20 Years of Excellence
EA knows what it takes to effectively assess and respond to risks posed by UXO, discarded military munitions, and MC. Our 20-year partnership with Department of Defense (DoD) testifies to our ability to successfully address the safety, human health, and environmental challenges associated with MEC. With our well-established Munitions Response Services platform, EA continues to support DoD’s mission to minimize future liabilities, while enhancing long-term sustainability.
Addressing Public and Regulatory Concerns
EA has a proven track record of effectively working with stakeholders and gaining their concurrence on critical issues such as future land use controls and remedial actions. As evidenced by our success supporting the DoD’s Operational Range Assessments, Military Munitions Response Program, and Formally Used Defense Sites program, EA has developed strong working relationships with DoD personnel, and state and federal regulators nationwide, including territories outside of the continental United States. EA’s success in gaining stakeholder consensus is facilitated by our understanding and implementation of Uniform Federal Policy (UFP) for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs), including the Munitions Response QAPP Module 1. EA utilizes this consistent, streamlined, systematic planning process on every MEC project, which results in reduced review times and revision cycles—providing significant cost savings.
Safety is EA’s No. 1 Priority
EA has never had an Explosive Safety Incident or Accident. Every person working on an Munitions Response Site (MRS) project has the authority and responsibility to “stop work” in the face of unsafe work conditions, and this empowerment directly contributes to EA’s outstanding safety record. Through a concerted company effort led by our Corporate Health and Safety Director, EA perpetuates a “culture of safety” throughout the entire organization. EA’s commitment to safety is constantly communicated through safety newsletters, monthly company-wide safety conference calls, risk management reviews, and open communications with our clients. Practicing both their responsibility and accountability for maintaining EA’s exemplary safety performance, our in-house UXO-qualified personnel (including Senior UXO Supervisors, Quality Control Supervisors, and Safety Officers) actively participate in every risk and technical document review to ensure project safety and compliance with all DoD, state, federal, and EA corporate policies.
EA, as the prime contractor, manages all aspects of munitions response removal actions with the support of our in-house team of munitions response technical personnel and UXO-qualified technicians. EA produces all planning documents, explosive safety documents, and reports and provides corporate quality control and safety oversight. We are licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to purchase explosives, and maintains personnel with State Blasters licenses.
EA has a thorough understanding of the CERCLA process to achieve a comprehensive remedial investigation/feasibility study. This is accomplished by development of UFP-QAPPs including the Munitions Response QAPP Module 1, that crosswalk the CERCLA program and meet the remedial action objectives. As a full-service provider, our staff combines the professional environmental disciplines and UXO expertise into one cohesive investigative team.
