WESTON Begins Removal Action for Discarded Munitions; Surf City and Ship Bottom New Jersey

WEST CHESTER, PA — February 10, 2009 – Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON^®) announced today its award of a $13.6 million Task Order by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District (Corps), to undertake a removal action for Discarded Military Munitions (DMM) at the Public Beaches of Surf City and Ship Bottom Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Project mobilization began the week of January 19.

After munitions were first found on the beaches after the initial beachfill in Spring of 2007, a time critical removal action for munitions was initiated by the Corps and was completed by WESTON as scheduled and without incident. Since that time, the Corps has been performing ongoing monitoring of the beach.

Under the latest task order, WESTON will locate and remove munitions from the dune, berm, and inter-tidal areas of the beach through excavation and mechanically screening the material. The screened material will be backfilled and regraded to pre-existing conditions. All the public beach access points, sand fencing and dune grass plantings installed as part of the original beachfill project will be restored as the project progresses to completion. In the surf zone areas, WESTON will conduct magnetometer surveys to identify anomalies and will dig at those locations to investigate and remove any potential munitions. Construction activities are scheduled to be completed by May 22, 2009.

According to Patrick G. McCann, WESTON President and CEO, “We are pleased the Corps has once again placed their trust in us to complete this munitions removal action. As a trusted integrator, our project team is committed to completing this project safely and on time. We will work with the project stakeholders and the community to keep them informed of our actions and put the safety of the public and our team first. We look forward to a successful result which is so important to local tourism and the economy.”
