Dover Air Force Base, home to the 436th and 512th Airlift Wings, is the largest and busiest air freight terminal within the Department of Defense. Over the past five years, AS has been proud to serve the Base with a wide variety of services including hazardous material and waste management; scrap yard operations; and small arms range maintenance and cleaning. With the award of a new order through our GSA Environmental Services contract, AS’ services have expanded into the collection, transfer and marketing of recyclables including paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, plastic, and wood. AS has long provided recycling program development and logistical support for clients such as the Drug Enforcement Administration and the US Army. However, this is our first contract to include the actual collection of recyclable materials.
AS Wins Navy Seaport-e Contract
June 2011
AS is proud to announce that it was recently awarded a US Navy Seaport Enhanced (Seaport-e) prime contract for providing engineering, system engineering and process engineering support; supply and provisioning support; and program support. Seaport-e is the Navy's electronic platform for acquiring support services in 22 functional areas for a user base comprised of the Navy Systems Commands (NAVSEA, NAVAIR, SPAWAR, NAVFAC, and NAVSUP), the Office of Naval Research, the United States Marine Corps, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
The Government estimates a maximum of $5,300,000,000 of services will be procured per year via task orders issued under the Seaport-e contract. The award includes a three-year base period and a five-year option that will be contingent on periodic performance reviews. Under this contract, AS has been approved to compete for individual task orders in four of the seven geographical zones of performance (National Capital, Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast, and Southwest).
This award further expands AS’ growing list of contract vehicles available to our Federal clients for a broad range of services nationwide and internationally. This list of contract vehicles also includes our General Services Administration (GSA) Environmental Services Schedule and our Army Environmental Command Environmental Compliance Services contract. Further details on all of these contracts can be found here.

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is the corporate research laboratory for the Navy and Marine Corps and conducts a broad program of scientific research and advanced technological development directed toward maritime applications of new and improved materials, techniques, equipment, and systems. AS has been supporting the NRL since June 2004 with a wide range of environmental services such as hazardous waste and toxic chemical source reduction; pollution prevention planning; ozone-depleting substances phase-out; and subsurface investigations. More recently, our work at the NRL has expanded to include the management, inspection, and upgrade of above ground and underground storage tank systems; the evaluation of the potential effects of underwater sound on marine animals; and the revival of a dormant Environmental Management System.

AS, as a subcontractor to the Midwest Research Institute, began work on the first task order under a new contract with the U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command. This task order involves the renovation of a building at the Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground for a new agent test system. Furthermore, the task order calls for the design, fabrication, and installation of the test system in the renovated building. Our role on this task order is to provide environmental planning and permitting services including those related to the National Environmental Policy Act; stormwater management; sediment and erosion control; Chesapeake Bay Critical Area; air emissions; and hazardous waste. AS was selected for this role due to our considerable experience with similar tasks at APG.
Crack the Champagne, AS Wins its Largest Contract Ever
July 2010
AS is proud to announce the largest contract award in our 20-year history. Besting dozens of other contractors, AS and ten additional firms were awarded a contract with a potential value of $130 Million by the U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command. This contract provides for a broad range of environmental compliance services at all CONUS locations including Alaska and Hawaii through June of 2015. Authorized users include the U.S. Army Installation Management Command Headquarters, Regional Offices, and installations; the Army Environmental Command; and other organizations to include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and all other non-DoD agencies. Further details on this flexible and cost-effective contract can be found here. This award was especially gratifying to AS in that the award was based almost entirely on technical qualifications. Given the complexity, size, and broad geographic coverage of this contract, this award is testament to AS’ capabilities and performance.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Completed for GSA
July 2010
Georgetown Waterfront
Located just a few blocks from the Georgetown (Washington, DC) waterfront, the General Services Administration owns a valuable 1.8-acre site that they are considering redeveloping. Prior to this redevelopment, GSA sought out the services of AS to conduct a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment to assess the environmental site conditions. Operating under strict budget and schedule constraints, we successfully reviewed existing data; developed a Sampling Plan; collected soil and groundwater samples; and tested for lead-based paint, asbestos, and PCBs. Results were then summarized in a Final Report that included recommendations for further actions and a cost estimate for these actions.
Law Enforcement Agency Work Continues to Grow
October 2009
Our work for law enforcement agencies continues to grow with an award to support the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) in developing and implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) in accordance with the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive templates and guidance and in conformance with the ISO 14001 and ANSI Z10 standards. AS bested its competition for this award by providing superior personnel qualifications and past experience. The USSS now joins the ranks of our many other federal, state, and local law enforcement clients such as the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and Delaware State Police.

