Covering the AMC east region—comprising 22 sites at Charleston AFB, S.C., MacDill AFB, Fla., and Pope AFB, N.C.—is TolTest, Inc., of Ohio. Another Ohio firm, Environmental Quality Management, Inc., will cover the west region—19 sites at Fairchild AFB, Wash., Grand Forks AFB, N.D., McConnell AFB, Kan., and Travis AFB, Calif. Overseeing these contractors and handling the necessary regulatory reporting will be Earth Tech, Inc., of California, for the east region and CH2M Hill, Inc., of Colorado for the west.
