To Provide Technical, Outreach, and Voluntary
Program Support to OSW
FAIRFAX, VA, November 13, 2006 – ICF
International (Nasdaq: ICFI) announced today it was
awarded a five-year, US$16.5 million contract with
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office
of Solid Waste (OSW) to provide technical, outreach, and voluntary program support regarding hazardous,
industrial, municipal, and special wastes. Efforts under this new contract will serve to protect human health and the environment and conserve natural resources and energy by managing materials more efficiently and reducing risks from waste.
"Winning this contract not only affirms our
leadership position supporting EPA’s hazardous
waste program since its inception, but creates a
major new growth opportunity in municipal and industrial
solid waste programs," says Gary Light, senior
vice president at ICF and expert in environmental
consulting. "The
ICF team looks forward to supporting EPA with fresh
and creative solutions for voluntary and regulatory
programs, built on our extensive institutional knowledge
and experience in materials management nationwide."
ICF’s role will be separated into three parts. Part I will focus on municipal, industrial nonhazardous, and special waste program support, including collecting data and conducting studies and surveys; conducting technical research and analyses; providing support for EPA’s development of guidance, regulations, and standards; and providing waste management program implementation support. Part II will address industrial solid and hazardous waste characterization support, including human health and ecological health analysis; engineering analysis, data collection, and evaluation; waste sampling and laboratory analysis support; regulatory impact analysis; and other technical support. Part III will comprise support for outreach, public involvement, educational, and motivational programs and campaigns, as well as voluntary programs under the framework of the Resource Conservation Challenge and related efforts.

This document may contain “forward-looking
statements”—that is, statements related
to future—not past—events, plans,
and prospects. In this context, forward-looking
statements may address matters such as our expected
future business and financial performance, and
often contain words such as “guidance,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “should,” or “will.” Forward-looking
statements by their nature address matters that
are, to different degrees, uncertain. For ICF,
particular uncertainties that could adversely
or positively affect the Company’s future
results include: risks related to the government
contracting industry, including possible changes
in government spending priorities; risks related
to our business, including our dependence on
contracts with U.S. Federal Government agencies
and departments and continued good relations,
and being successful in competitive bidding,
with those customers; performance by ICF and
its subcontractors under a major contract with
the State of Louisiana, Office of Community Development;
uncertainties as to whether revenues corresponding
to the Company’s contract backlog will
actually be received; strategic actions, including
the ability to make acquisitions and the performance
and future integration of acquired businesses;
risk associated with operations outside the United
States; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed
in the Company’s filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These uncertainties
may cause ICF’s actual future results to
be materially different than those expressed
in the Company’s forward-looking statements.
ICF does not undertake to update its forward-looking
statements.
