Mtg; Dust Suppression at WTC site, 12/3/01, 3PM
Attending: DDC, DOH, OEM, DEP
Summary: DOH Assnt Commissioner Kelly McKenny stated that he was not comfortable
with opening up additional areas around ground zero unless dust suppression could be
improved. DDC indicated that they thought dust suppression was effective. DOH and DEP
agreed that the current dust suppression efforts were considerably better now than they were
during the early stages of the rescue/recovery efforts. However, DOH reiterated that in order to
shrink the red zone further would require even better dust suppression. DOH / DDC also stated
that they have not seen any recent air monitoring results for several parameters and would like to
get them from DEC and EPA.
The meeting concluded with DDC stating that they will review enhanced dust suppression
recommendations made by Bectel (the Health and Safety organization that developed the original
Site Health and Safety Plan) and get back to DOH on their findings.
No time was set for a follow-up meeting.
Paul.

Subject: FDNY/DDC Meeting - December 3, 2001
Paul Bennett asked me to send this E-mail.
Today I attended the DDC / FDNY Operational meeting at the WTC. The following issues
arose:
I
NYS DEC stated they are issuing violations to idling trucks at the site and will continue to
issue violations.
DDC again reminded their contractors to improve dust suppression. Paul wanted me to
mention there will be a meeting regarding dust suppression today at 3 p.m. at Pier 92, which
he will attend.
DDC announced that the US EPA will hold a meeting to brief the contractors on
environmental issues tomorrow @10 a.m. at 3 World Financial Center, 26th Floor. City
agencies are welcome to attend. Please let Paul Bennett know if you plan to have someone
attend the meeting.
