In September 2001, the New York City Department of Environmental Joel A. Miele Sr., P.E. Protection (NYCDEP) and the Department of Health (NYCDOH) advised Commissioner building owners regarding building maintenance and re-occupancy issues following the collapse of the World Trade Center. The steps included the assessment of building contamination for possible hazardous components, including asbestos.

Recently, a visual survey of your building’s exterior was conducted as a follow up to DBF’s October survey of buildings around the World Trade Center site. At the above referenced site, visible dust accumulations were observed at: □□ building facade(s) setback(s) roof □ other, _________

Please be advised building owners are responsible for the cleaning of building exteriors, grounds and common areas. Due to changing conditions and continued activity at Ground Zero, building owners should periodically assess the condition of building exteriors and air conditioning systems for cleanliness and may have to periodically re-clean areas. Adherence to proper cleaning methods is important for the protection of public health and the environment. DEP inspectors will be following up on this matter.

Please provide information regarding your actions to address the dust accumulations by February 27, 2002. Copies of the environmental hazard assessments including bulk sample results, air monitoring results and/or a summary of clean-up activities at the above-referenced site may be faxed to (718) 595-3744 or sent to the NYCDEP Asbestos Control Program at 59-17 Junction Boulevard, 8* floor, Corona, New York 11373-5108.

If you have any questions, you may reach the NYCDEP at (718) 595-3682 during office hours or the 24-hour Help Center at (718) DEP-HELP. NYCDEP staff is available to provide guidance and technical assistance.

Sincerely,
