MEMORANDUM
TO: Thomas R. Frieden, Commissioner Department of Health
FROM: Diana Chapin, First Deputy Commissioner Department of Environmental Protection
DATE: April 3, 2002
SUBJECT: World Trade Center Activities Conducted by DEP
After our conversation last night, I thought it might be helpful to have our staff put together a chronology of some of the WTC activities conducted by DEP a background.
• Immediate response and preliminary assessment by DEP hazmat staff • Coordinated cleanup activities of streets, sidewalks, and exterior common areas, with OEM, EPA, DOS and NYCDOH • EPA and DEP contractors conducted street cleanup by using HEPA vacs and DEP directed and monitored cleanup activities. • Developed and distributed advisories for owners for both exterior and interior maintenance issues involved in reopening buildings (see attached).
• Set up a special telephone in Asbestos Unit to assist building owners, tenants and contractors with inquiries which was manned 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 2 months. • Performed site visits to review activities (both exterior and interior)conducted by building owners both on request of owner, citizen complaint and general oversight. • Performed at least one inspection of all (asbestos project) ACP7 notifications filed by building owners. (To date, 34 building owners have filed ACP7 notifications.) • Responded to telephone complaints from the public regarding debris/dust in apartments. As of today, DEP has received over 159 indoor complaints and has resolved 152 with 7 ongoing. In 151 cases, no visible debris was evident. In 1 case, debris was evident enough to take a sample (from a windowsill) and that sample was positive. The landlord was verbally ordered to conduct on asbestos cleanup and he complied.
