It’s one of the largest redevelopment efforts ever undertaken in San Francisco: The Hunters Point Naval Shipyard is slated to get 12,000 new housing units as well as office and commercial space.

Now, a newly released EPA review reveals that the Navy understated the scope of cleanup and that some of the soil samples may have been falsified by contractors.
