Matt, Please discuss the following important issue during your conference call this afternoon: To all agencies in the Environmental Sampling and Assessment Workgroup: As you know, there are numerous local, state and federal agencies involved in data collection. The Mayor's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is concerned about unilateral communication to the public on environmental issues. OEM has asked that all involved agencies coordinate their efforts and communicate to the public with one voice on air and water quality issues. The EPA is the lead agency for environmental assessment related to this disaster. It is charged with communicating to the public its interpretation of the results of all data collected. For this reason, all environmental data related to the WTO disaster should be transmitted to the Environmental Sampling and Assessment Workgroup. In addition, any agency that wishes to communicate recommendations to the public (based on data collected) should submit those recommendations to EPA through the Environmental Sampling and Assessment Workgroup for review and action. Please not hesitate to coiitact me with questions. Kelly R. McKinney PE Associate Commissioner New York City Department of Health OEM Emergency Operations Center, Pier 92 New York, New York 10019 (646)756-3063/ 3064 917)731-5593 cell 212)259-9820 fax email: [email protected]
