a bit of physics : the wavelength of 60 cycle per second electro-magnetic fields is 300000 meters per second ( the "speed" of light ) divided by 60 , that is , 5000 meters , a little over 3 miles .
Therefore , the maximum electical or magnetic gradient over even a 6 foot body , much less an internal organ , is quite small , even from a high voltage source . |

/17:30/ Manhattan Community Board No. 1
Meeting with Con Ed about work on Peck Slip SubStation
Gary Fagin / , Seaport cb 1 .
Tom Joyce , w be another meeting abt health @ Radio Mexico
; Parking passes for 250 water st pking lot -
20 to start for duration of construction .
/17:39/ was meeting in Oct . SubStn built 1977 , only partially utilized .
list of 25 Qs .
Health : EMF
/ Pat McCormack
Ed fogarty - chief engineer . how dif 24th st ?
24th St & 6th - new Chelsea network substation
1990 new electrical eq on roof . built wi space for 10 , only had 5
transformers . new substation 1993 by UN .
Chelsea slow continual growth . 2 substation in #7 WTC destroyed
400kkw capacity destroyed . could servive winter but not next summer
need additional 200,000kw .
Experts :
Frank Pasquelli internal construction mngr .
Walt Stepian - community & environment -
Dr Luciano - emf radiation .
Dr Linda Erdeich - exponent - healt effects of EMF .
epidemiologist - electricity around 75 years . `79 study - cancer
in children . Research dynamic - Recent WHO review internation al agency
for research in cancer : concluded were a "possible" carcinogin .
vs "probable" , "known" .
Now 46 M lab studies - can't even make animals get cancer .
Wherever in NYC ther are fields . 3miligauss fields .
Pickled Vegtables - clorinated water .
websites : nas , GB national radiological nrpd.org , NIH -
Now Physics : emf : computer model of 24th st station .
measured himself : SE corner in second floor inside
1.5 - 5 miligauss / Northeast - Admiral's gally j- fields 1-3.5 miligauss
geometry .
field decays very rapidly - accross street negligable compared to cables .
half a foot from wall 30 miligauss at points by wall along sidewalk .
typical walk in NYC : appliances may produce > 20
Will you do
People who want to have tests can raise Q themselves .
Shielding ? after get model , plan to do mitigating measures .
We'll come back in 2-3 months when studies done .
Magnetic fields fall off drastically .
Would reduce 30 * 2%3 /
Dover St residents most effected . Expect single digits w/o a doubt .
Building owner : agreement to take before & after readings in building .
NorthWest corner - pumps & stuff , transformer HV on south side .
Aud : 20 years ago suggestion made . so heading upward .
30K electical workers .
22 substations in manhattan .
CE criterion : aim to not add to existing field
falls off as 3 power .
Chair : want statement that ConEd absolutely committed to as safe as
possible .
Natali on Water St .
Current plan to construct station around old #7 WTC .
Leonard St 1951 14 xformers in res nbd . chain link fence .
Over head powerlines limit at edge of fiel 200Mgauss
swith gear goin in , Haas w be restored .
/ now Chair being real politan . Cost no matter .
Shield North wall - will north side of st
4-10 very typical .
/ issue / Fire ? of 400 transformers - avg age 32 yrs .
6 events in 8 yrs . small oil fire . 1990 unmanned .
not 24 /
In 1990 - relay protection cables set on fire . were cables
to activate fire protection circuit . now redundant .
Seaport enhancements . could we have switch gear burn again
Underground 1000s of them .
What are real fears ? ems , explo oil like 3in1 oil .
Like 1990 cables run . thru summer of 02 Downtown w only be
on 2 substations .
Need better communication w cb 1 .
Talks about time wasted .
JackHammering at midnight .
Have an enormous amnnt of work to do .
100 miles of condouit in 7 mi of tunnels .
DoT restrictions . It cost us more but we absolutely have to
get this done .
PaulGoldstein : have to cut off < 2300 .
clanking metal plates as big a problem .
Still have lot of trenching to do .
/1931/ Resolutions : committed to shielding N wall .
measure interior of residential building .
Set up cmttee of conEd , CB , DoT on noise .
set planning team on greater usage & safety .
Shield feeders as per 24th St .
