Since you said Jim had spoken to Ron, I spoke to Ron Tramantano directly. He is NOT concerned about the suits. He did NOT think there is any relationship between the outdoor work and indoor work. He does NOT want to review our scope of work to check it. He was asked about the standards for vehicle cleaning and indoor air by Jim because Jim had talked to someone at Corporation Counsel. Ron does not intend to go to any meetings and he is not expressing concern about our work. I can't speak for Dana at EPA Washington because I do not know her, but if EPA doesn't think what we are doing is reasonable maybe EPA can do the work instead of us. I'll call Kathy and see if Jim is as far off with regard to them and he is with State Health.
Alessandra, can you try to stop this from becoming a big issue when it isn't one? The amount of money to sample each location would probably be very expensive and would lengthen the process a great deal. Also, once we found some buildings that didn't have to be cleaned up under asbestos regulations, the public would protest that they contain other substances we don't currently regulate and still try to get us to clean them. This is rooftop cleaning (facades will be handled at off hours) so we can minimize public alarm since workers can undress before moving to a new location.
By the way, Ron also tells me that although City Health does not want to be involved in any indoor clean up. Miller is enlarging the lists of contaminants of concern.
