How can UC Berkeley be sure that the construction activities for the cleanup (digging and moving soil) aren putting people’s health at risk?

All work has been done under permits issued by several government agencies and with oversight by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Regional Board has reviewed and approved plans for cleanup activities to date and the DTSC will do so in the future. During remediation work, UC’s environmental consultants are on site providing assurance that the work is being performed in accordance with plans approved by the government oversight agency, and in such a manner that no one’s health — including that of any remediation worker — is jeopardized. There have been several layers of oversight during remediation, including three consulting firms, the environmental contractor, and UC Berkeley’s Office of Environment, Health & Safety.
