Summary: 
The Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club requests that the State of Delaware reassess the fish consumption advisory for Dragon Run. The State of Delaware and the Environmental Protection Agency have known since 1996 that samples collected from Dragon Run indicate that fish consumed from this water body present a serious threat to human health. The State of Delaware has also known since at least 2006 that benzene levels in Dragon Run are at dangerous levels for the protection of health. The Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club implores the State of Delaware to take immediate actions for the protection of public health.
