President-elect Joe Biden this Thursday selected Michael S. Regan to serve as Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Regan is a North Carolina regulator who made his name pursuing cleanups of industrial toxins and helping low-income and minority communities hit hardest by pollution. Regan led the negotiations in North Carolina that resulted in the cleanup of the Cape Fear River, which has been contaminated by PFAS industrial compounds from a chemical plant, and negotiated what North Carolina says was the largest cleanup agreement for toxic coal ash, with Duke Energy. Regan previously spent almost a decade at the EPA, including managing a national program for air pollution issues.

Lockheed Martin set to perform state-ordered cleanup of toxic substances in San Diego Bay [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
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 mercu

Harbor Park, a $47.5 million coastal attraction that includes 25 acres of public beach and park land in the South Bay, is now on track to break ground in 2023.
Tuesday, Port of San Diego commissioners unanimously approved a coastal development permit for the park. It is a central public-access and tourist-drawing component of the reimagined shoreline crafted in what’s known as the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan.
The action sets in motion a park development timeline tied to construction of the Gaylord Pacific Resort Hotel and Convention Center. It is expected to parallel, in part, construction of a $12 million sister park known as Sweetwater Park. Together, the two public outdoor venues constitute 46 acres of new or improved waterfront park space for locals and visitors.
