600 TERMINAL AVE

The nine-acre Halby Chemical Site is located in an industrialized section of Wilmington’s port area. The major source of contamination on the site comes from a chemical production facility which operated from 1948 to 1980. The facility had two abandoned buildings housing equipment and chemical storage. Wastewater from sulfur-based compounds were released into lagoons on site and then chemical effluent flowed into a tidal marsh leading to the Lobdell Canal and eventually into the Christina River located a half mile east of the site. The wastewater contaminated the lagoon, the marsh sediments, the subsurface soil and the underlying groundwater. Eden Park, a residential community, is located about one-quarter mile west of the site, and about 2,500 people live within one mile. Residents receive potable water supplies from the Artesian Water Company, which draws water from supply wells located several miles away.
