i am here today to talk on behalf of the navy how the navy is proposing to remediate or clean up parcel e-2. to reiterate i have brought comment cards for the public so they can submit public comments. we do require written comments and they need to be postmarked by the 5th of november. what happens after the comment period, the document will tell what -- how we have decided to remediate the site and we will design it and monitor the site after we are done. but i will go into that a little more. where is parcel e-2? you will see that it is the southwern part of the shipyard including 48 acres of shoreline and lowland coastal area. ok. the history. e-2 was created between the early 1940's and late 1960's by filling in with various materials including soil, crushed bedrock, saidments, construction debris and trash and waste. i have a series of photos that show the progression of how this land was created. so you will see in this photo, you can see the 1935 shoreline at the top and what is most of now e-2 was bay. it was filled land. if you follow along to 155 it is more filled in. 1965, even
