Conservation Projects

NCCD was charged with restoring numerous dikes along the Delaware Bay. This highlights both the Army Creek and Gambacorta Dike which were badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy.

A restoration project for the Delaware City tide gate. 

After a collapsed drain pipe caused a sink hole in the parking lot of Bull's Eye Bar and Restaurant, NCCD  repaired and replaced the old infrastructure. 

This project's goals included restoring a degraded wetland, protecting an African-Union cemetery, and the creation of a pedestrian/bike path and bridge along the Branch Canal in Delaware City. 

NCCD was honored to receive a plaque of appreciation from the Westminster Civic Association for our work in rebuilding the Chelthenham Bridge. 

This project worked to alleviate water draining concerns for homeowners living on Sycamore Ave in Elsmere.

To prevent rising tides from flooding historic Port Penn, 150 tons worth of sandbags plus additional coverings were used to repair the heavily eroded, existing dike.

In Edgemoor Gardens located in northeast Wilmington, NCCD worked to improve the existing storm-water system.

This project is working to address community-wide drainage and storm water concerns in the Simonds Garden community located between New Castle and Wilmington.
