Statement:  The Five-Year Review report for the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard (HPNS), released on August 6, recommended that the Navy evaluate the soil radiological remedial goals. Today, the Navy is releasing its evaluation for review and comment by stakeholders.

Under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) process, remedial goals for each parcel at HPNS are set forth in the Records of Decision (RODs) for each CERCLA site.

The Navy evaluated the remedial goals for soil to ensure they are protective using its preferred method, RESRAD, as well as the PRG Calculator. These evaluations estimated the maximum radiation dose and the risk to residents from exposures to potentially contaminated Hunters Point soils. The Navy found that the radiological remedial goals for soils achieve the CERCLA protectiveness standard and are protective for future land uses. 

The evaluation of radiological remedial goals for soils is available at this link: Draft Evaluation of Soil Radiological Remedial Goals.

Any questions or comments should be submitted Mr. Derek Robinson, derek.j.robinson1@navy.mil.
