Attendance: (13) Mike, Lynne, Saul, Chris, Jesse, Olin, Marie, Don, Sandra, Keith, Willie, Julian, Maurice

 

Clean up Activities

Parcel B:

Explanation of Significant Determination (ESD) came out 12.14.01

Navy proposed changes:

-       Encapsulate 2000 feet of shoreline on Parcel B. The original plan was to excavate and haul away- Navy estimates saving of 5 million dollars

-       Navy wants to use soil vapor extraction (CVE) to clean soil under building #123 rather than dig and haul, Navy estimates 5 million dollar savings and building would not be demolished

CFC reaction to Navy’s proposal to putting concrete along shoreline is of concern about liquefaction and if contaminated soil gets into Bay and exposed.  CFC also concerned about fugitive emission from vapor recovery.

 

NEXT:

CFC 1.11.01 meeting will discuss more pro/cons of Navy’s proposed ESD

Folks want to review document; it is available at the Bayview library or ARC office

Comments due on 1.17.02

 

Shipyard Radiological Assessment Document: was to be released in Nov. ’01 and than Dec. ’01 has been delayed until February 2002.

 

Parcel E: Landfill

TetraTech is conducting the Navy’s data gaps work plan, which includes:

a.     rip-rap characterization( rocks around) around landfill-soil sampling will start 2.14.02

b.     defining the extent but not the contents of the landfill

c.     landfill gas monitoring using CA regulations will begin in 2 weeks

d.     liquefaction evaluation of landfill

e.     characterize small arms range ( lead)

f.      wetlands delineation- Tetra tech will determine if viable or not, if wetland is viable require more clean up

Landfill cap closeout report: Navy does not want to finalize report so the Navy can keep removal action open and extend cap.

 

NEXT:

  1. Tetra Tech should check-in with residents about wetland history
  2. Within two weeks next “data gaps” landfill report will be released
  3. Legal team check-in meeting within two weeks reviewing recent Navy plans
  4. Develop and Conduct EJ presentation for new Navy clean up team (Keith Foreman)
  5. ARC will send in close out report comments stating, “ Navy should not state TCRA actions are final, only that they met TCRA goals” Actions can only be final when Record of Decisions (RODs are signed)
  6. Technical Assistance Program proposal has been sent in to help support RAB members
  7. CFC needs to draft letter to new Navy clean up team, introduce CFC, and invite to CFC meeting

 

Base Clean up Team (BCT) Meetings

The BCT meets the first Tuesday of each month and comprises of the Navy, regulators, and more recently the City and ARC Ecology. These meetings provide a wealth of information and a level of detail that seldom ever reaches the RAB meetings. ARC acts as a ”fly-on-the-wall” and says very little at the meeting, but gathers great information for all of us.

 

NEXT:

CFC agreed to have ARC continue to attend

ARC agreed to report back BCT meeting notes the 1st Friday of the month at CFC

CFC wants to continue to formalize delegation in the next few months

 

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between Navy and City

The Navy is revisiting the MOA it signed with the City in November 2000, this past November the Navy met with City about transfer of the Shipyard and clean up.  On 1.09.02 the Navy and the City will be meeting again.  Early transfer is on the table for discussion.

Early transfer example: $300 million for clean up, Navy can guarantee 25 million in 2003, 25 million in 2004, but legally Navy cannot commit to future funding. On the flip side the Navy would be out the picture and City in control

 

NEXT:

  1. CFC gets hands on GOA report, which estimated clean up cost in the billions
  2. CFC will hold workshop on 1.18.02 from 12-5pm to review recent MOA developments and discuss other models (land trusts, insurance policies)
  3. Get City clean up numbers generated in year 2000
  4. Bring City to CFC meeting late January
