up activities. Site visits continue to be scheduled to verify the clean up activities reported to the Department.
The clean up of asbestos containing material (ACM) requires the submittal of an asbestos project notification form. The Department has inspected 100% of the reported projects at least once.
The DEP continues to respond to complaints regarding the presence of debris from the Lower Manhattan Air Quality Hotline and identifies areas of concern with building owners/managers.
What if the necessary clean up actions have not been taken by the building owner/manager? What if the building owner/manager of the adjacent buildings have not taken the necessary clean up actions?
Although many building owners have attempted to comply with the requirements, the DEP recognizes that some buildings continue to have exterior debris. Therefore, the city, state, and federal agencies will ensure that the debris is removed to maintain the ongoing improvement to air quality.
Based on the visual surveys and the most stringent assessment and evaluation, this material will be assumed to be ACM.
NYS DOL licensed asbestos contractors with DEP and NYSDOL certified workers will be scheduled to clean up of building roofs, setbacks, and/or building facades within the vicinity of the WTC. The scope of work was developed by the DEP, and will be monitored by the DEP and an independent third party air monitoring firm. The clean-up activities consist of collection of debris and wet cleaning/HEPA vacuiuning until the surfaces are clean of visible debris.
How will the clean up activities be coordinated?
All clean up activities will be coordinated with building owners/managers.
The DEP will provide oversight of all the clean up activities. USDOL OSHA will provide oversight for worker safety issues. The area identified above was sub-divided into three areas. Work in each area will be assigned to a NYS DOL licensed asbestos contractor with DEP and NYS DOL certified workers. Clean up activities will be scheduled simultaneously at five buildings in order to expedite the clean up activities.
The areas have been designated: • North of Liberty Street, South of Chambers Street, West of Broadway, East of the Hudson River • North of Maiden Lane, East of Broadway, West of Pearl Street, South of Park Row and then Frankfort Street • North of Beaver Street to Broadway and then to North of Battery Place, South of Liberty Street to Broadway and then to South of Maiden Lane, West of Pearl Street, East of the Hudson River
