Pear Mr. Viair:
'{’he collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers on September 11,2001 residled in the depositing of di;s! and debris on and/or in many buildings in lower Manhattan. Recent inspections of buildings near the WTC site have revealed that, while many buildings are now tree of debris, other buildings still hfo c visible deposits of material from the WTC collapse.
The City of New York believes that it is in the public niicrest to remove this materia! from buildings in the vicinity of the WTC site. Samples collected (.luring the inspections indicate that asbestos may be present in some of the debris. The removal of this material will assure that it will not become re- onlrained in the air in the tuturc, thereby protecting against any adverse effects on air quality or public health and safety. This will also reinforce the confidence of area residents and workers and therefore expedite and enhance the economic revitalization of lower Manliatran,
The City of New A’ork therefore requests that FEM A provide the necessary funding h)!' the hiring of contraeiors to pcrfbnn the cleaning and/or testing of inicrior and exterior spaces, as appropriate.
eryxruiy yours,
Christopher O. Ward
