SGS Environmental Services, Inc. is a subcontractor for URS Corp. The cleanup effort is removing chlorinated solvents, which were disposed of in the ground when the base first began operations, according to Charles Mikula, 436th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental flight chief. This is not a concern for public health since no one drinks the water, he said. (U.S. Air Force photo/Roland Balik)
