Following extensive litigation and investigation, Lockheed Martin is expected to soon begin work on a state-ordered and court-mandated environmental remediation project meant to clean up a portion of San Diego Bay’s Harbor Island East Basin that was subject to decades of pollution.
Last week, Port of San Diego Commissioners voted unanimously to certify the project’s environmental impact report and to issue a coastal development permit for demolition work and sediment remediation.
The actions pave the way for the aerospace and defense firm to tear down its 54-year-old marine terminal building at 1160 Harbor Island Drive (across the street from the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina) early next year. Shortly thereafter it will remove and replace sand in the basin contaminated by cancer-causing polychlorinated biphenyls and mercury.
