Excerpts from Notes of FEMA’s Interagency Meeting on Action to Address 9/11 Response Health and Medical Concerns
Proposed Mission Assignments for EPA: 1. Provide a chronological time line of all official air quality monitoring activities and findings relative to Ground Zero and the surrounding environs. Time line should begin on 9/11 and continue to present. 2. Identify all agencies and organizations involved in or that support (or could support) air quality monitoring, charting or mapping, what products or services they did or can provide and their defined responsibilities, both under the NCP and ESF-10. 3. Evaluate and identify all buildings that were affected by WTC dust/debris. Provide an estimated cleanup cost for each building, identify the buildings as public/private, establish a prioritization schedule (based on environmental factors alone), and develop recommended proposal.
