Postal facility reopens after anthrax remediation

摘要

Postal workers returned last month to a mail processing facility in northeast Washington, D.C., that was the site of the largest anthrax remediation project in the U.S. The 17.5 million cubic ft. building had been closed since Oct. 21, 2001, following the discovery of two anthrax-laced letters addressed to Capitol Hill recipients. Only a few days earlier, traces of anthrax had been found in mail delivered to the 100,000 sf. Hart Senate Office Building. It was then closed until January, 2002 for inspection and remediation.
