And the renovation agreement with FERMA, the contractors removing the debris at the site, calls for the proper removal and disposal of 50,000 square feet of friable asbestos. Demolition is supposed to start soon, and FERMA is already ignoring requirements to keep the site wet. Don’t think you’ve seen the last of debris and asbestos fibers.

Asbestos is not safe in any context for humans and especially young children. The City also has fenced off the area 1 block around the entire building along with posting a security guard and put up white sheeting to catch moving particles that are still on the grounds. Looks like there is more to that debris than normal Construction site demolition. And there currently is an Asbestos Abatement company working at the site. But as the Fire Chief says don’t worry about the debris that is all over your yard and blowing up and down the streets… No problem there!!!
