M7.4 Blog about your local environmental services

Immediately opening up the website for California's Department of Public health, I saw an environmental health service it provided. It currently is assessing the radiation found in Hunter's Point Naval Yard, which is on EPA's superfund list. They are currently looking at 'Parcel A-1' for abnormal radiation readings. This parcel of land has already been cleared by the EPA with previous scans and tests. However, recent allegations regarding falsification of data around the land surrounding Parcel A1 has prompted CDPH to do additional testings.

Testing begin back in July for Parcel A1, and they post progress updates on the information found during their scans. Thus far, there have been no major findings that would endanger the residents in the area. Scans are ongoing and are expected to encompass the land surrounding Parcel A1.
