REQUIRING THE DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL TO CREATE A PRE-CONSTRUCTION DECOMMISSIONING BOND FOR WIND TURBINE COMPONENTS IN MARYLAND.

This Senate Joint Resolution asks the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to require irrevocable pre-construction decommissioning bonds be posted, developers commit to landfilling decommissioned turbine components in Maryland, and Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems be deployed for any offshore wind project with power transmission lines coming ashore in Delaware’s Coastal Zone as a condition of permit approval. Any permit issued without these terms will be automatically null and void.
