Letters from Leaders
Experts across the Bay have spoken out against this development. Read their concerns and urge the city council to heed their warnings.
Baykeeper "is alarmed by about the number of contaminants identified at the site by the Department of Toxic
Substance Control, including PCBs, PAHs, VOCs, Mercury, Arsenic, and sulfuric acid."—Cole Burchiel
Citizens for East Shoreline Parks "There is no disagreement from any jurisdiction that this site is highly dangerous to health... Over 100 chemicals of concern are present, many of
which are known as the “dirty dozen” that have been determined to cause cancer, reproductive
damage and other serious health problems."—Shirley Dean
Contamination and Groundwater expert for CESP "[T]he significantly
increased rate of sea level rise, as indicated in the most current estimates for sea level rise along the
California coast, raises serious issues about the adequacy of the proposed remediation of the Project
