Enforcement Asbestos Control Program

Corona, New York 11368-5107
Dear Mr. Lutchmedial:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with us regarding the façade cleaning at the World
Financial Center.
As per our conversation, we are exempt from water restrictions when washing the
building down. The results of the bulk sampling of material on the building showed less
than 1% of asbestos and the D.E.P. therefore considers this a non-asbestos project. As a
non-asbestos project, there is no requirement for collecting the wastewater from the wash
down or any special protection.
We have attached copies of the bulk sample result for Towers 1, 2, 3, and 4. As per your
suggestion, we will get 5 additional samples for each building for a total of nine (9) each.
We will forward the results as they become available.
Very truly yours
TURNER CONSTRUCITON COMPANY
