Loretta O'Donnell, spokeswoman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, said the databases were pulled "temporarily, for security reasons." The move comes just days after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency removed from its site risk management plans that detail steps communities should take in the event of a chemical disaster. The U.S. EPA also is reviewing whether to keep its federal reading rooms open to the public. Such sites contain detailed analyses and maps of chemical hazard sites across the country, as well as documents detailing the potential off-site consequences of accidental chemical releases from industrial facilities. So far, the public has been able to read - but not remove or photocopy - a paper copy of the documents. But that, too, could change soon. "The events of Sept. 11, however, suggest the need for us to carefully review what information we make available to the public," the EPA said in a statement last week. An EPA spokesperson said the 50 federal reading rooms around the nation - which are operated by the Justice Department and the EPA on a by-appointment basis - have received no visitors since the Sept. 11 attacks. The EPA decision tracks similar precautions at the federal level. The U.S. Geological Survey recently removed water table and reservoir information from its Web site, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission last week removed from its sites studies detailing the impact of a jetliner on nuclear power plants. ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
