WPCNR'S ROVING PHOTOGRAPHER. April 7, 2005, UPDATED 12 Noon E.D.T.: Today's Photographs of the Day confirm what certain highly vocal environmental observer, Dan Seidel, has been saying about the need for taking appropriate pollution and dust safeguards on the demoltion of the Bar Building Annex to prevent possible noxious dust from polluting the downtown air. Yesterday, demolition crews working on the Bar Building were hosing down the debris as has been called for by Seidel the last two weeks.
White Plains Building Commissioner Mike Gismondi told WPCNR this morning he has directed Jim Bruno of Cappelli Enterprises to wet down the site, to prevent plumes of dust from polluting the immediate vicinity as large sections of the building are pulled down into rubble. He said his inspectors have been working with the crews and observing to assure the dust abatement procedures are complied with.

The procedures were directed by Commissioner of Building Mike Gismondi because of observation of several plumes of dust this week. Photo by the WPCNR Roving Photographer.
