I explained that neither of these situations had anything to do with the
roof and facade cleanups, which have not begun. But, he says "they"
will be monitoring the cleanups and will have media there to "catch" the
city if it does not follow ail safety regulations. He asked me to share
this with the Task Force. His position is that even though the city is
doing the cleanups, EPA is ultimately responsible if it is not done
properly.
He also mentioned that he is investigating the "fact" that DEP has only
issued one asbestos violation in lower Manhattan since Sept. 11. Plans
to compare that to a similar period. This will all be scrutinized, no
doubt with an eye toward finding faultl Worth raising with the group.
