NJ Removes Chemical, Reservoir Data From State Web Sites 
By Brian Krebs, Newsbytes, 10/29/2001
<a href="http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/171567.html">http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/171567.html>

New Jersey has decommissioned Web databases detailing the state's
reservoir system and hazardous chemical sites in an effort to keep the
information out of the hands of terrorists. 
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.
