By GlobalDataThe company is intending to explore the nature and extent of PFAS, as well as its impact on the soil, surface, and ground water of the 16 facilities, located in 12 different states.
In addition, Parsons will work to recognise, assess, and provide potential alternatives to reverse the impact of PFAS.
The contract also includes an additional option to include five more ARNG installations.
This work will provide community relations, support clean drinking water availability, and will also involve the designing and installation of required point of entry drinking water systems.
Parsons engineered systems business unit president Jon Moretta said: “PFAS has emerged as one of today’s most significant environmental issues, widely detected in soil, groundwater, and surface water.
“Our team has comprehensive experience investigating, mitigating, and remediating PFAS associated with a wide variety of industries, from plastics and fabric manufacturing to firefighting foam.”
Last year in November, Parsons received a multiple-award task order contract from the USACE Sacramento District for environmental remediation at different sites.
