BsSrs. h A O m O Honorable Peter Lopez Administrator Environmental Protection Agency - Region 2 290 Broadway New York, New York 10007-1866 Dear Administrator Lopez: Congratulations on your recent appointment as EPA Regional Administrator. On behalf of General Electric, I am writing to respectfully request the opportunity to meet with you to introduce you to GE, and our world-class Environmental, Health and Safety program that I believe sets the standard among corporations for realizing environmental protection and safety of our communities and employees. As you may be aware, GE is the leading diversified digital industrial company, operating in 180 countries with approximately 1,200 facilities and 330,000 employees. In the United States, our footprint is approximately 400 sites. I'm sure that you're familiar with GE's particularly significant presence in New York and Region 2 , having been founded by Thomas Edison in Schenectady. I have led GE's EHS program since 2008, which is comprised of 2,300 professionals globally. We include world-class remedial, environmental, and legal teams, focused on EHS excellence and regulatory compliance. As GE transforms into a digital-industrial company, our EHS function is keeping pace, leveraging contemporary technologies to expand the reach of our experts and reduce risk. GE and EPA have worked collaboratively on many success stories, most recently the Hudson River remediation, EPA officials described GE's efforts on the Hudson a "historic accomplishment" and "enormously successful." GE and EPA continue to work together on the Hudson and other important issues encompassing almost the full scope of EPA's regulatory reach. I look forward to discussing collaboration that leads to further success stories with EPA. I can be available to meet at your canyenience in November. My assistant, Cheryl Gilli, can be reached at cheryl.gilli@ge.com or Ex. 6 ito work with your scheduler on a date and time convenient for you. Ann R. Klee Sierra Club v.
