Dear Sir/ Madam:
In September 2001, the New York City Department and Environmental Protection
(NYC DEP) and the Department of Health (NYC DOH) advised building owners
regarding building maintenance and re-occupancy issues following the collapse of
the World Trade Center. The steps included the professional assessment of building
contamination for possible hazardous components, including asbestos, and a
retrospective filing, as required, if applicable.
The NYC DEP is hereby requesting copies of the environmental hazard assessments
including bulk sample results and air monitoring results and a summary of clean-up
activities at the above referenced site. Please forward the requested documents to
our offices within FIVE BusrNEss DAYS. They may be faxed to (718) 595-3744 or
sent to the NYC DEP Asbestos Control Program at 59-17 Junction Boulevard, 8`h
floor, Corona, New York 11373-5108.
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 upon this matter.
If you have any questions, you may reach the Department at (718) 595-3682 during
office hours or the 24-hour Help Center at (718) DEP-HELP. DEP staff is available
to provide guidance and technical assistance.
Sincerely,
R. Radhakrishnan, P.E.
Director
