The contract will run from May through August 2006 and will include the on-site management, transportation and disposal of contaminated soil from a remote location on Kodiak Island.

"This recent contract award represents our third year working in Alaska as GEM, building our presence in the region. GEM is well suited to provide the necessary waste management services and address the logistical challenges presented by remote sites such as Kodiak, and we anticipate we will secure additional contracts for work in Alaska in 2006."
