Backeround
The DEP with assistance from representatives of the
visits at buildings in the vicinity of the World NYS DOL and US EPA perforated follow-up site
Trade Center. The visual assessments disclosed the
presence of various amounts of debris with various
dispersal patterns at the building exteriors. The
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
facades. For some buildings, building facades facing the horizontal surfaces on some of the building
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 may be ACM and shall be cleaned
by NYS DOL licensed contractors with DEP
and NYSDOL certified workers.
