Weston JV Wins DOE Remediation Contract

Contract worth an estimated $303 million.

 

Weston Solutions, Inc. announced that its joint venture company, North Wind Paducah Cleanup Company LLC has been awarded the prime contract for cleanup of the DOE Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant by the U.S. Department of Energy. North Wind Paducah is an SBA-approved small business created through a joint venture partnership between North Wind, Inc, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business, and Weston Solutions, Inc.

 

The remediation effort includes cleanup of a groundwater contamination plume, remediation of contaminated soil, shipment of low- level radioactive waste stored in scrap metal and material storage yards, decommissioning of several buildings, environmental monitoring, disposition of newly generated site waste and operation of site waste management facilities.

 

The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, owned by DOE, was constructed in the mid-1950s to manufacture enriched uranium for commercial and defense use. DOE oversees site cleanup. The plant still operates through a lease with the United States Enrichment Corporation, which supplies enriched uranium for commercial use.
