“ We are taking special care to ensure that we are doing our part to support a healthy , vibrant Bayview Hunters Point
( BVHP ) community ”
The SFPUC is committed to being a good neighbor and part of being a good neighbor means doing our part to support healthy communities . As we work to rebuild the workhorse of our sewer system , the Southeast Treatment Plant , we are taking care to ensure that we are doing our part to support a healthy , vibrant Bayview Hunters Point ( BVHP ) community . One way we are proving our commitment is by performing an Environmental Justice analysis that will examine the social , economic and environmental health of the BVHP community to better inform our ongoing work in the neighborhood . In 2015 , with input from our Citizen ’ s Advisory Committee and Southeast Working Group , we completed the first phase of the Environmental Justice analysis , the existing conditions report . In 2016 , continuing to work closely with our stakeholders , we will begin the second phase of the analysis , called the impact analysis .
