NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

EPA took sampl~ of sediment to be dredged from the Hudson where barges will come in and carry away debris. Samples will be tested for tokicity, metals, pesticides, PCBs, P AHs, BTX and dioxms. Results will come in over the next 6 weeks. However, dredging at the lower Manhattan site and disposal at the Newark Bay Pit will be allowed immediately because the Pit is for material that fails ocean dumping criteria and cannot go to land facilities without treatment.

Ongoing acti,,ity~

EPA has supplied HEPA .tilter SL'PER.VAC vacuum trucks. These tnicks were used to vacuum the lobbies of federal buildings and to clean the financial district. Dust and other materials vacuumed will be kept in air tight containers and disposed of pn:>perly. They will b& available to address other areas, as needed.

EPA has now established 10 pennanent air monitoring stations in and around ground zero, including in the fuiancial ~trict. These monitors are taking samples in 12 hour intervals that are being tested for asbestos and other contaminants. ·

The city will be sampling from several water tanks located on the top of buildings. They have requested that we analyze these samples for U23S, asbestos and PCBs.

EPA is continuing collecting dust samples from the area.
