PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT PREPARED IN ANTICIPATION OF LITIGATION

TO: DAVID VAROLI FROM: ROBERT C. ADAMS, CIH, CSP SUBJECT: WTC LITIGATION - 7 WTC FOLLOW-UP DATE: MAY 6, 2003 As requested in your May 1, 2003 email, I am attaching copies of the following documents relevant to the oil clean up in and around Building #7:

1. Listing of transformers in the OEM Zone: Con-Edison - 9/27/2001;

2. Letter stating Intentions to remove transformers as general debris - Turner-9/28/2001:

3. Health and Safely Plan (HASP) for Former Substation - Soil Boring / Monitoring Well Installation - Jacques Whitford Company, Inc. - 11/16/2001: 4. 7 World Trade Center (Trade Center Substations) Investigation Plan - NYSDEC / Con-Ed - 11/19/2001: and

5. Comments on HASP - DDC - 11/29/2001.

These documents pertain to the presence of transformer oil, not diesel oil. However, Document 4 does reference the diesel fuel. I have highlighted applicable sections.

We have no other documents pertaining to the oil spill issues for building # 7. Also, as previously discussed, we have no knowledge of ammunition in the vicinity of Building #7. The ammunition was largely confined to the area of Building #6. I have attached a safety bulletin DDC prepared for handling the ammunition. At one time, I thought that a map was developed to show the locations of the ammunition. However, I cannot locate that map at this time.
