“Our aim is a safe and secure environment in lower Manhattan for the
millions of residents, workers and visitors who spend time there,” said FEMA
Director Joe M. Allbaugh. “Supporting the city’s efforts to reduce and eliminate
any possible harmful effects caused by the continued presence of this material is
FEMA’s goal.”

Under the Exterior Building Cleanup Program, building owners whose
properties have been identified as having World Trade Center debris are eligible
to have the debris removed by licensed asbestos contractors at no cost. To
date, more than 1,000 buildings in the downtown area have been inspected by
DEP specialists. Three quarters of the buildings inspected have shown no
evidence of debris. Of those upon which debris has been identified, 81 buildings
have been cleaned to date, and an additional 56 buildings are either in the
process of being cleaned or have been scheduled for future cleanup. Apart from
the DEP-FEMA program, 60 buildings have been cleaned independently by
building owners. A small number of buildings south of Canal Street remain to be
scheduled for cleanup.
People interested in more information about the Exterior Building Clean-up Program may
contact DEP at (718) DEP-HELP. This program is separate from the indoors residential clean-up
program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For information on
the indoor program, interested parties may call the EPA’s hotline at (877) 796-5471.

Subject: Aug 14th Meeting
Bob - Thanks again for coming to our meeting Tuesday. It was great to see
you, and I think this project is going to be great. I wanted to see if you
could reach out to the EPA for our Aug 14th meeting with the LMDC. I think
we should invite the EPA and see if they can come.
Thanks
