Re: Periodic Asbestos & Lead Testing
Dear Mr. Sullivan,
H. A. Bader Consultants, Inc. performed asbestos and lead testing in various
areas at 199 Chambers Street on December 5, 2001. The sampling was
performed by Howard Bader, P.E. of H. A. Bader Consultants. This was
followup testing for similar surveys performed by H. A. Bader Consultants on
September 20 and 28, October 9 and 17 and November 8, 2001.
H. A. Bader Consultants is licensed by the New York State Department of Labor
(DOL) as an Asbestos Consultant. Mr. Bader is a New York City Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) Certified Asbestos Investigator. In addition,
Mr. Bader is Certified by the DOL and United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) Program as
an Asbestos Air Sampling Technician, Inspector, Management Planner and
Project Monitor. 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.
