ERRG Rises in National Rankings Of Industry Polls
In a year when most of the industry was declining Engineering/Remediation Resources Group, Inc. (ERRG) bucked the trend with a tremendous increase in gross revenue for the calendar year 2010.  Two polls of the A&E and Environmental industry attest to the great year with ERRG rising in both:

Engineering News Record (ENR) ranked ERRG as the 118th Largest Environmental Firm in the United States, last year the ranking was 140. 

Zweig White announced that ERRG secured a spot in the top 50, coming in at #34.  This represents a huge jump from the ranking of #136 achieved last year.  Zweig White is an acknowledged leader in the A&E field providing management consulting and other services to the industry.  ERRG was also listed as 3rd in the category of Engineering/Construction, and is celebrated as one of the fastest growing engineering remediation construction companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.

ERRG Awarded Small Business Administration (SBA)
Region IX Prime Contractor of the Year
ERRG was awarded the U.S. Small Business Administration Region IX Prime Contractor of the Year Award for work performed at Hunters Point Shipyard, Parcel B.  Implementation of the Remedial Action at Parcel B involved construction of a cover system to prevent exposure to contaminated soil, robust engineering controls and specialized work procedures, and construction of a rock revetment along the shoreline to prevent discharge of contaminated material into San Francisco Bay.

The Navy has been one of ERRG's largest clients over the years, and our work for the Navy has grown from subcontractor roles for other large businesses to prime contractor roles on multi-million dollar environmental remediation contracts.  Over the past 5 years, ERRG has successfully executed more than 60 environmental remediation projects, totaling over $35 M at 20 Navy installations.

ERRG Awarded EBJ 2010 Business Achievement Award
Each year Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) recognizes outstanding business performance in the environmental industry with our EBJ Business Achievement Awards.  2010 marks EBJ’s 13th annual business achievement awards.  Winners are divided into business achievement by size and segment, M&A awards, new practice areas and international expansion.  Outstanding projects and new technology development or applications are awarded Project Merit Awards or Technology Merit Awards.  Finally, companies are recognized for contributions to the industry and society at large. The 2010 awards ceremony was held in San Diego at the Environmental Industry Summit on March 9, 2011 at the Hotel del Coronado.

ERRG was awarded the Silver Medal in Business Achievement: Mid-Size Firms ($20 million to $100 million), for revenue growth of more than 46%, from $39.6 million in 2009 to $58 million in 2010.  During this period, staffing increased by over 37%, going from 191 to 262.  The increased revenue and staffing is the result of some key wins during the year.  ERRG was awarded two projects each in excess of $10 million, one for the General Services Administration (GSA) for a mine site in northern California, and the second one in support of a major engineering firm for work at Hunter’s Point in San Francisco.  In addition to these awards, ERRG was successful on numerous indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts from various federal entities: two Omaha District Corps of Engineers contracts in support of the Department of Defense’s (DOD) Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP); two Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Pacific contracts in support of the Navy’s environmental programs; and one Sacramento District Corps of Engineers contract to support EPA’s Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program.  These ID/IQ contracts have over $78 million in new contract capacity.

ERRG Named Zweig White Hot Firm for 5th Year
ZweigWhite has named ERRG as one its Hot Firms for 2010.  This marks the fifth year in a row that ERRG has received this distinction.

The Hot Firm List measures firms by their revenue and earnings performance for the past three years in comparison to their peers.  In recognition of the fact that revenue growth is not the sole measure of a successful firm, ZweigWhite made some changes to its grading system for the 2010 Hot Firm List.  This year, grading was based on percentage change in gross revenue, dollar change in gross revenue, percentage change in pre-tax, pre-bonus profit; and dollar change in pre-tax, pre-bonus profit.

Forest Service Awards ERRG an $11.1 Million Contract
The U.S. Forest Service has announced that nearly $9.8 million American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds have been awarded to Engineering/Remediation Resources Group, Inc. (ERRG) to restore the Blue Ledge Mine site within the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.  An additional $1.3 million is being provided to the project by the American Smelting and Refining Company Trust.  The abandoned copper mine site located in Siskiyou County, California has been leaching toxic material into surface waters for over 100 years, impacting water quality in Joe Creek and the lower Elliott Creek watershed. 

Work on the project is expected to begin the first of July.  The project will entail removal of the toxic waste material on the site during the 2010 construction season.  Reclamation of the site through erosion control measures, topsoil replacements, and restoring native vegetation will take place during the 2011 field season.  Maintenance of the erosion control structures, and effectiveness monitoring of the benefits of the projects on the aquatic environment will continue for an additional three years. 

ERRG will be hiring over 20 local workers over the course of the project.  ERRG has extensive experience with mine remediation projects, including the ARRA funded Iron Mountain Mine restoration project near Redding, California, and U.S. Forest Service hazmat contracts in Washington, Oregon and California.
