My understanding from PH i one of the tenants who has been calling me for months, is that individual residents did go in and clean up their own units on their own. She has small children and was concerned enough not to clean her unit herself, but she did express concern that some of her neighbors were going in wearing improperly fitting respirators and doing the work. At one point she asked us to see if we could get them fit tested. We were always clear that these apts. needed to be cleaned professionally. Various city response agencies used apts at 125 Cedar as a base of operations. I can't believe no one thought about this issue before!

Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld. ---- Original Message ---- From:Mary Mears/R2/USEPA/US To:Kathy Callahan/R2/USEPA/US@EPA, Dore LaPosta/R2/USEPA/US@EPA, Robert Fitzpatrick/R2/USEPA/US@EPA, Dennis Santella/R2/USEPA/US@EPA, Joe Rotola/R2/USEPA/US@EPA, Ray Basso/R2/USEPA/US@EPA Cc:Bonnie Bellow/R2/USEPA/US@EPA, FMcCartongOEM.NYC.GOV, michaelgiSdep.nyc.gov Date: 06/10/2002 12:30:22 PM Subject: 125 Cedar I got a call from NBC TV. The reporter said that residents from 125 Cedar are upset because EPA and the city "told them to remove their own debris" and now it seems that they may have unwittingly moved human remains. The reporter said that they have removed "tons of debris" from 125 Cedar (is that true I wonder?). I explained that EPA and the city directed building owners to get a professional contractor to remove debris and that we never recommended that they do it themselves. His issue is more why the city didn't look at the buildings to looks for remains before. I gently reminded him that the city was dealing with a 7 story high debris pile, but I directed him to Frank McCarton at OEM. He said "so EPA doesn't care about human remains." I said of course we care, but that our role is on the environmental side and that OEM and FDNY took the lead in recovery efforts.
