One of the companies hired to monitor the air in East Palestine, Ohio, after last month’s train derailment that unleashed a fiery plume of toxic chemicals into the environment is linked to the alleged falsification of soil samples in San Francisco’s Hunters Point Shipyard.
The shipyard’s redevelopment, one of the largest in San Francisco’s history, has taken decades to remediate, and toxic chemicals continue to be unearthed. “The Navy has not tested every inch of soil in the shipyard, nor is there any plan to do so,” a civil grand jury report noted last year. “It’s to be expected that additional dangerous materials lurk underground where the Navy didn’t look.”
Those who have lived through Tetra Tech’s involvement in the shipyard remain dubious about the company’s claims that the air in East Palestine is clean. Zeltzer noted that Norfolk Southern and Tetra Tech Inc. share two major shareholders, Blackrock and Vanguard. “They're going to make money off this thing,"said Zeltzer. “They're making money off two companies helping destroy the climate and covering up the destruction of the climate.”
That same year, the Justice Department joined a lawsuit against Tetra Tech EC, alleging the firm misrepresented the source of soil samples it submitted for testing and that it had falsified data from surveys of existing buildings. Shortly before, two Tetra Tech supervisors, Stephen C. Rolfe and Justin E. Hubbard, pleaded guilty to falsifying records and were sentenced to eight months in prison.
