owners are not able to expeditiously clean their property, NYC will proceed.
Status ofRequestfor FEMA mission assignment: Andy Alper’s letter was good on the economics . However, because this is indoor, you need a connection which addresses the inside. Need to show exterior impact/economic impact. Is there a risk or nuisance. Took an e-mail last time from Jane Kenny. (Exterior building cleanup) Must identify the vehicle for enforcement for them. Debris removal to be eligible under their regs, it must be necessary “to eliminate immediate threat to lives, public health, and safety.”
5. Clean Up of Exteriors of Buildings with Residual Debris/Dust
Objective: To eliminate remaining debris/dust resulting from the WTC collapse on building exteriors in Lower Manhattan thereby assuring this material will not become re-entrained in the air at a future time, thus creating a potential exposure to the public. Program: NYC DEP will contract for the cleaning of the exteriors of approximately 250 buildings in Lower Manhattan. EPA, NYCDEP and OSHA will oversee contractors. Projected Cost: NYC $10.28 Million Project Period: April 2002 through November 2002 Status ofRequestfor FEMA mission assignment: They believe the issues of funding, etc. are resolved and are expecting us to proceed immediately.
6. Identification and Inspection of HVAC Systems in Lower Manhattan.
Objective: Evaluate whether further actions are required for central, recirculating HVAC systems in residential buildings in Lower Manhattan which may have been impacted by the debris/dust from the WTC building collapse. Program: NYC will retain a consultant to identify central, recirculating HVAC systems in residential buildings in Lower Manhattan which may have been impacted by the debris/dust from the WTC building collapse for assessment and/or inspection and to develop any needed recommendations for further actions. Projected Cost: To be determined. Waiting for more information from us. We are investigating practicality of idea and costs with ASHRAE, the professional organization for air conditioning engineers. FEMA would entertain this, but has put it to the side until we have a better handle on feasiblity.
Longterm 1. Sampling to Determine Background Levels of Potential Contaminants: Status; This is part of the Interagency agreement, Brad is expecting it back in a day or two from Washington.
2. Data system—They have asked this to be included in the testing and cleaning. (First one) for review and it will share its fate.
