In order to allow a working space for access/egress, and to keep the
S Decontamination facility out of the work area, a preliminary soft strip and clean-
up of the 133 Greenwich Street retail store area. This abatement will be conducted
according to Subchapter G with a Personnel Decon exterior to the building.
Attachment DW will be used to allow the cleaning of the small amount of waste

be dismantled, and a Decon facility will be established in the cleaned entry space
to support the balance of the decontamination.
Phase II — Soft Strip:
All interior materials, including moveable objects, will be subject to
decontamination and removal or, if porous, will be bagged and disposed of as
ACM waste. All ceiling systems (plaster, tiles, sheetrock, etc.), wall systems
(plaster, wall board, etc.), and floor systems, (tiles, carpet, etc.) will be removed
and bagged for disposal as ACM waste. Remaining structural members, pipes,
boiler and freezer boxes will be wet-wiped, HEPA vacuumed, and encapsulated
with a penetrating encapsulant. All accessible interstitial spaces will be wet-
wiped, HEPA-vacuumed, and encapsulated. Operable windows will be
articulated, wet wiped, HEPA-vacuumed, and encapsulated.
