EPA says it will finalize proposal to improve oxygen in the Delaware River
“When finalized, this action will protect two species of endangered sturgeon and prove to be a boon for commercial and local fishing by also protecting American shad, striped bass and yellow perch,” Zeldin said in a statement.
In order to meet the oxygen levels outlined in the new standards, wastewater facilities would be forced to treat ammonia before discharging into the estuary.
The EPA’s announcement comes as welcome news to the Delaware Riverkeeper Network. The environmental group and scientists have for years urged the Delaware River Basin Commission, which oversees the region’s water quality, to increase its 1967 criteria for dissolved oxygen levels.
In 2022, the riverkeepers petitioned the federal government to step in and take action, which resulted in the EPA’s 2023 proposed standards. However, when the agency did not meet a deadline to finalize those standards, the riverkeepers filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday, the EPA notified the court of its intent to finalize the proposed water quality standards. The Delaware Riverkeeper Network’s Maya van Rossum said the move indicates the EPA is committed to issuing regulations that are “protective of the Delaware River and its aquatic life,” and that “protect sturgeon from extinction.”
Some water providers aren’t as thrilled with the announcement. In a statement on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Water Department said though it agrees water quality standards must be updated, the EPA’s proposal is “overly stringent, not developed with sound science, and could significantly increase PWD customer bills.”
The department said it hopes to work with the EPA on a rule that would improve water quality while also ensuring affordable water rates for customers.

Save the embarrassment. These expungement clinics may help with clearing a Delaware record
Speed enforcement camera now active near Lewes
It’s located at Pondview Drive on southbound Coastal Highway.
A criminal history, even one stemming from a juvenile arrest or a minor driving violation, can be a lifelong barrier to opportunity for many Delawareans. Whether or not a conviction occurred, a record can follow a person for years, showing up in background checks run by employers, landlords and loan officers.
An expungement offers a way to break that cycle. The legal process removes police and court records from public databases, allowing former defendants to move forward without being required to disclose past arrests or charges.
To help people navigate that process, several Delaware lawmakers and state agencies are hosting free expungement clinics this fall, offering one-on-one legal counseling to help eligible residents clear their records and reclaim new opportunities.
3 events planned across Delaware
Before the year ends, Delaware residents will have three opportunities to attend an expungement clinic where free, individual legal counseling will be available.
The events are organized in collaboration with the Office of Defense Services, the Delaware Criminal Justice Information System, or DELJIS, and the Delaware Department of Labor’s Advancement through Pardons and Expungement APEX Program. The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner has joined as a new sponsor this year and is contributing up to $5,000 to help cover expungement-related fees.
The sessions are open to individuals with Delaware criminal records. Services are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and advance registration is required.
Where and how to attend
The Middletown Expungement Clinic will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Whitehall Recreational Center in Sen. Nicole Poore’s district. Registration is available at bit.ly/48gnKto.
The Smyrna Expungement Clinic will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Duck Creek Regional Library in Sen. Kyra Hoffner’s district. Registration is available at bit.ly/3KaHOn3.
In Sussex County, the Office of Defense Services will host the Life Church Expungement Clinic from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 18 at The Life Church in Laurel. Registration is available at forms.gle/bACj1h1xouk452oz8. For more information, contact Maria Clark at the Office of Defense Services at 302-688-4560.
Organizers say the goal of these clinics is to help Delaware residents overcome the lasting effects of old criminal records and move toward greater economic and personal stability. They said, by removing barriers to employment and housing, expungements can help people reenter the workforce, support their families and participate fully in their communities.
