INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(F)
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
AND RULE 14F-1 THEREUNDER

GENERAL

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about January 16, 1998, as
part of the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the
"Schedule 14D-9") of OHM Corporation (the "Company") with respect to the
tender offer by IT-Ohio, Inc. ("Merger Subsidiary") for shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Shares"). Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth
in the Schedule 14D-9. You are receiving this Information Statement (this
"Statement") in connection with the possible election of persons designated by
Parent to a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board"). The Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, Parent and
Merger Subsidiary, dated as of January 15, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement")
provides that if requested by Parent, the Company will, subject to compliance
with applicable law and promptly following the purchase by Merger Subsidiary
of Shares pursuant to the Offer, take all actions necessary to cause persons
designated by Parent to become directors of the Company so that the total
number of such persons equals not less than the product of the total number of
directors on the Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to
this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of
Shares beneficially owned by the Parent Companies (as hereinafter defined)
bears to the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding rounded up to
the next greatest nearest whole number. The Merger Agreement further provides
that in furtherance thereof, the Company will increase the size of the Board,
or use its reasonable efforts to secure the resignation of directors, or both,
as is necessary to permit Parent's designees to be elected to the Company's
Board of Directors; provided that at all times prior to the Effective Time (as
defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company's Board of Directors shall
consist of at least two members who are neither officers, stockholders,
designees nor affiliates of the Parent Companies (as defined in the Merger
Agreement). The Merger Agreement further provides that at such time, the
Company, if so requested, will use its reasonable efforts to cause persons
designated by Parent to constitute the same percentage of each committee of
such board, each board of directors of each subsidiary of the Company and each
committee of each such board (in each case to the extent of the Company's
ability to elect such persons). This Information Statement is required by
Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule
14f-1 promulgated thereunder.

YOU ARE URGED TO READ THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT CAREFULLY. YOU ARE NOT,
HOWEVER, REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY ACTION.

The Offer commenced on January 16, 1998 and is scheduled to expire at 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on February 17, 1998, unless extended.

The information contained in this Information Statement concerning Parent
and Merger Subsidiary has been furnished to the Company by Parent, and the
Company assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness
of any such information.

At the close of business on January 15, 1998, there were 27,554,547 Shares
issued and outstanding, which is the only class of securities outstanding
having the right to vote for the election of directors of the Company, each of
which entitles its record holder to one vote.

DESIGNEES TO THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Parent has informed the Company that it currently intends to choose the
designees (the "Acquisition Designees") it has the right to designate to the
Company's Board of Directors pursuant to the Merger Agreement from the
executive officers and directors of Parent and Merger Subsidiary listed in
Schedule I of the Offer to Purchase, a copy of which is being mailed to
shareholders. The information with respect to such officers in Schedule I is
hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. As of January 15,
1998, the ages of each

such officers are as follows: Mr. Anthony J. DeLuca--50; Mr. E. Martin
Gibson--59; Mr. James C. McGill--54; Mr. Daniel A. D'Aniello--51; Mr. Philip
B. Dolan--39; Admiral James David Watkins--70; Mr. Robert F. Pugliese--65; Mr.

Mr. James G. Kirk--58; Mr. Harry J. Soose--45; Mr. James M. Redwine--41; and
Mr. Joseph K. Register--44.

It is expected that the Acquisition Designees may assume office at any time
following the purchase by the Purchaser of a specified minimum number of
Shares pursuant to the Offer, which purchase cannot be earlier than February
17, 1998. This step will be accomplished at a meeting or by written consent of
the Board providing that the size of the Board will be increased and/or
sufficient numbers of current directors resigning such that, immediately
following such action, the number of vacancies to be filled by the Acquisition
Designees will be available. It is currently not known which of the current
directors of the Company will resign. Parent has informed the Company that
each of the officers listed in Schedule I of the Offer to Purchase has
consented to act as a director of the Company, if so designated.

None of the executive officers and directors of Parent or Merger Subsidiary
currently is a director of, or holds any position with, the Company. The
Company has been advised that, to the best knowledge of Parent or Merger
Subsidiary, none of Parent's or Merger Subsidiary's directors or executive
officers beneficially owns any equity securities, or rights to acquire any
equity securities, of the Company and none has been involved in any
transactions with the Company or any of its directors, executive officers,
affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the

REPORT ON REPRICING OF STOCK OPTIONS

Pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted May 9, 1996, the
Company approved adjustments in certain existing stock options granted under
the 1986 Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors, in approving the
adjustments in the options granted under the 1986 Stock Option Plan,
considered a variety of factors,

B-10

including the Company's actual performance since the date of the original
grants, the market performance of the Company's stock, changes in the stock
market affecting the industry generally, the Company's need to compete for the
services of employees, the effectiveness of previously granted options as a
retention device, and the Board's belief that stock-based compensation as a
significant component of the employee's compensation package is a strong
motivational device. The Board determined that certain of the stock options
were no longer motivational or retention devices, and therefore authorized
adjustments for such options.

