Jacobs has received a 2021 Thomas D. White Environmental Award for the company’s environmental remediation efforts with Air National Guard at a military installation in Burlington, Vermont.
The partnership worked to implement remedial measures for six program sites and created a treatment system to prevent petroleum and chlorinated solvent contamination in offsite groundwater areas, the company said Thursday.
“Significant conservation milestones such as this prove that mission assurance is attainable while sustaining resilient, smart solutions that benefit the military community for generations,” said Tim Byers, senior vice president and general manager of federal and environmental solutions at Jacobs.
Byers noted that the company provided advisory services and climate response support to ANG.
The project team was able to reduce chemical concentrations by 90 percent over a 14-acre zone and completed the regulatory closure process for four of the six environmental restoration sites, according to Jacobs.
