1. A dry fire standpipe shall be maintained within the building throughout the duration of the deconstruction process.

The New York Times on 9/27/2007,  reported that

The workers, employees of the John Galt Corporation, the asbestos abatement and demolition subcontractor, told the authorities that they removed the 42-foot section of pipe late last year because it was sagging from the threaded rods that held it to the ceiling, two of the people said.

The workers told the authorities that they believed that the six-inch cast iron pipe, which ran along the basement ceiling, was a feeder line for the building’s sprinkler system, and not part of the standpipe system designed to carry water in emergencies from the street to the upper reaches of the building, the people said. The sprinkler system has been inoperable since the collapse of the adjacent World Trade Center damaged the tower.

Oops we made a mistake! In their own 130 Liberty Street Implementation plan  they admit their understanding that they had the duty to  maintain a  dry fire standpipe within the building throughout the duration of the deconstruction process. After they cut what they thought were sprinkler pipes, did they test the Standpipe to verify that it did work?

In other news, it was learned that the decontamination process at 130 Liberty Street started in March 2006. Is it coincidence that March of 2006 was when the policy of FDNY non-inspection started?
