SAN FRANCISCO – A federal judge this week approved a settlement between housing developers and homeowners at the San Francisco Shipyard over allegations the homes — located at the site of a former naval shipyard — were built over toxic waste.
According to court documents, on Monday, U.S. District Judge James Donato approved the $6.3 million settlement between the homeowners and Lennar and FivePoint, despite objections from Tetra Tech. “As we celebrate this victory, we are mindful that the fight for our community continues. We are grateful for the thousands of community members who are litigating in order to hold Tetra Tech and others responsible,” plaintiff and Salvation Army Director of Homeless Initiatives and Community Development Theo Ellington said in a statement.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs said the settlement will be given to plaintiffs in payouts ranging from hundreds of dollars to tens of thousands.
