In December of 2005 the EPA terminated THE WORLD TRADE CENTER EXPERT TECHNICAL REVIEW PANEL but we will still fight for cleanup, real cleanup, and continue to advocate for the federal government to meet the needs of all those affected by its disastrous response to the environmental threats that followed from the fall of the World Trade Center towers.

For some months now, the EPA has been suggesting it will release its final Test and Clean Plan, and begin to register eligible locations for participation. We're still waiting to seethe details...

 

And we expect demolition activity to be ongoing so if you see something suspicious, please let us know by writing to us at Demolitions@911ea.org
