NEW YORK -- The search for human remains on a skyscraper near the World Trade Center site, suspended more than two months ago by environmental officials, will resume on Wednesday.
Workers, wearing masks for protection from asbestos and other contaminants, will continue cleaning the roof of the former Deutsche Bank building of toxic materials and searching for remains, said John Gallagher, spokesman for the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.
The Environmental Protection Agency suspended work on the roof of the building in April, citing the LMDC for failing to properly protect workers from asbestos. It said in mid-June that the agency, which owns the vacant skyscraper and began dismantling it last fall, could resume the work.
More than 600 human bone fragments have been found in the building, most on the roof. Part of the trade center south tower tore into 15 stories of the Deutsche Bank building when it collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001.
