Re: Gymnasium Asbestos & Lead Testing
Dear Mr. Sullivan,
H. A. Bader Consultants, Inc. performed asbestos and lead testing in the
Gymnasium and adjacent south corridor at 199 Chambers Street on October
17, 2001. Asbestos sampling was also performed on the 6`' Floor and at the
Portable Classrooms on West Street. The sampling was performed by Howard
Bader, P.E. and Richard Massari of H. A. Bader Consultants.
H. A. Bader Consultants is licensed by the New York State Department of Labor
(DOL) as an Asbestos Consultant. Mr. Bader and Massari are New York City
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Certified Asbestos Investigators.
In addition, Mr. Bader and Massari are Certified by the DOL and United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hal. rd Emergency Response
Act (AHERA) Program as Asbestos Air Sampling Technicians, Inspectors,
Management Planners and Project Monitors. Mr. Bader has been trained and
certified as a Lead Inspector and Risk Assessor by the New Jersey Department
of Health. New York State does not have certifications in this area at this time.
Several buildings at and adjacent to the World Trade Center Complex in lower
Manhattan were destroyed or severely damaged on or around September` 11,
2001. It is common knowledge that some of these buildings had asbestos
containing materials and possibly lead-based paint. A waste transfer operation
is occurring directly across the street (West Street) from the school building. It
is suspected that debris from the initial building damage and waste transfer
operation is potentially contaminating areas in lower Manhattan with asbestos
fibers and lead dust.
