History (Meeker Slough)

Meeker Slough is an old mudflat channel along the Richmond Southeast Shoreline that became constrained from over 100 years of urban development starting in the late 1800s. Beginning in 1999, UC Berkeley began remediation work at the Richmond Field Station (RFS) to clean up legacy pollution from industrial activities that occurred prior to UC ownership of the land.
