THE DAILY KERNEL

Late in 2007 thousands of cubic yards of waste from former Army operations were hauled away from two remediation sites, just south of the Golden Gate Bridge. A landslide develops after the cleanup is complete and prevents the reopening of Baker Beach for public use near the area of potential landslide. This video explores the cleanup sites and takes a look at the landslide at the end of April 2008.

Back in February, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Land Use and Economic Development Committee held a hearing on the lead and pesticide contamination at Mountain Lake on the Presidio of San Francisco.  The cleanup is stalemated between responsible agencies including the Presidio Trust, the Army and most notably, Caltrans.  In this segment Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier makes her introductory remarks about the situation and the reason for the hearing.
