Further to our correspondence of 6/11/2002 and as we indicated in our meeting last week, we have received
more recent expedited test results from the ‘debris piles’ at 130 Liberty Street. As shown in the attached
summary, the data confirm the presence of significant concentrations of dioxins, asbestos and metals and
provides evidence of PCB contamination.
Exhibit A contains the analysis results for a number of organic contaminants that are known to be toxic
ami'or carcinogenic. The results indicate that products of combustion, (dioxins and Poly Aromatic
Hydrocarbons) as well as BCD’s are present in samples at very high levels from representative floors from
the north side of the building, in the gash area and in the basement.
E.xhibit 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. The finely divided nature of rhe 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.
Based on these findings and other information available to the bank, this debris can only be disturbed in a
controlled environment to prevent disposal into the environment outside the building. Disposal of the debris
needs to be conducted in accordance with applicable law. Wc are commencing waste characterization tests
on an expedited basis.
In conclusion, the latest results are scientific proof of the necessity to exercise the greatest care in handling
of the debris. Therefore, we recommend scheduling a meeting to discuss this the proper and most
expeditious way to achieve this objective.
Very truly youis,
