The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday allowed CBS News to accompany an EPA team sifting through the ash searching for toxic debris. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We look for any uncombusted paints,&#8221; Harry Allen, a federal onsite coordinator with the EPA, told CBS News. &#8220;Or any household chemicals, pesticides. We look for batteries, especially in electric vehicles. And other kinds of hazards, like unburned munitions, we may even remove.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The EPA also monitors each property for asbestos and arsenic.

The EPA says that means the cleanup must be completed by Feb. 25.\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>Such a deadline for a large-scale disaster is unprecedented.
