San Francisco Baykeeper<p>Attention <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Richmond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Richmond</span></a> residents! A Superfund site known as <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UnitedHeckathorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedHeckathorn</span></a> is a major source of DDT and other pollutants contaminating the Bay and shoreline.
