Statement: After extensive consultations with EPA, the Navy has released its work plan for retesting Parcel G at the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. On June 20, the U.S. EPA approved a portion of the work plan, which details the collection and analyses methods for soil background samples. This is an important first step in the overall process that will ensure reliable evaluation of the site. The Navy plans to initiate this fieldwork in the next few weeks.

Over the next few months, the Navy will continue to work with the regulatory agencies regarding the rest of the work plan to begin the radiological retesting on Parcel G. Retesting will determine whether site conditions at Parcel G meet original cleanup objectives, ensuring the property is suitable for transfer to the City of San Francisco, or if additional excavation and sampling are required. The City has identified this property as a high-priority parcel for redevelopment.

Under its Parcel G work plan, the Navy will reevaluate areas where Tetra Tech EC did radiological work, which includes scanning and analyzing about 20,000 square meters of building surface areas and 6,900 soil samples. The retesting work will include multiple layers of Navy and regulatory agency oversight and an independent third-party contractor to monitor daily site operations.

The Navy remains confident in the design of its cleanup program and is committed to the safe cleanup and transfer of Hunters Point to the City of San Francisco.
