NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

Similar observations were reported in an October 6, 2001, report funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, which discussed worker safety issues at the WTC. The report noted that:

If this quote is not deleted we recommend that a footnote be added.)

However, certain requirements for transporting debris from the site were suspended by the Governor of New York on October 9, 2001. Executive Order No. 113.29 temporarily suspended regulations regarding the transportation and handling of certain solid waste resulting from the WTC disaster. The order applied to persons working at the site under the supervision of New York State or New York City government officials and suspended requirements for these persons to:

City officials state that starting on September 12; 2001 there was a requirement that dumptrucks be covered and this requirement was enforced by City and State officials. Furthermore, the term decontamination in the quotation is incorrect. Wet down rather than decontamination was conducted. This was not a hazardous material situation and decontamination procedures were not required.
