The Rockridge Community Planning Council is demanding that Shell Oil clean up the vacant lot at Claremont & College. Click here to read RCPC’s official opposition letter.
The Alameda County Department of Environmental Health is reviewing Shell’s request to close the case on their leaking storage tank. Because the site has no current plans for development, they want to get off the hook for remediating the soil. However, the City of Oakland has designated the vacant lot as a potential housing site in the 2023 Housing Element and the site is already zoned for mixed-use development.
Shell was the operator of the former gas station so they are responsible for the proper clean up.
Let’s hold them accountable as a neighborhood!
