Asbestos Grounds Renovation of Air Force Base

For years, citizens of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, California have been looking forward to the conversion of Almaden Air Force Station, located on the heights of Mount Umunhum, into a park overlooking San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to the costs of asbestos, their wait will continue well into the foreseeable future.

Built in 1957 and in service until 1980, Almaden AFS was painted using lead-based paint and insulated with roll upon roll of asbestos insulation. As a result, the cost of demolishing the radar installation and support buildings has skyrocketed to $13 million.

Every year, Americans pay millions in asbestos removal and remediation. Tragically, thousands of victims with asbestos-related diseases pay with their lives, too.
