NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

O EPA (and DEP/DOH) has large CREDIBILITY gap with the public! Need public, TRANSPARENT process to ensure quality control and confidence in EPA and that work is being done properly. Must use nationally recognized experts and public hearings.

o Testing and remediation must be done on a building by building basis (i.e. all units, all common areas, roofe, HVAC systems, grounds, etc.). Otherwise, cross contamination and recontamination will occur rendering haphazard approach ineffective. Must address mixed use buildings.

o Schools (with children being more susceptible to hazards of toxins) MUST be included!

o Commercial spaces must be included.

O Private testing has revealed DANGEROUS levels of Mercury in residences around Ground Zero! Report being prepared on this.

O Current city and state efforts are completely inadequate (e.g. cleaning of roofs and facades): city and state don’t have resources or expertise to do the job properly! Only the EPA under CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan (NCP) does. DEP list of certified asbestos abatement contractors is NOT quality- controlled.

O EPA not in compliance with CERCLA and NCP. What is the status?

O Next Steps
