Letter to the LMDC regarding concerns about the Abatement and Deconstruction of 130 Liberty St. (Deutsche Bank building) August, 29, 2007 [PDF 393 KB, 2 pp]
A number of Lower Manhattan residential and commercial buildings in the immediate vicinity of the World Trade Center were damaged on September 11. The majority have been repaired, cleaned and re-occupied. A few, including 4 Albany Street , 130 Cedar Street, and the former Deutsche Bank building at 130 Liberty, have been slated to come down. EPA has taken the lead in coordinating the efforts of federal, state and city agencies to ensure that the impacted buildings are demolished or deconstructed in a manner that protects the health of people who live and work in the area.
Various federal, state and local agencies have a range of statutorWy and regulatory authorities that apply to the cleaning and demolition/deconstruction work. They include EPA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation and Labor, and the New York City Departments of Buildings and Environmental Protection. The agencies have made the building owners aware of their legal obligations to conduct the demolition/deconstruction work in a manner that protects people's health. EPA reviewed and provided comments on plans for the demolition of 4 Albany Street, and on plans for the deconstruction of 130 Liberty Street.
