Perma-Fix Announces $8 Million Remediation Contract

Perma-Fix Environmental Services announced late last week that it has been awarded a contract for $8 million to provide remediation services to a site in New Jersey. The contract is for 12 months at a former industrial site located in Teterboro, N.J., and work is set to begin this month with an end date of June 2015. Both the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have oversight responsibilities for the site. “We look forward to supporting this important cleanup effort,” Perma-Fix Chairman and CEO Lou Centofanti said in a statement. “Perma-Fix was selected based on our successful track record addressing the types of environmental conditions present, as well as our ability to cost effectively remediate the site.” Perma-Fix will perform the work under the oversight and direction of O’Brien & Gere Engineers, Inc. and their Licensed Site Remediation Professional pursuant to the remedial action work plan under review for approval by the NJDEP, the company said.
