PASADENA, Calif.--January 15, 2010,(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEK - News) announced today that it has been awarded a Worldwide Environmental Remediation Services (WERS) contract by the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (Huntsville Center). The contract is focused on munitions response and other hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) remediation services. Tetra Tech is one of seven large businesses that were awarded this five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, which has a shared capacity of $965 million. Tetra Tech has held predecessor contracts for worldwide unexploded ordnance services since 2000.
The WERS contract includes response activities anywhere munitions are or have been stored, evaluated, treated, disposed of, or used for military training and operations.

These cleanup activities will help the U.S. Department of Defense achieve its Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) goals and support the Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) worldwide.”
