Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On March 8, 2000, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
with Cape Environmental Management, Inc. ("CEM") to sell certain assets and
assign certain contracts and liabilities associated with its Tustin,
California operations for $2.1 million.  The transaction was closed on May 8,
2000, effective as of April 30, 2000, with final consideration consisting of
approximately $1.775 million in cash, the assignment of $0.075 million of
vacation accruals and related payroll taxes, and a holdback of $0.250 million
due within 60 days subject to certain adjustments.  The nature and dollar
value attributed to the assets and liabilities transferred in the sale
consisted of $0.9 million of field and office equipment, $1.05 million of
project contracts consisting of non-EPA federal and commercial contracts, a
$0.1 million non-compete covenant and $0.05 million of intangibles.  The
Company's net book value of the assets and liabilities of approximately $0.7
million and approximately $0.1 million of other related closing costs resulted
in a recorded gain of $1.3 million on the date of sale.   The Company will
retain approximately $1.3 million of assets related to the Tustin operations
consisting primarily of receivables recorded through the date of closing.
