December 17, 2002 114 LIBERTY STREET REMOVAL OF DUST, DEBRIS, AND CONTAMINATED MATERIALS

01 SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY OF AREA CONTAMINATION

A. The accumulation of dust was the result of the destruction and collapse of the World Trade Center towers on September 11,2001. Dust and pulverized building construction debris penetrated the building through openings in the building’s exterior facade. The dust, contaminated with various contaminants including, but not necessarily limited to, heavy metals and asbestos, is present throughout 114 Liberty Street.

B. Initial sampling conducted by Ambient Group in June of 2002, revealed that various contaminants were present at detectable levels in the dust, including the following:

1. Asbestos fibers:

2. Dioxins and furans; and

3. Various metals, including, but not limited to, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc;

C. Mold growth has been identified on certain porous materials, particularly underneath the hardwood flooring on the north side of the building, from the top floor down to the basement level, as a result of water damage following the WTC attacks. Damage to the building fagade, from falling debris, left the building open to the elements. In addition, water damage within the building occurred as a result of penetrations in the roofing system due to felling debris.
