Subject: Suspension of Radiological Unrestricted Release Recommendations
for selected sites at former Hunters Point Shipyard.

The California Department of Public Health, Environmental Management Branch
(CDPH-EMB) issues Radiological Unrestricted Release Recommendation(s) (RURRs)
for radiologicaliy impacted sites that have undergone remediation based on guidelines
of- California Code of Regulations Title17, Section 30256. CDPH-EMB completes a
review of the documentation submitted by the Department of Navy" (DON)
associated with the identification of radionuclide(s) of concern, their location and
remediation. CDPH-EMB requires that radiological ?nal status surveys are
conducted to demonstrate compliance with agreed upon release criteria. These
surveys must be technically defensible and contain an adequate amount of data of
sufficient quality that CDPH-EMB may make an appropriate recommendation.

DON has self-identi?ed significant challenges to radiological final status surveys at
some of the sites of the former Hunters Point Shipyard (HPS) located in San
Francisco, California. These radiological final status surveys were relied upon by
CDPH-EMB in order to concur with the for these sites. The parcels and
buildings affected by uncovering of new data are listed below.
