Navy's response to Tetra Tech's announcement that it will pay for an independent party to retest for radiological contamination at the Hunters Point Shipyard?

02 May 2018

Statement: Independent retesting is a critical element of the Navy's Hunters Point reevaluation workplan. Its purpose is not to exonerate the contractors involved, but to offer a comprehensive, credible data set to reassure the community about their safety, determine the extent of any remediation activities needed, and complete the cleanup of HPNS. We are in receipt of a letter from Tetra Tech and will be evaluating the appropriate course of action to support the success of the Hunters Point cleanup program and ensure the safety of the Hunters Point community.
