The meeting convened at 7:42 p.m. with Vice Chair deHaan presiding.
1. ROLL CALL
Present: Boardmember Lena Tam
Boardmember Frank Matarrese
Boardmember Marie Gilmore
Vice Chair Doug deHaan
Absent: Chair Beverly Johnson (arrived at 8:40 p.m.)
2. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
2 -A. Alameda Point Environmental Update — Presentation by the Navy and Regulatory
Agencies.
Vice Chair deHaan introduced Jennifer Ott, Deputy City Manager, to open the presentation. Ms.
Ott gave an overview on what will be presented: a summary of the environmental program, the
accomplishments that have been made to date, funds that have been expended by the Navy to
date, as well as some of the economic development impacts of the process. The presenters
were Derek Robinson of the Navy, Anna -Marie Cook of the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), and Dot Lofstrom of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).
After the presentation, the Board discussed key issues with the presenters.
Vice Chair deHaan commented on the long process and gave a brief background on the
remediation efforts. He thanked the community and past chairs for their continued support.
Member Tam expressed her appreciation for the update and the amount of work & effort that
goes into the clean up. She asked how the funds are controlled and administered, who they
flow through given the various jurisdictions involved (Le., is the funding centralized through the
BRAG and then through the other agencies) and how they are allocated through congressional
authorizations.
Derek Robinson explained that he will get clarification on the funding process and will report the
information back to Member Tam. He also clarified that the Navy's focus is not on recouping
the funds spent in the clean -up. Vice Chair deHaan discussed the change of philosophy
regarding the remediation of Alameda Point. He clarified that the clean -up was under the
complete control of the Navy, and that in 2000, the Navy allowed the developer to consider
privatized clean -up, and then it went back under the control of the Navy.
Member Matarrese asked for more clarification about the process after a parcel is determined to
be cleaned to the level at which it was assigned — how notification, information and
documentation is given to the next successor agency in order for them to continue the work. Dot
Lofstrom explained that there is an official administrative record that the Navy maintains and
information & documentation will always be in the Information Repository. In addition, there is
an informal repository that DTSC is maintaining through their Envirostore Database. There is a

certification process after a parcel has been cleaned. Ann Marie Cook of EPA further explained
this process: Once a site has reached a point where it is considered meeting the goals set for it
to be cleaned, the Navy prepares a `Remedial Action Completion Report' and the EPA, because
it is a Superfund site, is required to make the determination that all clean -up action necessary
has been completed. The Navy then drafts a Finding of Suitability report to transfer that
property.
Member Gilmore asked for the status of the transfer process of cleaned VA lands and whether
or not the Navy and the VA have reached a basic deal. Jennifer Ott explained that the transfer
is moving forward, but awaiting approval from the administration to move forward. She stated
that at this time, there are no details of a basic deal, but she will keep the Board updated on any
further developments.
Vice Chair deHaan asked about the status of remediation of the Seaplane Lagoon. Mr.
Robinson stated that they are currently in Stage 1, which includes removing large debris piles
on the north side, and that Stage 2 will include remediating soils from the outlet of the storm
drain systems. Construction activities will start in Sep. /Oct. 2010. Vice Chair deHaan also
asked about Site 2 wetlands. He was concerned that the estimated cost of clean -up for Site 2
was approximately $100 million. Mr. Robinson stated that number seems high, and is more
likely $20 million - but will get the correct information to report back to the Board.
There were three speakers: Jim Sweeney discussed the potential adaptive reuse of Building 5.
According to Ann Marie Cook, Building 5 is one million square feet, is 65 feet tall, and qualifies
as a historical building. She managed to secure funding from an EPA pilot program and they
are looking at costs associated with reusing portions of the building and demolishing other
portions. She will be able to provide an update in three months, with a final report in about
seven months.
Irene Dieter, speaking on behalf of community, expressed her concern about lack of information
and public relations to the community about all the remediation efforts and other activities
regarding Alameda Point. Ms. Ott reiterated that there are monthly RAB and ARRA meetings,
as well as notices on the City and Alameda Point websites.
The third speaker, Maria Hargrove, expressed concern about traffic and congestion in and out
of Alameda Point. Chair Johnson informed Ms. Hargrove that the Planning Board meeting on
Monday, May 10, will discuss traffic issues and present a plan.
Chair Johnson thanked all the presenters for coming together to coordinate this Special
Meeting, and for the important information they provided in their presentation. She reiterated to
the public how important the information provided by these agencies is in helping the community
understand all the activity and efforts in cleaning up Alameda Point.

Meeting was adjourned at 9:02 p.m. by Chair Johnson.