Groundwater Appropriation Project Begins at Fort Detrick
September 2009
The U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Detrick, has been a client of AS since 2001. Over this eight year period, AS has been awarded three dozen task orders by the Garrison or one of its mission partners with a total value of over $3.6 million. These task orders have included an extremely wide range of environmental, safety, and health-related services, performed both on and off-site. Our latest award is a good example of the breadth of our services to Fort Detrick.
The Garrison currently obtains water from the Monocacy River for potable, industrial, and research use. Significant growth at the Garrison and within the local community will increase the surface water demand from the Monocacy and has led the Garrison to consider groundwater utilization beyond its current minimal use. Fort Detrick anticipates that a daily average of 150,000 gallons of groundwater per day can be extracted for a supplemental water supply.
AS has been tasked with obtaining a Permit to Appropriate and Use Water of the State for groundwater withdrawal and use. Our approach to this project is three-phased:
- Analysis of the hydrogeology of the area through completion of fracture trace analysis, geophysical surveys, and a review of pertinent published literature;
- Installation of test and monitoring wells, and conduct of aquifer testing; and
- Completion of a detailed aquifer testing report and submittal of all documentation required to obtain the permit.
In addition to these tasks, AS is researching the existence of archeological artifacts, historical sites, and threatened and endangered species located within the property to be permitted.

AS Awarded New USDA APHIS Contract
May 2009
As another indication of our ability to keep our clients satisfied, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) has awarded AS a new five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for nationwide waste management services. The USDA APHIS performs a myriad of agricultural and animal protection and research activities in facilities nationwide. The performance of these activities results in the generation of diverse chemical wastes of varying quantities and toxicities. These wastes include difficult pyrophorics, explosives, reactives, dioxins, and compressed gases.
AS has been performing on a similar BPA with APHIS since September of 2002. Our role on these BPA’s is to provide comprehensive hazardous, non-hazardous, and special material waste management, recycling, and disposal services at APHIS sites in over 35 states. Although the primary focus of these tasks is hazardous material and waste characterization, transportation, response, and disposal, the scope also includes other environmental services such as maintaining a nationwide database of APHIS wastes; securing U.S. EPA identification numbers; developing and implementing hazardous material and waste minimization recommendations; and reporting in accordance with state and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements.
AS Employees Honored by the DEA
January 2009
At an awards ceremony at the Drug Enforcement Administration Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, four AS employees (Ann Smith-Reiser, Laura Winter, Marvin Howell, and Jo Luke) were awarded Certifications of Appreciation for their efforts in assisting DEA in securing Federal Electronics Challenge awards in 2008 for eleven DEA facilities.
The FEC, managed by the U.S. EPA and the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive, is a voluntary partnership program that encourages federal facilities and agencies to purchase green electronic products; minimize the impacts of electronic products during use; and manage obsolete electronics in an environmentally safe manner. The eleven DEA/AS awards were especially significant given that only thirty awards total were made to all government agencies in 2008.

AS Sponsors Range Development and Operations Conferences
April 2008
In conjunction with the National Rifle Association, AS has become a sponsor of an ongoing series of conferences designed to educate range owners and operators, of both existing and proposed range facilities, in the fundamental aspects of developing and maintaining a shooting facility. These aspects include challenges associated with engineering, environmental, and safety-related issues. This information is vital for government agencies, as well as commercial, public, private, school, club, and casual ranges, both indoor and outdoor.
Besides sponsoring these conferences, AS employees Jon Kruft and Terry Yingling also participated in the training exercises at recent conferences in Orlando and Philadelphia. They shared lessons learned from our range operation, maintenance, and management experience with the U.S. Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security as well as state police agencies in Oregon and Delaware. Future RDOC conference dates can be found at http://www.nrahq.org/shootingrange/development.asp.

AS Assists Another Client in Winning Award
February 2008
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has selected Aberdeen Proving Ground as a regional finalist for the USFWS Military Conservation Partner Award for 2007. APG is being recognized for “their leadership and commitment to the USFWS and the greater public to protect our national symbol, the bald eagle. The partnership between the USFWS and APG began in the early 1980’s; since then, the number of bald eagle nesting territories have risen from one to an incredible 40 nesting pairs. APG’s contribution, in part, fulfilled a key recovery goal under which the USFWS was able to successfully remove protections under the Endangered Species Act.”
APG has been an important client of AS’ since 2002 and one of our employees, Amy Burgess, currently assists in managing APG’s Bald Eagle and Endangered Species Program. She was also instrumental in submitting the application for this award. APG will be receiving a Certificate of Recognition for their impressive conservation efforts at the National Military Fish and Wildlife Conference to be held in Phoenix in March.
