Avaltroni, Robert To: Onek Matthew Subject: RE: FEMA Reimbursement

Matt,

Please find the revisions that for the most part address your issues.

I do not have the authority to speak to FEMA reimbursement. That is an issue that needs to go through 0MB and City Hall.

DRAFT

March 3, 2003

Ms. Kathleen Grimm Deputy Chancellor New York City Department of Education The Tweed Courthouse New York, New York 10007

Dear Deputy Chancellor Grimm:

After reviewing the letters of support from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the New York City Department of Health (NYCDOH), please be advised that we acquiesce to their recommendations regarding the carpet removal at New York City Department of Education schools impacted by the collapse of the World Trade Center.

USEPA and the NYCDOH have stated that the removal of carpet is a reasonable and proper action to eliminate concerns regarding potential contaminants in this porous material. The DEP concurs with this assessment.

According to our information, the environmental air sampling results at these schools indicated sampling and analysis was in accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requirements. Specifically, the results indicate the clearance and re-occupancy criteria set forth in AHERA (70 s/mm^) were met.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (718) 595-3721.
