Attn. Christopher O. Ward, Commissioner Re: Independence Plaza North (IPN) 310 Greenwich Street, Carpet Removal Additional Comments___________
Dear Commissioner Ward:
Subsequent to sending you our 1.8.03 letter (copy enclosed for your reference), Hudson River Management LLC had a discussion with several members of the IPN Tenant Association, Environmental Committee. As you know, the Committee’s strongly held belief is that the carpet on the 32"** floor, in our 310 Greenwich Street building should be tested for asbestos (using the ultrasonication methodology ) before the carpet is removed*.
To the extent that the ultrasonication testing protocol is practical and accurate, we concur \vath the IPNTA Environmental Committee.
If the test results are positive for the presence of asbestos in the carpet in excess of the permissible limit, then Management will requite written confirmation from the DEP that the carpet will be removed and disposed of in accordance with all laws governing asbestos abatement.
Please advise Hudson River Management LLC of your Agency’s decision in this matter as soon as possible. Contractors retained by the DEP have already removed one carpet in the 310 Greenwich Street building. We are not inclined to allow the contractors to continue carpet removal without satisfactory resolution to the issue surrounding the 32"“* floor carpet.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter.
truly yours,
TJeborah Dolan Manager
