Re: Variance Request — 133-135 Greenwich 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 133-
135 Greenwich Street, New York, NY.
Though it sustained little physical damage, the building at 133-135 Greenwich 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.
NYC DEP Variance Application:
In order to execute the particular requirements of this unique project, specific relief from RCNY Title 15
is requested as follows:
