Statement: The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) surface scans of Parcel A-1 were completed on October 26, 2018, and the information collected confirms that the area was not used for work involving radiological materials.  The scan did not find any soil contamination or evidence of radiological activities.

Most importantly, the scan's extremely detailed and sensitive methodology reinforced the fact that Parcel A is safe. The lone historical Navy object found was a naval deck marker, which was buried under approximately 10 inches of soil, at the bottom of the hill on the north side of Parcel A-1, in an undeveloped and fenced area. This deck marker would not have resulted in a health or safety hazard to anyone who happened to be at  that spot previously. The Navy appreciates that CDPH undertook this effort.
