The DEP with i ssistance from representatives of the NYS DOL and US EPA performed follow-up .site
visits at buildings in the vicinity of the World Trade Center. The visual assessments disclosed the
presence of vat ous amounts of debris with various dispersal patterns at the building exteriors. The
majority of buildings had isolated areas of debris spccifically at the perimeter of the roofs, at the base of
parapet walls, t-ad in gutters. Debris was also visible at horizontal surfaces on some of the building
facades. For soi tie buildings, building facades facing the street were cleaned while the facades at the rear
remained dirty.
The observed debris was characteristic of the debris from the impact of September 11, 2001. The debris
appears to have reformed into a dense mass (caked). During the DEP follow-up visits, samples of the
debris were collected from various roots. The uneven dispersal identified above was also evident in the
sample collection. Samples collected from various buildings indicated that some of the debris was
asbestos-containing material (ACM). Based on these results and the most stringent assessment and
evaluation, this : nterial may be ACM and shall be cleaned by NYS DOL licensed contractors with DEP
and NYSDOL o rrtified workers.
