Editing Hunters Point Naval Shipyard (section)

===BRAC, remediation of environmental contamination, 1994===
in 1994, the Navy closed the shipyard and base as part of the next round of [[Base Realignment and Closure]] recommendations. Besides [[radioactive contamination]], Hunter's Point had a succession of coal- and oil-fired power generation facilities which left a legacy of pollution, both from smokestack effluvium and leftover byproducts that were dumped in the vicinity. The BRAC program has managed the majority of the site's numerous pollution remediation projects.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bracpmo.navy.mil/basepage.aspx?baseid=45&state=California&name=hps | title=Former Naval Shipyard Hunters Point | work=BRAC Program Management Office | publisher=Department of the Navy | access-date=14 May 2011 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110119102707/http://www.bracpmo.navy.mil/basepage.aspx?baseid=45&state=California&name=hps | archive-date=19 January 2011 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>
