My Mare Island, Vallejo, CA, 94592: Is It a Toxic Waste Hazard?

So move we did.

 

 

For personal reasons unrelated to whether there was toxic nuclear waste on Mare Island, I retired relatively shortly after we'd moved to Vallejo. In fact, I liked Mare Island just fine -- the commute was incomparably easier, and I felt like the Forest Service had "the run" of the place: we were in our own building, a prominent building high on a hill, unlike in San Francisco where the our Regional Office was just one of the federal workforces in a small office building built in the 1930's. Moreover, when employees came to the Regional Office from the national forests in California, they appreciated the lower costs and felt more at home on Mare Island than in downtown San Francisco.

 

 

 

 

It was only after I retired, and in fact over the last several years that I started being concerned about whether I'd been exposed to nuclear waste on the island; and then, a few days ago, I read a long article about hexavalent chromium that simply scared the bejabbers out of me.

 

 

There follows the entire text of "Hexavalent Chromium Genetic and Cancer Toxicity -- Information and Links".   I did not write it, but I have taken the liberty of correcting the author's grammar and deleting redundancies, always without changing the meaning.   It's absolutely chilling.
