Machine-extracted title · confidence 95%
A project proposal outlining the timeline, methods, and justification for cleaning HVAC systems in residential units affected by World Trade Center dust.
2. Cleaning of Debris-Laden Unoccupied, Uncleaned Buildings
Program: NYC will clean the remaining unoccupied (residential and commercial),
uncleaned buildings near the WTC site that contain WTC-debris. NYC will work with
building owners to determine reasons that these buildings have not been cleaned yet. If
building owners are not able to expeditiously clean their property, NYC will proceed.
3. 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.
