DNREC Announces Closure of the Records Pond Tidal Pier

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) has announced the closure and removal of the Records Pond tidal pier in Laurel. The pier, located on Broad Creek just downstream of the Records Pond spillway, had its floating docks heavily damaged after heavy rains. Massive outflow from the dam caused the floating dock to become partially submerged and break away from the pier. The floating dock has been secured and will be removed as soon as water flows have subsided.
