Weston supported the EPA in response to a U.S. Navy F/A-18 jet crash into a residential apartment building in Virginia Beach, VA. Weston’s response team was called upon to conduct non-typical air sampling for carbon fibers found in the carbon composite construction material of the F/A-18.
Weston mobilized personnel from our nearby Norfolk, VA office, to deploy specialized air sampling equipment to help address the carbon fiber concern in the incident vicinity. The EPA On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) recognized Weston’s performance in correspondence to the EPA contracting and project officers.
The air monitoring and sampling efforts that Weston performed provided critical data to the EPA and the Navy in determining when it was safe for nearby displaced residents to return to their homes.
