Sandy Casualties Continue: NYC Department of Health In-plant Flooded

"I just got a delivery that Friday," laments Monello—a $95,000 delivery, he adds. In all, he estimates the flooded facility contained nearly $3 million worth of paper. "What a disaster," he says.

He and his staff were set to visit the in-plant for the first time on Wednesday. They were not allowed to enter it for the past two and a half weeks due to contamination concerns, as the facility is across the street from a sewage treatment plant, which also flooded.
