The City of San Francisco has authorized a $97 million settlement related to a lawsuit involving the Hunters Point Shipyard. This settlement resolves allegations against a former Navy contractor that it falsified soil samples and faked data during a toxic cleanup of the site. The decision was made by the Board of Supervisors, which voted 7-3 in favor of the settlement. The agreement must still pass court and public review before it is finalized. This development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the cleanup efforts at the shipyard, which has faced accusations of fraudulent practices.
