Navy goes ahead with controversial cleanup plan 

By Bill D'Agostino 

A planned Superfund cleanup of a Moffett Field marshland site that was
heavily criticized when the Navy released it last year was resubmitted
to the public last week, again harvesting much of the same criticisms
from environmental and local representatives. 

The plan would prevent future restoration of tidal flows to the marsh,
but environmentalists and local government representatives have said
they would like to see saltwater flows returned to the wetland. 

Located across Stevens Creek from Shoreline Park, the 150-acre marshland
(known as Site 25) is currently contaminated with PCBs, DDT and metals
such as lead and zinc.
