A recent inspection of the 114 Liberty Street apartments showed dust
that they are contaminated with characteristic wTC-related system.-
and debris, as are the common areas and the central HVAC
This contamination, if not properly addressed, could pose this' a risk
to the environment of Lower Manhattan. In order to remove
source of potential contamination, DEP has developed a scope ofa
work for the cleaning of the interior of 114 Liberty Street bythe
New York state-licensed asbestos abatement contractor. During air
cleaning work, a licensed monitoring contractor will collect
and bulk samples which will be analyzed for asbestos, lead,
dioxin, and other contaminants by a certified environmental
laboratory.
In light of the above, DEP wishes to go forward with thesoon process
of procuring the cleaning and monitoring contractors as as
possible. in order to expedite the process, we wish to utilize
the May 7, 2002 Declaration of Emergency, pursuant to which the
Exterior Building cleaning Program and the interior cleanup at
125 Cedar Street (next door to 114 Liberty) were conducted. As
the need for the cleanup at 114 Liberty arises from the same
events as these other cleaning operations, was requested by the
occupants from an early date, and was not physically possible
until the building was repaired, this is a logical and efficient
way to proceed.
Please feel free to contact me should you require any additional
information regarding this matter.,
