Current HazMat Operations
9/13/01 3:00 p.m. Air Sampling in and around zone
Currently DEP’s HazMat Unit in conjunction with US EPA are using
HazMat Field Survey instruments to monitor for dr ises of chemicals that may
be emitted from the site. In addition, these instruments are monitoring for
explosive atmospheres in and around the site. This is standard HazMat
protocol for possible contaminated sites. Today is the first chance that
HazMat and US EPA were able to conduct this joint effort because the level of
particulates in the ambiant air has subsided. (Particulates skew the reading of
the instruments.)
