DNREC has suspended a Kent County company’s permit to collect and recycle construction and demolition waste.
Mike Davidson Enterprises, a resource recovery facility near Camden, is prohibited from accepting any solid waste, including recyclable materials, and ordered to take corrective steps to protect public health and the environment.
The permit suspension order cites 22 separate code violations and the company’s “continuing and flagrant non-compliance” with the permit and Delaware regulations. DNREC had previously issued a cease and desist order to the company.
DNREC is giving Mike Davidson Enterprises three months to make needed changes at its facility. If the changes are not made, DNREC could pursue fines of up to 10 thousand dollars a day for violations and label the facility a “chronic violator.” DNREC could also extend the period the company has to comply, if it shows a good faith effort to respond.
