In the decades-long effort to clean up the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco, the end may be in sight.
On Thursday, the Navy and Environmental Protection Agency announced a plan to clean up contamination dating back to the Cold War. The project will focus on the shipyard's last parcel, F, that spans about 443 acres underwater.'We want to reduce the risk for animals and plants that live on the bay floor, fish and birds being exposed to contaminants such as PCBs , mercury and lead.
Arieann Harrison has also lived in Hunter's Point her whole life. She said she's been facing health complications.'I've come up positive for uranium...also elevated levels of manganese and rubidium. And lead and cobalt,' Harrison told CBS News Bay Area.Harrison said the problem stems from living so close to the shipyard. The 866-acre yard was home to the Naval Radiological Defense Lab from 1948 to 1960.
