Exterior Roll-up Doors: Coupled with the age and lack of maintenance, doors in various buildings are inoperative. Interior Doors: Deterioration to the door requires replacement in various buildings. These conditions noted by the Naval Engineers were common throughout the Project Area. These conditions were so severe that it renders the buildings unsafe and unhealthy for work and habitation. RSG, during its field survey, noted at least eight buildings had partially collapsed roofs due to lack of maintenance and age of structure. Many other structures exhibited deteriorated exterior building material, roofing, and doors. In total, over 50% of the 143 warehouses and transit sheds were noted to have damage to the door and framing due to a lack of maintenance, age and extensive wear and tear related to their previous use. RSG also noted that 29 of the 36 deteriorated and dilapidated buildings were vacant, and discussions with Port officials confirm that in their present condition, these 29 structures are unsafe for persons to live or work. The most common condition of deterioration noted during field survey is exterior peeling paint. As stated by the Naval Engineers' survey, most of the buildings' interior had lead-based paints, which is a well-documented health hazard for occupants that can render a building unfit for occupation. Exposure to lead can affect brain and nervous system development and cause learning disabilities and behavioral problems. Hazardous Material/ Contamination Serious hazardous materials problems affect several of the properties throughout the Project Area. The contaminations include radioactive waste, asbestos, lead-based paint, and groundwater and soil contamination. In addition, the presence of these toxic and dangerous materials prevents, or at best substantially hinders, the economically viable reuse or capacity of buildings and properties because of the extraordinary cost to correct or remediate these conditions to allow for the reuse of facilities or new development. Background According to the preliminary investigation for the Environmental Assessment, initiated by the Navy in 1980, the sources of contamination are a direct result of various military operations that occurred in the Project Area over a 45 year period, including: Contamination from former Landfill and Burn Dump Ground where waste oils, pesticides, chlorinated solvents and non-chlorinated solvents were disposed off.
