NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document
. Thanks for all your help Page 2 of2
Once again, reacting to political and private groups, EPA seems to be contemplating moving toward a cleanup program encompassing commercial buildings and small businesses.
Jane Kenny is setting up a "Strategy Meeting" for December 5 with you and I and among others Erin Crotty- DEC, Pat Clark- OSHA, etc. to see how we move forward. When I asked Kathy why are we waiting until 12/5 to have such an important meeting, she indicated that was the first date Erin Crotty has available (amazing!). I would suggest that after the FAD is signed hopefully on 9/18, that we push for a strategy meeting immediately.
We have a host of other issues like potentially changing dioxin standards to almost non-detect that comes in as a result of EPA’s presentation for peer review regarding potential contaminants of concern. This is potentially dangerous.
Would you please give me a call so we can ensure that I can, in a low-key fashion, promote Deputy Mayor’s agenda at my meeting of 9/14.
Thanks,
Bob
P.S. On a positive note, I have attached Edelman’s Website highlight story for today, which promotes good public relations. This is what is needed at the Federal level.
