New York, NY —

The EPA and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation have reached an agreement on how to temporarily proceed at the former Deutsche bank building.

REPORTER: Deputy Mayor’s Dan Doctoroff and Ed Skyler met EPA officials and LMDC head, Avi Schick. They committed to reseal the building site while preliminary work is done.

REPORTER: Last week the EPA had taken the LMDC to task for not keeping it's public commitment to work with regulators and reseal the building to protect workers and the public from potential contamination. The site at 130 Liberty was severely damaged and contaminated on September 11th.

REPORTER: The LMDC is still working on how it wants to approach the remediation and deconstruction of the building in the aftermath of last month's fire that killed two firefighters and destroyed environmental protections that had been put in place at the site.
