Ke: Preliminary Report on the H&S Evaluation of tlic Fresh Kills Landfill Project Supporting the WTC Disaster Recovery

Dear Mr. Scotto:

On 27 September, 2001, representatives of Eniilcott Associates, Inc. (Dale Wilson, CIH, Doug Ogden and Bruce Gl oves, CIH) conducted a walkthrough survey of the Fresh Kill Landfill operation supporting the WTC disaster. Emilcolt was asked by ths NYPD Detectives Endowment Association (DEA) to conducted a third party evaluation of the operation to identify issues that may impact the health and safely of the NYPD detectives working at the landfill. Emilcott recognizes that this is an emergency operation responding to a horrific disaster where many lives have been lost. Overall, we were highly impressed and humbled by the energy and willingness of all personnel involved io this operation to get the job done and to do the right thing. The cooperation displayed by Inspector Luongo and the rest of the NYPD staff at (he Fresh Kills Landfill was extraordinary.

The comments and recommendations summarized below and presented in the attached report end photos, focus on items that need immediate attention in order to make the greatest improvements to the health and safety program of NYPD personnel working at this operation.

The summary of our findings is as follows:

• There is evidence and data showing that the WTC debris contains asbestos and as such creates an inhalation exposure potential to NYPD personnel working on this site. • Health and safety on this site is continually evolving. Additional program elements are required to provide the generally accepted standard of care. • No organization is coordinating the overall H&S activities, strategy and information for this site. As such, information that may be useful for one group is not being shared.
