NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

> certified individuals > and authorized visitors with proper equipment will > be permitted to enter the > building including the lobby. The contractor will > allow immediate access to > representatives of regulatory agencies on official > business and verify > whether anyone else is authorized to enter by > reaching out to DEP. > According to the current project design, the > entrance on Liberty Street will > be closed and sealed. Entry will be via the loading > dock and building > representatives will be present at the ground floor > in the areas outside the > decontamination enclosure systems.

> As most of you are aware a number of issues and > "items to be addressed" > resulted from the "walk-throughs". I also received > a number of e-mails and > wanted everyone to have the opportunity to receive > the responses.

> 1. In accordance with the scope of work for this > project (Item 18), > residents must identify items for disposal with > clearly legible tags and > provide a listing of the items. Residents have the > final decision on > cleaning or disposal of items. Item 18 also states > that kitchen stoves > shall be wet-wiped and HEPA-vacuumed and all other > appliances shall be > removed and disposed.

> Some residents have opted to keep some appliances > rather > than discard them. As referenced above, residents > have the final decision > on this matter. However, since the scope of work > specifically states the > items shall be disposed, the Department will need a > listing of these items > "to be saved". Included on this list should be > microwaves, mixers, > television sets, stereo components, speakers, > dishwashers, washing machines, > etc. This is to make sure that we don't have any > misunderstandings about > what items stay and which are discarded.

> Appliances that remain will be cleaned on the > exterior > surfaces and on surfaces that can be readily reached > by opening a door (i.e. > the interior of a freezer or microwave will be wet > wiped). Appliances will > not be opened or dismantled for the cleaning. Since > most appliances have > vents, it is possible that dust is present within > the item and will not be > removed as part of this cleaning.

> In some cases, a "save" list or a statement "to > discard all > items except..." was an easier item to prepare for 2
