Hunters Point re-testing plan doesn't include toxic areas 'tested' by firm at center of scandal

[NCTraveler]

Navy’s insistence that two areas, including former shipyard’s most toxic site, are free from fraud scandal contradicted by records, whistleblowers

Two areas of the former Navy shipyard at Hunters Point have so far not been included in plans to re-test the heavily polluted EPA Superfund site, on the basis that a disgraced contractor at the center of a widening fraud scandal at the site’s $1.1 billion cleanup did not perform work there.

However, public records show that Tetra Tech EC—one of the many subsidiaries of Tetra Tech, Inc., a company paid $300 million by the Navy to remove toxic pollution, including radioactive material, from the shipyard in order to prepare it for redevelopment—did do work in both areas.

Between 2005 and 2007, Tetra Tech EC was the lead contractor assigned to remove radioactive and chemical contamination from an area called “Parcel E-2,” where the Navy dumped waste during almost 40 years of shipyard operations.
