AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority | 2010-05-06 | 2 | certification process after a parcel has been cleaned. Ann Marie Cook of EPA further explained this process: Once a site has reached a point where it is considered meeting the goals set for it to be cleaned, the Navy prepares a "Remedial Action Completion Report' and the EPA, because it is a Superfund site, is required to make the determination that all clean-up action necessary has been completed. The Navy then drafts a Finding of Suitability report to transfer that property. Member Gilmore asked for the status of the transfer process of cleaned VA lands and whether or not the Navy and the VA have reached a basic deal. Jennifer Ott explained that the transfer is moving forward, but awaiting approval from the administration to move forward. She stated that at this time, there are no details of a basic deal, but she will keep the Board updated on any further developments. Vice Chair deHaan asked about the status of remediation of the Seaplane Lagoon. Mr. Robinson stated that they are currently in Stage 1, which includes removing large debris piles on the north side, and that Stage 2 will include remediating soils from the outlet of the storm drain systems. Construction activities will start in Sep./Oct. 2010. Vice Chair deHaan also asked about Site 2 wetlands. He was concerned that the estimated cost of clean-up for Site 2 was approximately $100 million. Mr. Robinson stated that number seems high, and is more likely $20 million - but will get the correct information to report back to the Board. There were three speakers: Jim Sweeney discussed the potential adaptive reuse of Building 5. According to Ann Marie Cook, Building 5 is one million square feet, is 65 feet tall, and qualifies as a historical building. She managed to secure funding from an EPA pilot program and they are looking at costs associated with reusing portions of the building and demolishing other portions. She will be able to provide an update in three months, with a final report in about seven months. Irene Dieter, speaking on behalf of community, expressed her concern about lack of information and public relations to the community about all the remediation efforts and other activities regarding Alameda Point. Ms. Ott reiterated that there are monthly RAB and ARRA meetings, as well as notices on the City and Alameda Point websites. The third speaker, Maria Hargrove, expressed concern about traffic and congestion in and out of Alameda Point. Chair Johnson informed Ms. Hargrove that the Planning Board meeting on Monday, May 10, will discuss traffic issues and present a plan. Chair Johnson thanked all the presenters for coming together to coordinate this Special Meeting, and for the important information they provided in their presentation. She reiterated to the public how important the information provided by these agencies is in helping the community understand all the activity and efforts in cleaning up Alameda Point. 3. ADJOURNMENT Meeting was adjourned at 9:02 p.m. by Chair Johnson. Respectfully submitted, Jana Glidden Trma Glidden ARRA Secretary | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2010-05-06.pdf |
