First Response
first Response personnel Fawzy and Haas made entry with FDNY and ESU into a new
un charita'cd area in the xmdiwca coiiidor below (be trade center. DEF provided real
time monitoring for vital support gases in the environment and took air and water samples
for fiirther analysis. Investigation of the stability of the sluny wall was performed by
engineers. Dep took samples of water intrusion to detennine if it is possibly from the
river. Additionally, air and water samples were taken to check for R22refrigefaftt. An
attempt was made by rafts to try to get through a flooded area to the freon tanks to assess
there condition but was uDi isful because of debri in the pathway.
The daily ground zero monitoring for dangerous gases showed normal background levels.
Future Progress
DERTA has surveyed other areas inside die perimeter in an effort to target potential sites
to be opened. DERTA does not believe that it will be possible to clear any other areas
because of the close proximity to ground zero. Major work at ground zero would have to
be completed before we could reassess the feasibility of opening another area.
