Hangar One debate still alive

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials were expected to initiate a formal dispute process in the fight over the Navy's clean-up efforts at Hangar One on Moffett Field. Last Wednesday was the deadline for declaring a dispute.

The Navy released its plan to investigate toxic chemicals around the hangar in mid-January, but stirred up opposition by ignoring lead contamination and refusing to take responsibility for pollution inside the hangar. The interior contamination, which came from the 72-year-old hangar's building materials, is currently blocking plans for an ambitious aerospace museum and theme park at the site.
