Subject: WTC cleanup update
I just spoke to Kathy Callahan and she gave me this update:
1) They are preparing a final write up for Congressman Nadler's office that will lay out for
the Congressman where the cleanup is consistent or not consistent with the NCP. Kathy said
she is pushing to have the document finalized in the next two days. Once it is finished and
shared with DEP, she feels a call to the Congressman from Jane and yourself, together or
separately, would be in order. This is something that can be discussed once the letter is finalized
and we see what it says.
2) They had a very good briefing in Washington yesterday and feel very good about how it
went, however (there's that word again) a staff member from D.C. wanted to know if the
contractors that are hired will have gone through a criminal background check. It seems that
during the anthrax scare, EPA had some problems with individuals who were hired. EPA is
looking into the issue and how it should be addressed
3) They feel they are almost finished with the scopes. They are reviewing for
inconsistencies that they have identified. Once finished, they will give to us to review. Krish has
already identified areas that need to be coordinated between documents.
