Delaware’s environmental agency is notifying residents about upcoming maintenance work at the Delaware City refinery that may result in elevated sulfur dioxide levels in the surrounding air for roughly one month.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control announced that refinery operators have scheduled repair work that could cause temporary increases in sulfur dioxide emissions over approximately four weeks.
To keep the community informed during this period, DNREC is making air quality monitoring information publicly accessible. Residents can access real-time data on environmental releases and air quality conditions through the agency’s monitoring systems.
The department is also providing notification services and additional resources to help community members stay updated on air quality conditions while the refinery maintenance is underway.
