Rig Decontamination
After meeting with the Commissioner’s Office and FEMA the following plan has been established for rig decontamination.

The decontamination of the 152 rigs from the first day of the WTC will begin within the next two weeks, with 10 rigs per week being serviced. All other rigs that were at the site after 9/11 will be tested for asbestos, thoroughly cleaned and detailed and deconned if necessary. There will also be ongoing air monitoring tests on fire apparatus to make sure that the asbestos is not airborne.

The vendor that has been chosen will follow decontamination guidelines established by the Department, which were approved by the UFA and UFOA. It is our understanding that once this operation is up and running the city may hire a second vendor in an effort to expedite the process.

We will keep you updated on the decontamination and testing as more information becomes available.
