Indoor Clean up Activities

The Department developed a scope of work for the indoor cleaning activities. After multiple meetings with the USEPA and the USEPA meetings with local representatives and organizations, the USEPA modified the scope of work. The NYCDEP went out to bid with the scopes of work developed by the USEPA. The Department procured the contractors for the USEPA indoor residential clean-up program. In order to facilitate the management of the program lower Manhattan was subdivided. The program includes four monitoring and environmental sampling contractors, four clean-up contractors, and the hotline-operation contractor. The hotline was extended through December 28,2002.

Residents may request cleaning and testing, testing only, reimbursement for an HEPA-equipped vacuum and/or an information packet. As of October 4, 2002, 5433 requests were received by the hotline. 4261 residents have requested cleaning and testing and 1123 residents have requested testing only.

Initial cleaning efforts that included wet wiping of surfaces and the use of vacuums equipped with HEPA filters were effective in cleaning surfaces impacted by debris. The available sampling information has not indicated the need for residents and visitors to be concerned.
