DOE Keeps Tetra Tech on for WIPP Studies

By ExchangeMonitor

The Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Field Office in New Mexico has retained California-based Tetra Tech to work on a supplemental environmental impact statement and related documents for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.

The agreement for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) documents is potentially worth $1.8-million, according to a Dec. 27 task order award notice in the federal procurement website, SAM.gov.

Tetra Tech will provide support services for National Environmental Policy Act studies and related documents, according to the notice. The notice said a request for quotes was issued prior to the award to Tetra Tech.  

Based in Pasadena, California, Tetra is an international engineering and consulting company. WIPP is the nation’s only underground disposal site for defense-related transuranic waste.
