On April 15,2002 I met with : vis Sexton of Total Safety Consulting (212) 640-9136 and Michael
Handler of Turner Constructi :/1 212.786.1480. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the
planned washdown of 1, 2, 3, t World Financial Centers. At this time, all the decontamination of
the exterior had been ccmpie. Samples had been collected for ACM and were negative.
Their concern was that wner .' 3 washdown starts they do not violate any of DEP regulations.
Water would be trucked in frui i outside so as to observe water restrictions. This they felt was the
right thing to do, even if DEP , i’owed them to used the pipe borne supply. The washdown is a
plain washing to give the ert * clean up some finality. It was agreed that some soil sampling
would be done where the rur T is expected. So as to ensure that no form of contamination get
into the sewer system
A review of the ACM samplir r Ione revealed that only 4 samples were collected from each
building (total of 16). Mose hr race ACM. I requested that more sampling be done as 4 samples
are not sufficient to represen I enormity of the buildings. However, they said that samples may
be hard to find. In the end T ’v .b agreed that more samples would be taken.
If the additional samples are i : 'ative, then the cleanup can go on as planned. A look at some of
the small window ledges rev:: ’: d that they were free of debris.
