Bac
keround
The DEP with assistance 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 various amounts of debris with various dispersal patterns
at the building exteriors. Tie
majority of buildings had isolated areas of debris specifically at the
perimeter of the roofs, at the base of
parapet walls, and in gutters. Debris was also visible at
horizontal surfaces on some of the building
facades. For some 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 roofs. 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 material maybe ACM and shall be cleaned by
and NYSDOL certified workers. NYS DOL licensed contractors with DEP
