Bob,
FEMA - s received several requests from applicants such as CUNY, BOE, etc. to r?-? ..ace upholstery, remove and replace dirt in flowerbeds, and clean vent-lition systems. The FRO's position is to fund such cleaning proj ? ; ?3 that -IP deems necessary to eliminate an immediate threat to health, life and . ?aty. For instance, when Stuyvesant wanted to clean its vent? _ .tion syst? Brad requested your Department's review and approval prior to func . Since we are receiving several other similar requests (i.e., wher^?: the c .-aning has not yet begun and the work appears to be predicated on fede?. ' funding), we would like to establish the criteria described beloi This .11 ensure that the City is aware of and supportive of the agen?. s propc. .-d project and offer FEMA a greater level of assurance that the proj-.... is necessary.
I env-iion that once this criteria is agreed upon, 0MB and the FEMA Pro j - Offi ?--3 will notify the applicable agencies that any cleaning type proj■ must : vetted by DEP prior to the preparation of the Project Worksheet. It woul„ .e the agency's responsibility to notify DEP, specifically your offi of the proposed project. I'm aware of approximately 5 of these type- of p acts.
If y; have any further questions, please feel free to contact either Brad or mi 3
