Dear Deputy Chief Jones:
I am in receipt of your letter dated May 10, 1985, concerning ammonia in
a tank located in the basement of our building at 26 Market Street. We
share your concern that the ammonia from this tank be removed as soon as
possible. To this end I have spent considerable time contacting companies
who deal with hazardous waste material.
I am pleased to report that I have finally located a refrigeration service
in New Hampshire that is experienced with ammonia removal They have
visited the site with me on Saturday, May 11, and are now scheduling the
ammonia removal. I have impressed upon them the importance of moving
quickly on this matter, and they have promised to schedule this work
within two weeks time. I will inform you of progress.
Very truly yours,
Arthur L. Pichette
