DuPont plan for waste site approved
By Associated Press

Delaware regulators have approved a DuPont plan to permanently seal in waste at site along the Delaware River rather than haul it away.

Some groups have called on the chemical giant to remove the waste from its Edge Moor pigment plant in east Wilmington. The company has said excavation and hauling would create more public exposure to the waste and increase costs.

The DuPont plan was approved Friday by DNREC and is still subject to appeal.
