The old Washington Post building was located at 15th and L St, NW. This is the view from L Street. Updates on the new (mostly) Fannie Mae Headquarters as construction progresses.

I ride my bike by this site every day on my way home. Does anyone know what precautions the demo team takes to ensure there is no asbestos or other cancer causing agents still in the building when it is taken down? They seem to be spraying the building with water as they demo it, but there is still a layer of dust along the bike bath. I do my best to cover my mouth and nose when I go past (which I know probably does nothing), but I am curious if anyone knows the measures the company is required to take to ensure no toxic materials are getting into the air and water.
