Re: Variance Request 21-23 Thames Street
Building Decontamination and De-construction
Dear Mr. Radhakrishnan:
The Copper (Jtoup, 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 21-2 3 Thames Street. New York, NY.
Though it sustained little physical damage. the building at 21-23 Thames Street was impacted in
places by fallout from the events of September 1 1 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.
