11368-5107 Dear Sir/Madam:
In September 2001, the New York City Department of Environmental
Joel A. Miele Sr., P.E. Protection (NYCDEP) and the Department of Health (NYCDOH) advised
Commissioner building owners regarding building maintenance and re-occupancy issues
following the collapse of the World Trade Center. The steps included the
assessment of building contamination for possible hazardous components,
including asbestos.
Recently, a visual survey of your building's exterior was conducted as a
follow up to DEP's October survey of buildings around the World Trade
Center site. At the above referenced site, visible dust accumulations were
observed at: ❑ building facade(s)
❑ setback(s)
roof
❑ other,
Please be advised building owners are responsible for the cleaning of
building exteriors, grounds and common areas. Due to changing conditions
and continued activity at Ground Zero, building owners should periodically
assess the condition of building exteriors and air conditioning systems for
cleanliness and may have to periodically re-clean areas. Adherence to
proper cleaning methods is important for the protection of public health and
the environment. DEP inspectors will be following up on this matter.
Please provide information regarding your actions to address the dust
accumulations by February 27, 2002. Copies of the environmental hazard
assessments including bulk sample results, air monitoring results and/or a
summary of clean-up activities at the above-referenced site may be faxed to
(718) 595-3744 or sent to the NYCDEP Asbestos Control Program at 59-17
Junction Boulevard, 8th floor, Corona, New York 11373-5108.
If you have any questions, you may reach the NYCDEP at (718) 595-3682
during office hours or the 24-hour Help Center at (718) DEP-HELP.
NYCDEP staff is available to provide guidance and technical assistance.
