Page 4 Project Structure A large number of city, state, and federal agencies are involved in oversight and management of the WTC site cleanup and rebuilding. Given this fact and the variety of technical and operational issues that will need to be addressed as part of the WTC Emission Reduction project, project participants suggest a tiered management team be developed to oversee various aspects of the project. The project must be well organized and efficient in order to accomplish the project goals within the timeframe specified. Below, a structure for the project management team is proposed. It is comprised of six workgroups which will oe tasked with specific duties. These workgroups and their responsibilities are described below.

A. Management Committee: The project advisory committee will consist of decision makers from the major organizations involved in the project, including EPA, NYSDEC, New York City offices and agencies, primary WTC site contractors and NESCAUM.

Management Committee responsibilities: • Authority on project decisions. • Political outreach, at the City, State and Federal level. • Fiscal management and oversight. • Future planning.

B. Project Coordination: The project coordination team will directly manage the project with direction from the advisory committee.
