Aleut Awarded $5.5 Million Task Order for Low-Level Radioactive Waste Remediation at NASNI

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif.-- ARS Aleut Remediation, LLC (Aleut), a recognized leader in environmental services, is proud to announce the award of a $5.5 million task order to undertake a vital project for the safe management and disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) and low-level radioactive objects (LLROs). This significant task order, granted under Aleut's Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract with the U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command (JMC), Safety and Risk Management Directorate, reinforces Aleut's commitment to environmental excellence and responsible waste management.

The project involves comprehensive waste profiling, meticulous packaging, secure shipment, and ultimate disposal of LLRW and LLROs generated from the Installation Restoration (IR) Site-10 Shoreline Slag Area (SSA) at the Naval Air Station – North Island (NASNI) in San Diego County, California. Aleut will collaborate with their esteemed teaming partner, NAC Philotechnics, to ensure the successful completion of this critical endeavor.

Under the guidance of Aleut's JMC-approved broker, NAC Philotechnics, specially designed intermodal containers will be deployed at NASNI IR Site-10 SSA. These containers will be expertly loaded with waste materials recovered during the on-site remediation process. Aleut's collaboration with NAC Philotechnics, a distinguished service provider with over 40 years of experience, will facilitate the execution of approximately 200 shipments of LLRW and LLROs to Waste Control Specialists (WCS) in Andrews, TX—a JMC-approved disposal facility renowned for its commitment to environmental stewardship.
