Re: Dormitory Authority of the State of New York State Environmental Quality
Review (SEQR) Lead Agency Request for the City University of New York
Borough of Manhattan Community College Fiterman Hall Decontamination and
Deconstruction Project, Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York
Dear Ms. Theodorellys:
The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) has received a
funding request from the City University of New York (CUNY) for the Borough of
Manhattan Community College (BMCC) Fiterman Hall Decontamination and
Deconstruction Project. For purposes of State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR),
the proposed action consists of DASNY's authorization of the expenditure of tax-exempt
bond proceeds from DASNY's CUNY Program. The tax-exempt bond proceeds will be
used to finance the proposed project, which consists of the development and
implementation of the Fiterman Hall Decontamination and Deconstruction Project on
behalf of CUNY. Fiterman Hall is a 16-story BMCC building that was irreparably
damaged on September 11, 2001, when 7 World Trade Center collapsed and struck its
south facade, leading to the partial collapse of Fiterman's southwest corner. Fiterman
Hall is located at 30 West Broadway, Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New
York.
More specifically, the proposed project involves the decontamination of the
interior and exterior of the building, removal and disposal of building contents, and
deconstruction of the approximately 377,000-gross-square-foot, steel-frame and concrete-
slab structure. All decontamination and deconstruction activities would be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of the proposed project's Decontamination and
Deconstruction Plan, which will be submitted to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) for review and approval prior to the commencement of
work.
