EPA relaxes asbestos-related demolition rules for all "uninhabitable" residences in Louisiana
by United States Environmental Protection Agency
Dear Dr. McDaniel:
EPA and Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) staff have continued to work together to discuss areas where LDEQ may need additional flexibility to address the challenges caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In a meeting between our respective staffs on February 16 and 17,2006, LDEQ was clear that the issues of the number of houses requiring demolition, the sheer volume of debris, limited landfill space that can currently accept asbestos contaminated material, and the need to move expeditiously to proceed with demolition activities are still critical factors that need to be addressed. As a result, LDEQ requested at that meeting additional flexibility to facilitate demolition activities. In light of the circumstances outlined by LDEQ, today EPA is exercising its enforcement discretion and granting a No Action Assurance.

Governor's Mansion Mold Cleanup Should Have Cost Much Less
by NBC17.com
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The multimillion-dollar project to rid North Carolina's governor's mansion of mold has wrapped up, but an NBC-17 investigation found the state was slow to fix the problem and knew about it years ago.
Next to the Biltmore Estate, the governor's mansion is probably North Carolina's second most famous home. But, the treasure was pretty much trashed just a few months ago.
