I spoke to Larry and he indicated that he thought OMB would negotiate with FEMA, so there is presently nothing for us to do except ensure that DEP acts in accordance with the approach outlined in his E-mail and refrain from getting involved with certifying that a particular premises is contaminated and in need of remediation. ---- Original Message----- From: Hoffer, Mark Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 12:46 PM To; Schiano, Frank Subject: FW: Criteria for Cleaning Requests
Can you call Larry and see what (if anything) he wants us to do? Thanks. —Original Message----- From: Kahn, Lawrence [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 5:55 PM To: 'Levine, Michele' Cc: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Criteria for Cleaning Requests
The Law Department is concerned that DEP certification that a facility is contaminated at a hazardous level will be used as evidence against the City in actions alleging that the City acted improperly in permitting continued occupancy or reoccupancy of the facility. Accordingly, we would strongly urge that # 2 of the proposed protocol be omitted. The EPA should satisfy itself through means independent of the City that the facility is contaminated at a hazardous level and in need of remediation. Alternatively, and only if that course is rejected, we would suggest that the certification be made by an independent contractor retained by the City. And, as a last resort if necessary, we could certify that based on test results submitted to DEP, the facility is in need or remediation.
