The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has issued a permit to the Diamond State Port Corporation to continue corrective actions at the former Chemours Edgemoor industrial site.
Diamond State and Port of Wilmington operator Gulftainer are redeveloping the site as a container terminal.
The corrective actions are required under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
