New EPA Contract

Horsley Witten Group, Inc. has been awarded a seven year, $17 million contract to provide Safe Drinking Water Act support for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This contract follows on the heels of the firm’s five-year, $5 million contract to support the EPA’s water security mission, awarded in February 2008, bringing the EPA’s total commitment to $22 million. “We’re excited to expand our relationship with the EPA,” said Mark Nelson, P.G. and a Principal of the Horsley Witten Group. “We provide the EPA with a unique local perspective on drinking water protection based on our understanding of community water systems, a perspective that is increasingly vital to their national outreach mission.”

Under this new contract, Horsley Witten will support the EPA Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water. This arm of the EPA is responsible for administering the Safe Drinking Water Act, which governs 160,000 public water supply systems across the United States. Horsley Witten will provide guidance in the two distinct areas of water security and source water protection. The company’s water security work will focus on emergency response preparation.
