A $1.2 million grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board has footed the bill to remove tons of construction rubble, trash and other hazards dumped over the years along the shoreline bluff of Candlestick Point State Recreation Area.
The wetlands here, like many areas along San Francisco Bay, became landfill. While landfills in the Bay Area often became residential developments, despite the instability of the land in this very active earthquake zone, the land here was intended as a Navy shipyard during WWII. That didn?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t happen, but Candlestick Park did in 1959. The stadium was home to the S.F. Giants until 2000 and is still home for the S.F. 49ers. Historic aside: The name ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Candlestick,?EUR??,,????'?????<? so goes one story, derives from the 19th century practice of burning abandoned sailing ships here. Viewed from a distance, the burning masts resembled lighted candlesticks.
Interior areas and the shoreline bluff became the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area.
Unfortunately, it also became a dumping ground.
The grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board has afforded not only removal of debris, but refurbishment of trails.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?This is a great tribute for Earth Day as we celebrate the restoration of one of San Francisco Bay?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s scenic treasures,?EUR??,,????'?????<? said Board Member Carole Migden.
