DRAFT MEMORANDUM
TO: Thomas R. Frieden, Commissioner Department of Health
FROM: Diana Chapin, First Deputy Commissioner Department of Environmental Protection
DATE: April 3,2002
SUBJECT: World Trade Center Activities Conducted by DEP
As we discussed last night, I had staff put together a chronology of some of the WTC activities conducted by DEP.
• Initial response and assessment. • Coordinated with OEM, EPA, DOS and DOH for cleanup activities of streets, sidewalks, and common areas. • EPA contractors conducted street cleanup by using HEPA vacs and wearing proper PPE. • DEP contractors conducted street cleanup using HEPA vacs and proper PPE (very limited). • Developed and distributed an advisory (see attached).
Please note the following language used in our advisory:
Please note that use of wet-wi^Bg and micro vacuuming are not recognized methods for asbestos sampling and should not be used.
• Set up a special telephone Asbestos-assistance Unit to help building owners, tenants and contractors with inquiries which had been manned 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 2 months. • Performed site visits to determine activities conducted by building owners. • Performed at least one inspection of all (asbestos project) ACP7 notifications filed by building owners. • To date, 34 building owners have filed ACP7 notifications. • Responded to telephone complaints fi-om the public regarding debris/dust in apartments. As of today, DEP has received over 159 indoor complaints and has resolved 152 with 7 ongoing. In 151 cases, lio visible debris was evident. In 1 case, debris was evident enough to take a sample (fi-om a windowsill) and that sample was positive. The landlord was verbally ordered to conduct on asbestos cleanup and he complied.
