“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.”

(Page 1 of 2) 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.

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
