Re: Variance Request —21-23 Thames Street
Building Decontamination and De-construction
Dear Mr. Radhakrishnan:
The Copper Group, Inc. has engaged Airtek Environmental Corp. (Airtek) to prepare the
• following Variance Request in support of the decontamination and de-construction of the
building located at 21-23 Thames Street, New York, NY.
Though it sustained little physical damage, the buildings at 21-23 Thames Street was
impacted in places by fallout from the events of September 11, 2001. It is the Owner's
intent to conduct abatement of in-place asbestos, and to effect a decontamination of the
interior of the building so that conventional demolition activities can be completed.
Asbestos Survey:
Airtek has undertaken an asbestos survey intended to coordinate and complete previous
survey work that has been conducted at the site. All previous documentation was
reviewed and a site survey and bulk sampling was conducted. Based on this survey work,
an inventory of in-place asbestos has been developed. The results of this survey are
attached.
Health & Safety Plan:
A Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) from Airtek has developed a site-specific HASP to
be applied to all site decontamination operations. The HASP details requirements for
• access/egress and requirements for Personal Protective Equipment for workers at the site.
The HASP is attached.
