📣 Attention Richmond! Developers are proposing a dangerous carbon waste dumping scheme that would extend across the Bay Area, affecting communities and ecosystems along the way.

If you live in Richmond, help us urge the city to reject the proposed project and its infrastructure: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/urge-richmond-city-council-to-say-no-to-bay-area-carbon-dumping-scheme?source=direct_link&referrer=group-san-francisco-baykeeper

As the Richmond Shoreline Alliance has pointed out, a full cleanup of the United Heckathorn Superfund site is needed to resolve the problem at its source--and avoid compounding consequences later https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/05/cleanup-of-toxic-richmond-waterway-creates-divisions/

The United Heckathorn Superfund site in Richmond continues to house dangerous pollutants, including DDT, right along #SFBay shoreline. It's time to clean it up!

This Thursday, join us at EPA's latest community discussion on Zoom. The meeting will focus on the health & ecological risk assessments of the site.

We encourage all Richmond residents to join the meeting and put pressure on EPA officials to properly clean up the pollution!

Attention, Richmonders! The United Heckathorn Superfund site is a major source of pollutants contaminating #SFBay & the Richmond shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed.

The EPA is working on a plan to get the site cleaned up and is holding a series of meetings to raise awareness and hear community concerns.

The next meeting will be held on Zoom on Wednesday, 5/21 from 6:30-8:00pm. The discussion will focus on why the first cleanup was ineffective.

Attention #Richmond residents! A Superfund site known as #UnitedHeckathorn is a major source of DDT and other pollutants contaminating the Bay and shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

On 4/23 the #EPA will host a Zoom call to engage with the community where they will describe why the last cleanup failed and the plan to move forward.

Please bring your questions for EPA and state officials! https://usepa.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8SlhuBdVTZ-xuoEGnusbZA#/registration

Absolutely appalling report about possible radioactive dumping at the #AlbanyBulb, César Chávez Park, and other shoreline locations:
“The fact that DTSC has sat on these documents for 44 years — shameful doesn’t begin to describe it,” said Janet Johnson, co-chair of the Richmond Shoreline Alliance.

Across the SF Bay, and with a 1956 #ShellOil base map, is Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond.
