Perform surveys of areas that were being excavated for treatment for chemical contamination. Reporter wadsworth says his surveys found significant amounts of radiation throughout the island. In your professional opinion, should people be living the at Treasure Island . No. Reporter can you explain why . Well, just from these pictures that youve shown me here, youve got a significant contamination levels.

This year the navy identified it on this map as being radiologically impacted. Wadsworth says its an example of the navys reluctance to reveal the nature and extent of radiation on Treasure Island. Do you feel the navy has acti actively tried to cover up this information . I really dont have a way of knowing what theyre doing, but certainly it does appear that way. The information that we get from the navy is all denial saying everything is fine and nothing to worry about. And we havent found anything that is of alarming at this point.

There isnt evidence of radiological materials being buried where people are currently living. Reporter Treasure Island director, bob beck. How would you characterize how straightforward the navy has been with residents in informing them about the radiation here on Treasure Island . I think theyve been extremely straightforward in informing both tida and the residents. Reporter is there any radiation near the buildings where the folks are being asked to move out . Forward your question to me and ill be happy to answer your questions but not right now. Reporter we requested an interview with a navy corpsman, but his office said he wasnt available. Youre interrupting the introduction of the meeting. Reporter the meeting doesnt start for another 15 minutes, sir. Thats not true. The official part of the agenda starts at 7 00. Reporter uhhuh.

I said thank you. 1,000 peoples lives out here. Reporter its been a frustrating ordeal for the 2,800 people who live and work on Treasure Island. Whose voices have grown louder as more information surfaces contradicting the navys claims about the contamination. So you come here and tell us what you want us to hear. But i think you need to go back to whoever it was and let them know that Treasure Island is no longer buying it. Reporter contractor Don Wadsworth says six years into his work at Treasure Island, he has this assessment. My job is to protect people from the environment. And so its just not getting done. Reporter the navy provided a Statement Today reaffirming it is working with regulators to, quote, investigate and clean up contaminated areas on Treasure Island and that the state, city and navy do not have any data indicating a risk to human health to current ten thats.

The Oakland City Council got wind of the idea and tried to pass an emergency ordinance requiring all new crematoriums to go through an environmental review.

You know, and theres some of my coworkers have also expressed if thats the case, they may have to either telecommute or find some other way to do their work. Reporter clark says the city never notified businesses in the industrial neighborhood beforehand about the project. If this goes across the street, thats something that obviously our competitors can come and say that this is damaging to our product. Reporter environmentalists say the crematorium would add pollution to nearby east oakland neighborhoods already impacted by freeway traffic and industrial factories. But whether groups can stop the project from Going Forward now may already be a dead issue. Joe rosato jr. , nbc bay area news. Hundreds of people gathered at the National Cathedral in washington, d.

Text messages that get to your Friends Mobile device and then disappear. Our business and tech reporter scott budman takes a look at the new way to communicate. Reporter its the new style. When it comes to texting. Companies like instagram and snapchat and frankly let you deliver the message and have that message disappear. Because you never know. Theres always that one instance. Reporter that one instance is why frankly, a San Francisco startup, lets you send Text Messages and photos that will go away after ten seconds. They say it makes mobile communication more personal. I think when people are realizing is that, you know, theyve been living in an environment are facebook and instagram and twitter where you broadcast out and everything is out there for everybody. All the time. And everybodys critical in the world. And youre losing that sense of self. Theyre social networks in and of themselves. Reporter social in you can reach out to your friends instantly with your mobile device. But because the messages go away, you can be a little more free with what you show and tell. That i think sort of is the different lure of what was happening with social media, especially the way younger people are using social media where theyre broadcasting everything and obviously parents and others, job, people in the job market said maybe thats not a good idea. These are those types of things born from them. Reporter its still about sharing, but now with fewer people at a time. Scott budman, nbc bay area news. Yeah, my whole theory is that stuff sticks around forever. It will never disappear forever. Its somewhere there in the cloud. Somebody will get it. Somewhere out there in the cloud. Lets talk to jeff. Not a lot of cloud cover here. We are starting to clear out. Thats right, diane. Weve got junior meteorologists at the anchor desk. We do have haze tonight with the poor air quality. More on the air quality coming up. We are tracking rainfall to the north. See this thing is beginning to break up so theres no hope of getting any rainfall from that for us tonight. Lets take a look outside at the sky camera network. What youre going to notice is temperatures a lot more milder than we had on monday. In fact, we struggled to get to 50 for that daytime high on monday. And right now, we have that at 6 45 averaging low 40s in the north bay and for the south bay, 49 degrees. Thats where tomorrow morning could be the first morning in about ten days where well average at 7 00 a. M. Numbers in the low 40s. Then as we head throughout 1 00 p. M. , 56 degrees. And hold on, its going to get even a little bit warmer as we push through that afternoon for san jose. Take a look at our microclimate forecast for friday. See were going to top out at 62 degrees. Feel like the mid 60s if youre out in the sun. We do have clouds on here. Thats mainly to calculate for a little bit of that Morning Cloud cover by the afternoon. We should have those sunny skies. Palo alto at 60. Throughout San Francisco, temperatures hovering in the upper 50s. North bay, east bay and tri valley, lets not forget about you and get your temperatures in here. Well have 62 in santa rosa. 35 59, mill valley. 57 in fremont. Pleasanton, 60. Also livermore, 62. Overall pattern, poor air quality staying in the forecast throughout tomorrow. I do think at this point according to our air quality website, were fwoingoing to se at the poor levels throughout the next three days without any kind of major improvements in the forecast. The main reason why youre going to be able to see here. Not the cold front. Just wasnt Strong Enough to stir up the atmosphere. Its all about High Pressure building in off the pacific. Thats going to keep somewhat of a lid across the bay area. So all those pollutants will just stay trapped at the lower atmosphere. The other thing High Pressure is going to do is warm temperatures up. Lets go ahead and take a look at the portable recordsetting trend as we head throughout next week. See by saturday, not too warm. Low 60s. Sunday, there we go, we start to get it on simmer here with 69 degrees and potentially by monday, low 70s coming back into the mix. In fact, 70 degrees on monday for parts of the bay area. Could even bring us some recordsetting temperatures. As youre going to be able to see here in san jose and also livermore, right at about 70 degrees. The old record, 72 set back in 1958. So 40plus years sin it will have, this warm for this time of the year. And were going to wind things up here with a look at the saturday forecast. Sunny skies, temperatures in the low 60s here. Napa, 63. Livermore, 63. Sunday, that looks like the best day of the weekend. San jose, 67 degrees. Even at lake tahoe, recent snow up there. Temperatures will be in the mid 50s. They call that, what is it, ski bunny weather . Folks who love to wear the great outfits and ski in the sun. We dont want the snow to melt. Well, weve got Colder Weather next week.
