How will cleanup work impact neighbors and the community?
PG&E is committed to protecting the health of the public, workers and the environment during the cleanup, and minimizing the impact of cleanup activities on the community. Similar to the dismantlement process, the cleanup involves the use of trucks to remove material from the site. Our goal is to minimize any inconvenience for neighbors and the community associated with truck traffic. In addition, PG&E is working with regulators, contractors and the community to continue the successful air monitoring program that has been in place since demolition work began.
What is the future use of the site?
PG&E’s focus is on cleaning up the property, and protecting human health and the environment. We will keep our promise to the community by cleaning up the site, and the future use of the property will be determined by others. The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency’s India Basin Shoreline Area Plan includes the former power plant property. To learn more visit:
