Re: Subsurface Investigation Plan
7 World Trade Center
Dear Ma. Rommel:
As directed by the Department, enclosed please find a Subsurface Investigation Plan
designed to locate and facilitate the recovery of petroleum free phase product within the
perimeter of 7 World Trade Center.
Con Edison has received and reviewed the Department’s November 19,2001 letter
regarding the scope of work for the investigation and agrees to the additional
requirements specified in that letter, with the exception of the installation of three
monitoring wells along Washington and Barclay Streets. As discussed, and agreed to
with you and Tim DeMeo of the Department, if Verizon discontinues trenching activities.
Con Edison will relocate MW-6 to the northeast comer of the 7WTC footprint and install
two wells (MW-8 and MW-9) at midway locations along Washington and Barclay
Streets.
Because the site is owned by the Port Authority and is currently under the control of the
New York City Department of Design and Coostruotion (NYDDC), Con Edison must
obtain these agencies’ permission before proceeding with any fieldwork. Con Edison
planned to commence the investigation on Monday, November 26, 2001 however,
approvals &om the Port Authority and/or NYDDC have not yet been granted. Con
Edison will commence activities within five business days of receiving these agencies
approvals.
Please be advised that Con Edison’s preparation, submission, and implementation of the
enclosed Subsurface Investigation Plan is not intended to be and under no circumstances is to be
construed as an admission of liability on Con Edison’s part for any releases or discharges of
