March 2006: FDNY fades from the picture.

March 28, 2006    Second Site Visit of CH2MHILL on behalf of US EPA to 130 Liberty Street.  The visit itself is not as significant as who received and did not receive the email about the report of the visit. The following received email: US EPA, NYS DEC, NYS DOL, NYC DEP,  & NYC DOB.  Not receiving email of the report is FDNY.  By March 28, 2006, FDNY is out of the picture in terms of supervision of the project by regulators. Other agencies have jurisdiction including NYC DOB. FDNY is excluded or has excluded itself.  Captain Peter Bosco has yet to arrive at the Ten House.  The decision to exclude the FDNY or the decision of FDNY to exclude itself was made well above the rank of Captain of the local firehouse and well before Captain Bosco's arrival at the Ten House.

March 21, 2006    The initial site visit of CH2MHILL and EPA to 130 Liberty Street and the initial kickoff meeting. Bovis gives them iniitial safety training.  TRC contributes to their iniital safety training in regards to "general site rules and procedures".  FDNY is not present of the initial kickoff meeting or for the initial site inspection (Note:  EPA enters the picture and FDNY exits. Coincidence?) Click here.
