Hunters Point Naval Shipyard

The Hunters Point Naval Shipyard spans 866 acres in the southeastern portion of the City and County of San Francisco, California. The site operated as a shipyard from 1939 to 1974 and housed the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory (NRDL) from 1946 to 1969. The Navy's activities contaminated Shipyard soil and groundwater, as well as surface water and sediment in the San Francisco Bay. Today, the Shipyard is the subject of cleanup and restoration requirements governed by federal law. Ongoing efforts include cleanup, operation and maintenance activities, and continuous monitoring.
