Re: Environmental Testing
Dear Mr. Pepe,
H. A. Bader Consultants, Inc. performed asbestos and lead testing throughout
125 Barclay Street on September 25, 2001. The sampling was performed by
Howard Bader, P.E. and Richard Massari of H. A. Bader Consultants.
H. A. Bader Consultants is licensed by the New York State Department of Labor
(DOL) as an Asbestos Consultant. Mr. Bader and Massari are New York City
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Certified Asbestos Investigators.
In addition, Mr. Bader and Massari are Certified by the DOL and United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response
Act (AHERA) Program as Asbestos Air Sampling Technicians, Inspectors,
Management Planners and Project Monitors. 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. It is suspected that debris
from the damaged buildings became airborne and potentially contaminated
areas in lower Manhattan with asbestos fibers and lead dust.
