Site History
The Site is located south of Interstate 580, east of the University of California Berkeley Richmond Field Station and along the San Francisco Bay shoreline. Historically, this site was divided into three main areas: the manufacturing plant area, the Western Research Center and the unimproved open space area. Stauffer Chemical Co., and later Zeneca Inc. manufactured sulfuric acid and pesticides at the site from the late 1800's until the late 1990's. Cherokee Simeon Ventures (CSV) purchased the 86 acre site from Zeneca Inc. in 2002 to develop the property. The property is divided into four areas, now known as Lots 1, 2, 3, and East Stege Marsh (also referred to as the “marsh” or habitat enhancement area). Lot 1 was developed into commercial space and is now known as the Campus Bay Business Park. Lots 2 and 3 are currently undeveloped and are zoned for light and heavy industry uses. Collectively, Lots 1, 2 and 3 generally make up what is known as the Upland area. East Stege Marsh is located between Lot 1 and San Francisco Bay and is currently undergoing habitat restoration. The San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) was the lead environmental agency overseeing the restoration and cleanup of the entire Zeneca Site. However, in November 2004, the environmental regulatory oversight of the Upland Area (Lots 1, 2 and 3) was transferred to DTSC and oversight of the marsh area was transferred in May 2005. The changes were made based upon the experience and expertise of each regulatory agency.
