From: Elliot Carter


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

As a part of the West Heating Plant disposal, comment responses were posted online: https://www.gsa.gov/cdnstatic/GSA_Heating_Plant_Disposal_Final_EA_12-05-12_Main_Document_508_part_2.pdf

The comments contain this paragraph:

"The property, as excess Federal property, will be disposed of in an “As is/Where is” condition. The steam tunnels would remain in place, and the future owner will be responsible for sealing the steam tunnels and accounting for the location of the sewer in the development planning process. Historical information and other maintenance work in that area indicates that the steam tunnels adjacent to the West Heating Plant do not contain asbestos. "

I would like to obtain a copy of the "historical information" referenced above, as well as any maps and photographs showing steam tunnels in the District of Columbia.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Elliot Carter

From: General Services Administration