Memorandum
To: Honorable Chair and
Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority
From: Ann Marie Gallant
Interim Executive Director
Date: June 1, 2010
Re: Authorize Negotiation and Execution of a Sublease for Dreyfuss Capital
Partners, Building 29, at Alameda Point
BACKGROUND
The Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) governing Board approves
all Alameda Point subleases with a lease term greater than one year. The proposed
sublease for Dreyfuss Capital Partners is for five years.
DISCUSSION
Dreyfuss Capital Partners formerly occupied Building 113 at Alameda Point. In February
2008 the Navy informed the ARRA that they would be conducting screening and testing
in four buildings at Alameda Point and that those buildings are required to be empty for
these tests. Building 113 was one of those buildings.
Attachment A describes the business terms for the proposed sublease for Dreyfuss
Capital Partners in a portion of Building 29. The rent for Dreyfuss Capital Partners is
$29,184 annually, or $0.30 per sq. ft. in the first year. There is a 3% increase each
subsequent year. The building will continue to be used for light manufacturing,
fabrication, and general office. Additionally, Dreyfus Capital Partners has asked for a
Right of First Offer (ROFO) for the remaining space in Building 29. This will give
Dreyfuss Capital Partners the ability to meet or exceed any offer the ARRA would
receive to lease the remaining 8,703 square feet of Building 29. If Dreyfuss Capital
Partners does not respond to the offer presented to them, the ARRA would lease the
remaining space to whoever provided a viable offer to lease the remaining space.
Building 29 is in good condition.
In accordance with the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement between the ARRA and
SunCal Companies, this lease has been discussed with representatives from SunCal
Companies and has their concurrence.
BUDGET CONSIDERATION / FINANCIAL IMPACT
This lease will generate $29,184 in the first year. These funds will be retained by the
ARRA.

Alameda Point RAB Meeting on May 6, 2010
Highlights and Analysis
RAB members present: Dale Smith (Community Co- chair), George Humphreys, Joan Konrad,
Jean Sweeney, Jim Sweeney, and Michael John Torrey.
The RAB meeting was held at the Mastick Senior Center, immediately preceding an ARRA Board
meeting at the Center. At the ARRA Board meeting, the Navy, EPA, and DTSC delivered a formal
presentation on environmental remediation at Alameda Point. The RAB meeting's agenda was
shorter than usual.
Remediation and other field work in progress:
o The Navy is nearing completion of its removal and replacement of several radioactively
contaminated storm drain lines originating at Buildings 5 and 400, which discharge into
Seaplane Lagoon. This work must be completed before cleanup of contaminated
sediment in Seaplane Lagoon begins.
o Active subsurface groundwater treatment is complete at IR Sites 14 and 27, along the
Oakland Inner Harbor in Northwest Territories and just north of Pier 1, respectively.
Both sites are being monitored to verify treatment effectiveness.
o The air sparge /vapor extraction system to treat groundwater contaminated with
benzene and naphthalene at Alameda Point OU -5 and FISCA IR Site 2 is operating.
o The principal part of the petroleum- contaminated groundwater treatment operation
near the Atlantic Avenue entrance is completed. Later this summer, further
groundwater treatment will be conducted in a small area near Orion Street where
higher petroleum levels persist.
o The Navy is conducting pre - dredge sediment sampling of the Seaplane Lagoon in
preparation for its remediation. In conjunction with this sampling, sediment samples are
being collected near storm drain outfalls into Seaplane Lagoon and Oakland Inner
Harbor that drain the vicinity of Buildings 5 and 400. These samples are being analyzed
for radiological contamination to further evaluate the impacts of former operations in
these two buildings.
o Cleanup of soil and groundwater contaminated with copper at IR Site 28, the former
Todd Shipyard, near the ferry terminal on Oakland Inner Harbor, is being conducted
through the end of June.
Operable Unit 2B, Plume 4 -1 Treatability Study
Plume 4 -1 is a zone of groundwater contamination in OU -2B's IR Site 4, located between
Building 360 and the landscaped island at the east entrance to Alameda Point. A historic
railroad siding there is a probable source of the contaminant plume. The presentation reported

Alameda Point RAB Meeting, May 6, 2010
Highlights and Analysis
on initial results of one phase of the study: high resolution sampling using membrane interface
probes, a new technology, has improved our understanding of the location and shape of the
contaminant source zone. The treatability study will focus on this area. As noted in last month's
Highlights and Analysis, the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, or
SERDP —the DoD's environmental science and technology program, is conducting a field
research program on Plume 4 -1, which is the more northerly of the two primary groundwater
solvent plumes at OU -2B. In addition to providing valuable information for selecting and
designing the remediation approach for OU -2B's groundwater, this two -year research effort is
expected to advance the state of the art for the environmental cleanups everywhere.
