Stopped after about one month when the Department of Health reported the presence of dioxins and dibenzofurans in the soot. The Department of Health will be reporting later today on their medical survillance of the people who were involved in this first month of the cleanup. The building was shut from March 1981 to February 1982 while arrangements were made to assure the health and safety of the cleanup workers and the surrounding community. Work completed during this time included 8 Title slide the construction of an entry portal which provides safe access to the building. *- Provisions have been made to assure security through full time guards and worker ID cards. 10 -1- Entry portal Guard desk �SSII* lew York inc.

In February, 1982, the preparations to assure safe operations were in place, and work started on the preliminary cleanup. The objective has been to remove all visible soot from the building. 22 "CLEANUP" All paper and small items were taken to the sub-basement 23 Loaded fork lift truck where records were made of each load, 24 Chalk board small items were compacted into drums, 25 Drum compactor and papers were shredded and baled. 26 Shredder. Bales of paper, drums, and plastic bags of miscellaneous items were loaded into a plastic lined roll-off bin. 27 Loading bags into bin. The bin was washed before being removed from the building and hauled by truck to an approved landfill where the contaminated material was disposed. 28 Washing bin. A number of different cleaning materials were tested in order to determine the best way to remove the soot. 29 Washing floors. A special tool was developed to taking wipe samples 30 Wipe test tool and the test program was carefully defined. It was found that a solution of the industrial detergent Triton X-100 in water gave the best results. 31 Sampling matrix.

IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE CLEANUP, WE NEED YOUR GUIDANCE IN A NUMBER OF AREAS. WE WOULD LIKE TO RESUME NORMAL VENTILATION OF THE OFFICE FLOORS SO THAT WE CAN CLEAN WITH SOLVENTS AND APPLY PAINTS AND COATINGS AS NEEDED TO REDUCE THE CONTAMINATION OF ACCESSIBLE SURFACES. SOLVENTS CANNOT BE USED AT PRESENT BECAUSE THE SOLVENT VAPORS WOULD EXHAUST THE ACTIVATED CARBON IN THE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL UNITS. DETAILED CALCULATIONS HAVE SHOWN THAT AIR RELEASED FROM THE 6th AND 14th FLOOR VENTILATING GRILLS WILL BE DILUTED AT LEAST 200 TIMES BEFORE IT REACHES THE PLAZA DECK OR THE ADJOINING BUILDINGS. HOW CLEAN MUST THE AIR BE BEFORE WE CAN RELEASE IT FROM THE BUILDING? THE FINAL CLEANUP MUST HAVE DEFINED MEASURABLE GOALS. HOW CLEAN MUST THE AIR BE BEFORE WORKERS CAN BE ALLOWED TO WORK IN THE BUILDING WITHOUT RESPIRATORS? THE FLOORS WILL BE REPLACED, PAINTED WALLS REPAINTED, AND OFFICE FURNITURE THOROUGHLY CLEANED OR REPLACED. HOW CLEAN MUST THE REMAINING SURFACES BE MADE BEFORE THEY ARE CLEAN ENOUGH FOR NORMAL USE OF THE BUILDING. I NOW TURN THE PROGRAM OVER TO THE SCIENTISTS WHO WILL PRESENT DATA ON THE TOXICITY OF THE CONTAMINANTS AND THE PRESENT LEVEL OF THE CLEANLINESS OF THE BUILDING. ALTHOUGH YOU WILL BE ASKED TO COMMENT ON THIS TECHNICAL WORK, THE BOTTOM LINE QUESTION REMAINS "HOW CLEAN IS CLEAN ENOUGH?" -6- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

C. 2O-250 JUL 1 1 1978 TO ALL WITH AN INTEREST IN THE NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE USE OF HERBICIDES IN FORESTRY The enclosed Forest Service Interim Directive further defines Forest Service policy on the use of 2,4,5-T and related compounds. It adds appropriate sections to the current Forest Service Manual on Pesticide-Use Management to provide for: (1) Special procedures for employment of women of child-bearing age, and (2) specific safety plans for each project where 2,4,5-T or related compounds are used. The cancellation of certain uses of 2,4,5-T in 1970 was based on the conclusion that fetal abnormalities found in mice exposed to 2,4,5-T constituted a reasonable doubt of safety, particularly to women of child-bearing age* Social changes over the last fev? years have given women the opportunity for employment in areas that once were considered open only to men. Since women of child-bearing age are now employed in occupations such as pesticide applicators, operators of highway maintenance equipment, foresters, and. chemical formulators, they have again become part of the population with potential for high exposure to 2,4,5-T and/or TCDD. However, due to the uncertainty that small animal test data can be extrapolated to an estimate of human risk, all women V7ill be given an opportunity to review the information and decide for themselves if they want to assume whatever risk might exist. Properly prepared project work and safety plans are invaluable training aids for new personnel and for acquainting everyone involved with the potential hazard of pesticide use. These provisions, which are in addition to those sent to you on April 28, further reflect our increasing effort to prevent possible adverse effects from using pesticides. We hope you agree. M.
