This bill defines “crusher” and requires that any crusher have a mandatory set back from residences and residential communities. A crusher is often used to reduce the size of waste concrete for disposal or recycling. The process of crushing concrete results in the release of air contaminants, which can include toxic dust, produces contaminants that can pollute the water supply, and can cause noise and vibrations that negatively impact the well-being of the general public. The setback requirement created by this bill puts some distance between the general public and the negative environmental impacts caused by this industrial process.

An Act To Amend Title 7 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Environmental Control.

Sen. David McBride [D]

Rep. James Johnson [D]
