The city’s commitment to proceed with a less-intensive development plan than the one proposed by former Alameda Point developer SunCal could face a major hurdle: The amount of development now being contemplated for the former Naval Air Station may not pencil out financially.

In November 2009, CLE analyzed the lagoons and identified both metals and pesticides in the sediment.

If all goes as planned the dredged material will be transported to the Northwest Territories on Alameda Point. City staff and the lagoon's homeowners' association prefer the Point because the dredged material can be transported to the site more cost effectively by way of a pipeline, rather than by trucks or barges.

This month may be the moment of truth for six Bay Area communities. Each one is vying to be the new home of a high-profile national research center. But when it comes to development in the Bay Area, there are no easy answers.

Oakland, Alameda, and Berkeley, Emeryville, Albany, and Richmond are the six cities in the running for what you might call the 2012 Cadillac of Bay Area Development Projects: A new, second campus for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Excerpt:

The projected rise in sea levels over the coming decades due to climate change has prompted officials with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to express concern that locating a second campus at Alameda Point could make it vulnerable to flooding. Alameda officials, however, say they are confident the site they offer will be safe.

The cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland and Richmond, as well as Golden Gate Fields -- which spans Berkeley and Albany -- are all under consideration for the new campus.
