Department of Environmental Protection’s WTC Chronological History
• Initial response to Ground Zero by the Division of Emergency Response and Technical Assessment (Hazmat).
• DEP Hazmat took over first response activities in conjunction with the Fire Department who lost a significant number of Hazmat employees responding to the incident.
• DEP Hazmat performed entries into ground zero and beneath the World Trade Center. These confined space entries involved performing monitoring and assessment of atmospheric conditions at subsurface levels.
• On September 12, DEP began operating a network of outdoor (or “ambient”) fixed air monitors that have been used to date for monitoring asbestos levels. Air sampling activities included the outer boroughs through 10/12/01, and included in front of four schools in the vicinity of the WTC site.
• DEP worked daily with EPA, NYSDOH, NYSDEC and its sister agencies with respect to the clean-up activities and results of air sampling in and around ground zero.
• DEP established a 12-hour hotline on 9/12/01 to provide assistance to building owners, tenants, contractors, and consultants, through 11/12/01.
• DEP conducted site inspections and distributed clean-up protocols to building owners through October 2001.
• To date, DEP has conducted exterior inspections of almost 1,000 buildings, river to river. North to Reade Street.
• Asa result of complaints received by the agency, DEP has responded to 174 locations. In only one instance, has DEP ordered an asbestos abatement clean-up.
• To date, we have received over 120,000 indoor air samples from building owners in the affected area. Only 197 samples have been above the TEM level of VOs/mm^.
• In early April after numerous public hearings, including the February 11* hearing conducted by Senators Clinton and Lieberman, Commissioner Ward commenced negotiations with EPA to begin to formulate a comprehensive plan that would restore public confidence in Lower Manhattan.
• On Wednesday, May 14, 2002, EPA took the lead at a press conference to announce a comprehensive program developed with DEP and FEMA.
