmental Project Fund, including two in Sussex County. The program aims to support pollution mitigation, environmental enhancement and new recreational opportunities.
A bill was signed this week that both increases fines for commercial pollution as well as contributions to remedy this pollution in the impacted communities.
The bill proposes sharply increased fines for chronic violations, including air pollution, hazardous waste dumping, nutrient runoff, and stream contamination.
