WESTON Named Outstanding Contractor by New England Corps of Engineers

MANCHESTER, NH - December 4, 2000 - Roy F. Weston, Inc. today announced it has received the Outstanding Contractor 2000 Award from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District for sustained outstanding performance, cooperation and professionalism as a hazardous and toxic waste remediation contractor.

"We are very proud to receive this award," said William L. Robertson, WESTON Chief Executive. "Our partnership with the New England District has created a synergy that is providing superior performance and building public trust as the Corps pursues its environmental mission."

U.S. Representative John E. Sununu (R-NH-01) praised WESTON's achievement. "This award is a tribute to WESTON's commitment to the critical work of cleaning up our environment," Sununu said. "The New England region is fortunate to have the firm's reliable expertise available - expertise that has time and again helped return once contaminated land to productive use for future generations."

Presented only six times in the last 20 years, primarily to small business contractors, this is the first time the Corps has given the award to a large contractor holding an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) remedial action contract.

WESTON has been providing environmental restoration services to the New England District for the past six years under contracts valued at over $100 million. Work has included the investigation and cleanup of hazardous and toxic waste under the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Program and the Department of Defense's Environmental Restoration Program. The company recently won the rebid of a remedial action contract with a total gross value of up to $50 million and a Housatonic River remediation contract with a total gross value of up to $150 million.

The Corps' award is the latest recognition given to WESTON. In 1999, WESTON was one of the recipients of the Vice President's Hammer Award for cost-effective cleanup of the Charles George Landfill site in Massachusetts, which was completed under two of the contracts WESTON holds with the New England District.

John Hammond, Manager of WESTON's Eastern Operations, congratulated the New England project team, adding "We have renewed our commitment to continue delivering value to the Corps as we move forward in partnership with them."

An industry pioneer since 1957, WESTON provides infrastructure redevelopment services worldwide. With an emphasis on creating lasting economic solutions for its clients, the company's services include site remediation and redevelopment, infrastructure operations and knowledge management to bring impaired facilities, land, water and other resources back to productive use.
