Mr. Christopher O. Ward Mailstop NYC07-2804 Commissioner New York City Department of Environmental Protection 59-17 Junction Boulevard 10th Floor Flushing, New York 11373

Dear Mr. Ward,

As promised in the meeting between Deutsche Bank representatives; the fire department, the Office of Emergency Management, and the Department of Design and Construction on June 4 2002, Deutsche Bank has compiled the results of preliminary tests from 130 Liberty which are attached.

Exhibit A contains the analysis results for a number of organic contaminants that are known to be toxic and/or carcinogenic. The results indicate that products of combustion, (dioxins and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are present in samples from representative floors from the north side of the building, in the gash area and in the basement.

Exhibit B contains the analysis results for asbestos, mercury and other heavy metals. The results indicate that asbestos is present throughout the building in amounts exceeding one per cent. Furthermore the asbestos is present in an extremely finely divided state with as many as 100 million structures per square foot. Tlie finely divided nature of the dust makes disturbance of the material likely to produce very high exposures. The results also indicate the presence of mercury, beryllium and several heavy metals in significant concentrations.

Exhibit C contains the results of bulk testing of visible microbial growth. The samples were collected on two basement levels. An extensive suite of fungi and bacteria were identified including stachybotrys.

Based on these findings and other information available to the bank, its experts have recommended a systematic testing program to quantify the nature of the hazard, methods for handling the material during removal to protect workers and the public, characterization of the waste for disposal purposes, and appropriate remediation processes.

Very truly yours.

Deutsche Bank AG

-A David L. Wiener Managing Director Corporate Real Estate and Services
