ORAL REPORTS 4-A. Oral report from Member Matarrese, Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) representative - Highlights of December 3 Alameda Point RAB Meeting. Member Matarrese discussed the highlights of the December 7 RAB meeting, including that he received a preliminary report from Derek Robinson of the Navy stating that the large object in the Sea Plane Lagoon is a concrete block with pier material, not hazardous waste. Member Matarrese requested that the ARRA write a letter to the Navy to remove the concrete block. Member deHaan asked if radiation was found on that piece. Member Matarrese replied that it is unknown and a primary reason why it should be removed. Member Matarrese also discussed that the Navy wants to leave the radium contaminated sewer line in place under building 400, stating that removing it would cause the structure to be unsound. Member Matarrese, along with RAB members insist that the sewer line has to be removed. Another important point discussed was that the University of Florida and Purdue University received a large DOD grant to conduct remediation development studies; this grant represents several hundreds of thousands of dollars and put Alameda Point remediation on the map. Chair Johnson agreed that the ARRA send a letter to the Navy regarding the two key items: concrete block removal, and contaminated sewer line removal. Vice Chair deHaan discussed looking at the option of filling the area in order to bring back the shoreline. Chair Johnson and Member Matarrese agreed, stating that if the Seaplane Lagoon is eventually going to be a Marina, and boating activities will be taking place there, it needs to be cleared out.
