He will be developing a funding proposal I and seeks input from any interested task force members. 4. HPD has completed a survey of 2,264 buildings below Canal and is in the process of putting the information, including photos, into a database. J 5. I On the data front, Doug Williamson of PlanGraphics will me taking a new position, and\ I OEM will discuss with DOITT how to move our efforts forward. Doug, Vince Coluccio, V/ and the data group have a building blueprint map that is ready for environmental data. y,
6. ( OEM will look into the “eyesores” issue - who has the data of buildings close to the site that have not been cleaned? \ 7. EPA, ATSDR, and NYCDOH are seeking ten more buildings to include in the study^f background data. HPD will provide a list of 30 candidate buildings ■ by 26 April.

The Contaminants of Concern group will need to provide a list j of what is “bad enough” to warrant such action, and someone may need to be prepared J .
