NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
11. A Cleaning Checklist (to be developed by EPA) will be completed by the cleaning contractor
as tasks are completed to document the progress of the cleaning.
12. The cleaning contractor shall notify the monitoring contractor immediately upon completion
of the cleaning. The Monitoring Contractor will conduct a thorough visual inspection to verify
the absence of visible dust accumulations. If dust is observed the cleaning contractor will
reclean as necessary at no additional cost.
13. Air sampling shall be performed by the Monitoring Contractor after the area is free of dust
accumulations as determined by the Monitoring Contractor. The residence will be recleaned
and retested if the clean-up criteria of 0.0009 fibers/cc (PCME measured by TEM) is not
achieved or if determined necessary by EPA. This clean-up criterion may be reevaluated and
revised, if determined necessary based on field conditions and analytical limitations.
14. Any damage or loss that occurs during cleaning is the responsibility of the cleaning contractor.
The cleaning contractor is not responsible for damage or loss caused by the acts of third parties
not involved in the cleaning activities.
15. Residents may identify and tag certain furnishings (e.g. carpets and fabric covered furniture)
for disposal rather than cleaning. Disposal of residents’ personal property shall not occur
without prior written authorization by the owner.
16. Disposal of all wastes generated during the cleaning shall be the responsibility of the
contractor. All waste generated shall be treated as asbestos-containing material (ACM).
Transportation and disposal of generated waste shall be in compliance with all applicable rules
and regulations.
17. If mold, suspected ACM or peeling, flaking or chalking paint is observed in the work area,
the cleaning contractor shall immediately contact the Monitoring Contractor,
