The latest environmental studies focusing on Operable Units (OUs) C, D and E help define the next steps needed to complete cleanup and are described in the DTSC fact sheet issued in January 2012.

Remaining areas within OUs C and D requiring remedial action are shaded pink and purple on the map at right, and OU-E is shaded green (ponds are blue). Based on results of remedial investigations and feasibility studies for the remaining areas, final cleanup plans will be proposed in a draft Remedial Action Plan expected to be available for public review in 2013.

Only about one-third of the former mill property requires additional work to prepare it for future reuse. Read more about the redevelopment process.
