February 14, 2003 Kathleen Grimm, Deputy Chancellor New York City Department of Education The Tweed Courthouse New York. NY 10007
Dear Depu ty Chancellor Grimm,
As per your request, I am writing in support of FEMA reimbursement for carpet removal at Stuyvesa; : High School and other public schools that were impacted by the destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) . EPA has worked cooperatively with the Department of Education on sampling and data interpretation issues at schools impacted by the WTC disaster. In a previous letter (see enclosure) addressing the issue of asbestos contamination at Stuyvesant High School, E?A concluded that the asbestos air testing at Stuyvesant met the clearance criteria set forth in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) for re-entry into schools. However, it was also noted that properly conducted carpet removal (in a manner consistent with DOE’s “Carpet Removal Protocol” for Stuyvesant High School) would “eliminate any potential future risk associated -with re-entrainment of asbestos fibers in carpet.” Accordingly, carpet removal is a reasonable and prudent action to take at schools significantly impacted by the collapse of the World Trade Center to eliminate potential reservoirs of asbestos.
Sincerely
Kathleen /allahan
