RE: PDG REMEDIATION, INC. - REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF
REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3 (FILE NO. 33-304687)
In accordance with Securities Act Rule 477, PDG Remediation, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), hereby applies for the withdrawal of a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 33-304687) filed on behalf of the
Company on May 29, 1996. The basis for this application for withdrawal is that
PDG Environmental, Inc. (the "Selling Shareholder"), the owner of the shares of
common stock of the Company proposed to be registered, has elected not to
proceed with the proposed plan of distribution described in the prospectus
included in the Registration Statement under the heading "Plan of Distribution."
The Selling Shareholder has instead agreed to sell its shares to a single
purchaser in a private transaction. The Company understands that the fee paid
upon the filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission will not be
returned.
The Company respectfully requests that the Commission consent to the withdrawal
of the Registration Statement for the reasons set forth above.
Very truly yours,
/s/ John M. Musacchio
