Over 820 acres of this training range were littered with unexploded ordnance and other hazardous waste, all remediated by Conti on an aggressive schedule.
?Beginning in 2005, tens of thousands of new employees came to Fort Belvoir through a process known as Base Realignment and Closure. Part of the site, however, had formerly been used as training ranges and first needed to be remediated to remove potential unexploded ordinances (UXO) and other solid waste. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Baltimore District awarded Conti this remediation project under its Small Business Total Environmental Restoration Contract.

Conti performed UXO and solid waste removal and site restoration on 820 acres at the Fort Belvoir Engineer Proving Ground (EPG). Conti managed UXO investigation and removal on training ranges with known or suspected ordnance and explosives, remediation of 17 solid waste management units and implementation of an existing closure plan for a hazardous waste management unit. The team performed UXO surveys, including geophysical surveys on the 10 former ranges, and magnetometer-assisted surface clearance on 275 acres outside the ranges. Contaminants included munitions explosives, petroleum hydrocarbons and metals.

Conti also managed analytical data into the existing environmental database and loaded geographical data into the facility’s geographic information system. Conti documented historical knowledge of the site activities by interviewing former EPG employees. The team performed the work on an extremely tight schedule.
