For your meeting with Bob. Attached and embedded (with a space for an EPA quote). GO YANKS!

Residential Cleanup Deadline Extended Until 12/28/02 To ensure that all eligible New Yorkers concerned about dust and debris that accumulated in their homes as a result of the World Trade Center (WTC) collapse have the opportunity to register for apartment cleaning and/or testing, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), FEM A, and City of New York have extended the registration deadline for the Residential Dust Cleanup Program to December 28, 2002. The original deadline was October 3, 2002.

To date, only about a quarter of the residents who are eligible for this program have registered. The most likely reason, according to EPA officials, is that people still don't know the offer exists.

[Insert quote from EPA about importance of the program and why they felt it necessary to extend deadline.] About the Program Under this program, residents living south of Canal, Allen and Pike Streets may request the following;

That their residence be professionally cleaned and then tested for asbestos in the air (if asbestos is still present, their home will be re-cleaned), OR

That their residence be first tested for asbestos in the air without professional cleaning. If asbestos is found above the level that EPA has established to protect public health, they may ask that their residence be professionally cleaned.

Reimbursement by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter vacuum, if they have not already been reimbursed for one by FEMA.
