The Radon Disclosure form has been revised to remove the word "hazard." The intent of the disclosure is that the seller would disclose the presence of "any known radon" vs. "any known radon hazards." Please ensure your office is using the correct form:

Delaware Department of Transportation - Public Meeting
Learn more about the proposed Standards and Regulations for Subdivision Streets and State Highway Access. DelDot will hold an Informational Public Meeting on Tuesday, October 30, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the DelDOT Administration Building, Felton/Farmington Room, at 800 Bay Road, Dover.
The purpose of the meeting is to give the public a better understanding of why updated regulations are necessary, and to clearly spell out what the differences are between the old and new regulations. The regulations revise, update, and consolidate the Rules and Regulations for Subdivision Streets, enacted in December 1981, and the Standards and Regulations for Access to State Highways, enacted in August 1983. These regulations define the requirements which apply to:
- new subdivisions and land development;
- changed or expanded subdivisions and land development;
- any new access on to a State-maintained road;
- modifications to an existing access;
- assessment of the impacts of traffic; and
- off-site improvements.
Copies of the regulations are available upon request, or at www.deldot.gov. For further information contact Public Relations at 1-800-652-5600 (in DE) or 302-760-2080.
The Positive Growth Alliance urges all who interact with DelDOT to attend this meeting.
