The guiding principle for the Campus Bay redevelopment is the safety of the environment and the community. Before moving forward, the effects of more than a century of industrial manufacturing must be addressed.

CSV is working with the DTSC to meet all benchmarks in the environmental cleanup process. Recently, the team completed the cleanup of the wetlands located on the western portion of the Campus Bay property known as East Stege Marsh. The marsh and surrounding habitat area have been remediated to meet ecological and human health goals.

The next steps for turning Campus Bay into a resource for Richmond are a continued cleanup effort and the completion of key environmental documents required by the DTSC, including:

• Remedial Investigation (RI): The RI presents the results of extensive sampling and site investigations. This data are being used in the preparation of the Human Health Risk Assessment and Feasibility Study.
• Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA): The HHRA uses data generated in the development of the RI to evaluate potential risks to human health and establish cleanup goals. This process will guide cleanup options in the future.
• Feasibility Study (FS) and Remedial Action Plan (RAP): The FS outlines the various options available for cleanup work at the site and the RAP identifies the cleanup activities and strategies. The DTSC will review the remedial activities conducted at the property as well as future management approaches, ultimately issuing a final site certification.

These environmental processes are expected to continue through 2008.
