Re: Asbestos Testing

Dear Mr. Sullivan,

H. A. Bader Consultants, Inc. performed asbestos and lead testing atl99 Chambers Street on September 28, 2001. The sampling was performed by Howard Bader, P.E. and Richard Massari of H. A. Bader Consultants. This testing was a followup survey to H. A. Bader Consultants testing on September 20,2001.

H. A. Bader Consultants is licensed by the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) as an Asbestos Consultant. Mr. Bader and Massari are New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Certified Asbestos Investigators. In addition, Mr. Bader and Massari are Certified by the DOL and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) Program as Asbestos Air Sampling Technicians, Inspectors, Management Planners and Project Monitors. Mr. Bader has been trained and certified as a Lead Inspector and Risk Assessor by the New Jersey Department of Health. New York State does not have certifications in this area at this time.

Several buildings at and adjacent to the World Trade Center Complex in lower Manhattan were destroyed or severely damaged on or around September 11, 2001. It is common knowledge that some of these buildings had asbestos containing materials and possibly 1ead-hasp.d paint. It i.s sirspented that debris from the damaged buildings became airborne and potentially contaminated areas in lower Manhattan with asbestos fibers and lead dust.
