Ecology and Environment, Inc. Continues to Provide Technical Assistance to Support Hurricane Response Efforts

BUFFALO, N.Y., Nov. 29  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Ecology & Environment, Inc. is continuing to provide support to various government agencies for response and cleanup efforts. Our recent work includes:

  *  For the Louisiana State Government, E & E mobilized an emergency
     management team to support the statewide housing recovery program and
     donated-goods management systems of the joint federal and state
     responses as well as providing liaisons for the tracking and locating
     of temporary and transitional housing for displaced residents.  The
     contract is valued at a minimum of $600,000.

  *  As part of a $3-million task order, USACE initially tasked E & E to
     mobilize over 30 personnel to support EPA Region 6 by providing quick-
     reaction, on-site hazardous waste assessment and management in severely
     damaged Plaquemines, Jefferson, and Terrebonne Parishes, Louisiana.
     E & E was subsequently awarded a $900,000 task order to provide similar
     support in Vermillion and Iberia Parishes in Response to Hurricane
     Rita.  E & E is currently providing up to 46 personnel to support these
     efforts. The Company is currently in negotiations for a $2.8 million
     modification to these two task orders.

  *  For the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, we are
     providing emergency shutdown/start-up support at project sites
     contaminated with hazardous waste and dry-cleaning solvents during
     periods of hurricane activity.  This work is funded under a multi-year
     contract that typically yields revenue of about $1 million per year.
