The following is a November 25, 2009 Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Freedom of Information (FOI) reply to a request for copies of all contracts regarding renovation work within the World Trade Center towers recommended by the December, 2000 Merrit & Harris Inc. World Trade Center (WTC) property assessment entitled “Due Diligence Physical Condition Survey – World Trade Center”. Such work included major renovations upon the core support columns contained within WTC towers 1 and 2 to be completed within one year of the December, 2000 report date, that included rust treatment and asbestos abatement. Records requested previously regarding major renovation work performed by known WTC contractors (Turner Construction) until the morning of September 11, 2001, were reportedly destroyed during the terrorist attacks. Turner Construction managed the controlled demolition of the Seattle Kingdome in 2000.

    so there was a legal requirement for the wtc owners to remove asbestos fireproofing in the twin towers? has this something to do with the ban and clean air act? please give me some info on how it works.

    Hey there, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine
    but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!
