OCII hears community benefits compliance update; CDPH retests Parcel A and finds no major contaminants
Summary
OCII received the annual compliance update for Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point community benefits programs and heard that California Department of Public Health retesting of Parcel A1 found only one deck marker; staff expects final retest reports and will continue oversight of job-training and community builder compliance.
The commission received an informational update on compliance with community benefits commitments for the Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 1 and Phase 2 and Candlestick Point project areas covering October 2017 through June 2018.
Staff said the developer is demonstrating improvement in compliance overall but identified ongoing issues with job training and the community builder program that staff will continue to monitor. Commissioners requested that organizations managing community benefits (implementation committees or nonprofit grantees) appear at the next report to provide a balanced view of outcomes.
On environmental testing, staff reported that California Department of Public Health completed a retest of Parcel A1 and released weekly reports indicating that retesting found only a single deck marker and otherwise normal substances; staff expects a final report concluding work is complete on Parcel A1 and an early-next-year report on Parcel A2. OCII said it would continue to coordinate with the Navy and EPA as required and update the commission as more information becomes available.
Commissioners praised elements of the community benefits work but asked for clearer presentation materials and for the implementation committee or grantee organizations to attend future briefings.
