Statement: We are in receipt of a letter from Mayor Farrell and appreciate the chance to respond to his questions regarding the Navy's work at Hunters Point Shipyard. For many years, the Navy has worked closely with EPA, California Department of Public Health and Department of Toxic Substances Control to achieve our common goal of environmental cleanup that is protective of human health and the environment. As we reinforced at Monday's Board of Supervisors hearing, the Navy and EPA have confirmed that the Hunters Point Shipyard and areas surrounding the site are safe.
