Diana, Bob,
FEMA management and FEMA's Office of General Counsel have reviewed the May 3.2002 letter from Commissioner
Ward. Based on a review of the lette." and the City’s concern over issuing three separate letters, FEMA would like to
pursue the following alternative;
o The City issued one letter that addresses the environmental, health and economic threat posed by' the debris on the
interiors of residential buildings. This letter should be signed by the Commissioners of DEP and DiloH and the Deputy
Mayor for Economic Development.
The letter should prbvide sufficient facts upon which the City based its conciusory statements regarding adverse
environmental, health and safety, ano economic 'mpacts caused by debris/matehal. In addition, the letter should identify
the adverse Impacts of the interior debris/materiai. FEMA would ii'ne :o review a draft copy of the letter to provide the City
with ary final thoughts or comments before it Is signed. The draft letter can be faxed to Emily Chacon at (212) 687-8987.
As you know, the letter and citations mentioned above are necessary to .support FEMA's S78M interior cleaning grant.
Brad Gair is pursuing a similar letter from the US EPA, If you have any questions about this approach please reel free to
contact Brad Gair at (646) 746-1888 or me at (847) 571-6403.
Thanks for you attention to this matter.
Regards.
