Honorable Christopher 0. Ward Commissioner Department of Environmental Protection 66 John Street, 10`h Floor New York, New York 10038

Dear Commissioner Ward:

Please be advised that it has come to our attention that the carpets at 66 John Street, specifically on the 10`h floor are to be cleaned this evening at 6:00 p.m. We have been informed that these carpets are loaded with asbestos (see attached enclosures) and that proper procedures are not being engaged in order to clean them. As you are well aware, there are certain procedures for both asbestos removal and cleaning procedures that have to be adhered to. A memo issued on the same date that a cleaning will be done tonight is certainly not proper procedure for this type of clean up. The carpets need to be removed.

The Civil Service Bar Association demands that ECB not clean these carpets this evening. We also demand that every possible step will be initiated to guarantee that proper procedures and protocols will be in place to ensure that our members health is not compromised.

Your ruly, S 6

Gloria Johnson President, Civil S rvice Bar Association RE
