Protecting the Environment

• VX Nerve Gas Resolution: Margaret led the way in passing a resolution to urge the United States Army to not process nerve agent VX (hydrolysate) in the Delaware River in order to protect and preserve Delaware’s waterways. The United States Army is considering shipping nerve agent VX (hydrolysate) waste to a Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility in New Jersey which, after treating the waste VX (hydrolysate), would discharge the treated waste into the Delaware River.
• Responsible Solid Waste Disposal: Margaret sponsored a bill that  was passed to require public workshops to inform citizens about the proposed expansion of the Cherry Island Landfill by the Delaware Solid Waste Authority and Department of Natural Resources.
