NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

0 1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Health and Safety Plan (HASP) presents the practices and procedures that the Contractor shall implement and enforce during the deconstruction of the buildings located at 133-135 Greenwich/21-23 Thames Street in New York City (the Buildings). This HASP will be applicable to all persons entering the Buildings and to all persons working in and around the Buildings. The deconstruction of the Buildings will occur in two phases:

Phase I of the Deconstruction Project will occur while the work area is placed under negative pressure containment and includes the following general categories: (a) the general area cleanup of WTC dust and debris, (b) removal and disposal of installed porous and certain non-porous building materials and components, (c) cleaning and salvage of certain installed non-porous building equipment and components, (d) removal of building materials containing asbestos which were present in the Building prior to September 11th, 2001 (referred to herein as "ACBM"), primarily within the Building interior, (e) packaging of asbestos and other regulated waste at generation points, movement of containers to the decontamination unit and movement of decontaminated containers to waste loading using an exterior hoist or crane, and (f) cleaning of limited, exterior surfaces as necessary to facilitate the erection of the man hoist and the crane.

The proposed clean-up and abatement will be conducted so that the Building can be safely deconstructed in compliance with applicable law to allow for redevelopment of the site. This HASP covers the activities to be undertaken as part of Phase I; a separate HASP will address Phase II Deconstruction activities.

The Contractor be supported on this project by the Owner's Environmental shall

Consultant who will provide environmental testing, air sampling and asbestos project monitoring and serve the function of Environmental Consultant/Project Monitor.

1.1 BACKGROUND

The events of September 11, 2001, which caused the destruction of the WTC Towers generated massive debris and dust. While not physically damaged, some of this WTC dust entered into the 133-135 Greenwich/21-23 Thames Street Buildings. The Buildings had been partially reoccupied after September 11, 2001 following clearance of debris and unspecified cleaning to permit re-occupancy.

1.1.1 Environmental Characterization

The Owner contracted with Airtek Environmental to conduct AsbestosSurveys and General Building Characterization for the 133-135 Greenwich/21-23 Thames Street buildings. Due to the proximity of these buildings to the WTC, and the extensive environmental tests carried out at the adjacent 130 Liberty Street (Deutsche Bank) . Building, it is assumed for the purpose of this HASP that similar potentially contaminated WTC dust is present at this site. The settled dust in and on the Building may contain
