Dear Mr. Radhakrishnan:
This is in response to your February 12, 2002 request for information on environmental
assessments and cleanup activities at the building located at 77 Murray Street in
Manhattan. The building at this address is an unmanned power substation which is
owned and operated by New York City Transit.
While there was no assessment performed in the substation, NYCT did utilize the
September 12 bulk asbestos analytical results from ATC Associates.. The building was
cleaned by means of shoveling, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping of dust and debris
which resulted from the collapse of the World Trade Center. Furthermore, personal
protective equipment was utilized during the cleanup effort.
If there are any further questions regarding this issue, please contact me or Josephine
Brown, Manager, Environmental Protection, at 718-243-4581. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Charles Burrus, Dr. P.H., CIH
Director, Environmental Protection & Industrial Hygiene
Office of System Safety
