ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On December 13, 1996, Synagro Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
determined to replace Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein, LLP ("SLGG") as its
principal accountant with Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA").
The report of SLGG on the Company's financial statements for the last
three fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion, nor was such opinion qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principles. During the Company's three most recent fiscal
years and subsequent interim periods preceding the replacement of SLGG, the
Company had no disagreements with SLGG on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
During the Company's three most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim
periods preceding the retention of AA, neither the Company nor anyone on the
Company's behalf, consulted AA regarding any matter.
The Company has provided SLGG a copy of the disclosures made under this
Item 4 of this Report, and SLGG has furnished the Company with a letter
addressed to the Commission stating that it agrees with the statement made by
the Company in response to this Item. Such letter is filed as an exhibit to
this Report.
