February 25, 2002
Mr. Radhakrishnan City Of New York Department of Environmental Protection Asbestos Control Program 59-17 Junction Boulevard Cornona, NY 11373-5108
Dear Mr. Radhakrishnan,
In response to the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York initiated a professional assessment of building contamination for possible hazardous components, including asbestos, in both 44 Maiden Lane and 95 Maiden Lane facilities. Bulk sample and air monitoring testing was performed by Law Engineering and Environmental Services prior to re-occupancy of the buildings and again on October 30, 2001 in response to concerns that smoke or dust emitting from the World Trade Center recovery site may be entering our facilities.
Law tested for levels of PCB's, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, selenium, silver, total volatile organic compounds, and total dust in various areas of our facilities. Copies of these test results are attached. The levels found were below the recommended Occupational Safety and Health Association and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health exposure limits.
In addition to the above testing the Bank installed 1 inch fiber glass filters, 75% Honey comb gas absorbing charcoal filters, and 95% bag filters on all HVAC intake fan systems in both facilities to improve the overall air quality for building occupants. Both buildings were professionally cleaned, including the roof and all setbacks.
