Smyrna’s New Truck Stop Electrification ProjectDNREC - P. Wheeler, DAQ Long distance truck drivers will be pleasantly surprised to see that the truck parking lot at the Smyrna Rest Area has a whole new look and function. The project was just completed as an American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA), or Stimulus Act, funded improvement in Delaware. Twenty-four spaces now provide heating and air conditioning, as well as Internet service to truckers, who no longer have to idle their engines for this comfort service during their rest period. This is known as a truck stop electrification facility. READ MORE

GREEN DELAWAREANS |
DNREC Public Affairs
The Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village was the setting for Stewardship Week designation and presentation of the Governor’s Agricultural and Urban Conservation Awards. DNREC Deputy Secretary David Small led a ceremony recognizing the awardees and read the proclamation signed by the Governor officially designating April 24 through May 1 as Stewardship Week in Delaware.
“Stewardship requires personal and social responsibility including a duty to understand and improve natural resources as we use them wisely, leaving a rich and sustainable legacy for future generations,” said Mr. Small. The six winners honored were nominated by Delaware’s conservation districts for taking the responsibility to heart and translating it into actions that will help build that legacy.
This year’s Conservation Award winners and their conservation efforts are:
NEW CASTLE
Agricultural Award - F. Thomas Unruh, Townsend
Urban Award - Springmill Maintenance Corporation, Middletown
KENT
Agricultural Award - Marshall Anthony Jr., Harrington
Urban Award - Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village, Dover
SUSSEX
Agricultural Award - William C. Otwell and William R. Otwell, Laurel
Urban Award - Bethany Blues Restaurant, Lewes
TIRE RECYCLING |
DNREC Public Affairs
The 5th annual Scrap Tire Drop-off Day, held last October at the Delaware State Fairgrounds, netted 31.5 tons of tires. More than 2,500 old passenger vehicle tires were collected that could have ended up in an unsightly, mosquito infested pile or left to take up valuable landfill space.
This event brought the total number of old tires collected throughout the State to nearly 10,000 since the program staged the first drop-off day two years ago.
For more information on the program and future scrap tire drop-off events, please visit: www.awm.delaware.gov/Info/Pages/ScrapTire.aspx or call 302-739-9403.
