Re: Prelimtuery Report on the H&S Evaluetlou of the Fresh Kills Landfill Project Supporting the WTC Disaster Recovery

Dear Mr. Scotto:

On 27 September, 2001, representatives of Emilcott Associates, Inc. (Dale Wilson, CIS, Doug Ogden and Bruce Groves, CIH) conducted a walkthrough survey of the Fresh Kill Landfill operation supporting the WTC disaster. Emilcott was asked by the NYPD Detectives Endowment Association (DEA) to conducted a third party evaluation of the operation to identify issues that may impact the health and safety of the NYPD detectives working at the landfill. Emilcott recognizes thFt 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 in this operation to get the job done and to do the right thing. The cooperation displayed by Inspector Lvongo and the rest of the NYPD staff at the Fresh Kills Landfill was extraordinary.

The comments and recommendations summarized below and presented in the attached report and 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.