1996 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board of Directors has adopted the 1996 Management Incentive Plan
("MIP"). The principal purpose of the MIP is to advance the interests of the
Company by providing annual bonuses for officers of the Company so as to
attract and retain such officers, make their compensation competitive with
other opportunities, and cause them to strive to achieve the Company's
financial and other business objectives. All officers of the Company are
eligible to be selected as MIP participants. Participants in the MIP are
selected by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.

Pursuant to the terms of the MIP, officers are eligible to receive "target"
bonuses established as a percentage of each participant's annual base salary
if the Company meets certain performance goals selected by the Compensation
and Stock Option Committee related to the achievement of pre-tax income or
operating income (or a combination thereof). The MIP provides a formula or
matrix prescribing the extent to which a participant's target bonus may be
earned based upon the degree of achievement of such performance goal or goals.
The current target bonus range is 30% to 50% of participants' base salaries
for 1997. The MIP also allows the Company, subject to Compensation and Stock
Option Committee approval, to award discretionary cash bonuses for exemplary
performance or to reward special achievements which impact the Company's
results.

B-11

RETIREMENT AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
Executive Retirement Plan and subsequently amended it on June 21, 1996 and
renamed the plan as the Retirement and Incentive Compensation Plan ("RICP").
The RICP is administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The
principal purpose of the RICP is to allow executive officers to defer current
federal income taxation of their compensation and, along with the Company's
matching contribution, accumulate monies towards retirement in the absence of
any Company retirement plan, other than the Company's Retirement Saving Plan
which severely restricts officer participation due to certain Internal Revenue
Service limitations. Pursuant to the terms of the RICP, executive officers may
defer up to 50% of their compensation during any year, provided that such
executive officer may not defer more than 30% of his or her compensation during
any year to such individual's Retirement Deferral Account (as described below).
The Company matches 50% of the amounts deferred by the participant and
deposited into the Retirement Deferral Account and matches 100% of the amounts
deferred by the participant and deposited into the OHM Common Stock Deferral
Account. The participant's contribution, plus the Company match, remain
unfunded by the Company until paid to the participant at retirement or other
termination of employment. Any amounts deferred by the participant and
deposited into the Retirement Deferral Account, and Company matching
contributions, are credited monthly with interest at the prime rate and are
increased yearly by the annual increase in the S&P 500 index if such increase
exceeds the interest credited monthly to the participant during the calendar
year. Any amounts deferred by the participant and deposited into the OHM Common
Stock Deferral Account, and Company matching contributions, are credited
monthly in units on the basis of the average of the market value of the
Company's Common Stock during the preceding calendar month.

INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

The principal purpose of the Incentive Stock Plan is to attract, compensate
and retain officers of the Company and to align the financial interests of the
Company's officers with the shareholders of the Company. Officers and key
employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Incentive Stock
Plan.

Officers of the Company who are selected by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee are eligible to receive grants or sales of shares of restricted stock
for up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock upon
such terms and conditions as the Compensation and Stock Option Committee may
determine in accordance with the Incentive Stock Plan. Each grant or sale is to
be evidenced by an agreement and shall result in an immediate transfer of
ownership of shares of Common Stock to the participant in the Plan, or the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee may defer the transfer of ownership of
the shares until such time as the Committee may specify, provided that in each
case such grant or sale shall be made, issued or awarded in consideration of
the performance of services and the execution of a non-competition agreement,
and shall entitle the participant in the Incentive Stock Plan to dividend,
voting and other ownership rights, subject to a "Substantial Risk of
Forfeiture" within the meaning of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code for a
period to be determined by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee on the
date specified by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee on which the
grant of restricted stock becomes effective (the "Date of Grant").

Each sale or grant may be made without any other consideration from the
participant or in consideration of payment by the participant that is less than
the market value per share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant. The market
value of a share of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock at the end of
the Company's fiscal year was $7.625, which was the closing price as reported
on the New York Stock Exchange on such date.

Each grant or sale provides that, during the period for which there is a
"Substantial Risk of Forfeiture," the transferability of the shares of
restricted stock is prohibited in the manner and to the extent prescribed by
the Compensation and Stock Option Committee on the Date of Grant. Any grant or
sale may provide that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on the
shares of restricted stock be automatically sequestered and reinvested on an
immediate or deferred basis in additional shares of Common Stock, which may be
subject to the same restrictions as the underlying award or such other
restrictions as the Compensation and Stock Option Committee may determine.

B-12

The Compensation and Stock Option Committee may provide on or after the Date
of Grant of any restricted stock, for the payment of a cash bonus intended to
offset the amount of tax that the participant in the Plan may incur in
connection with the restricted stock, including tax on the receipt of the
bonus. To the extent the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local
or other taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a
participant or other person under the Plan, and the amounts available to the
withholding are insufficient, it is a condition to the receipt of any payment
or the realization of any benefit that the participant or such other person
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of
any taxes required to be withheld.

The Committee may amend the Plan from time to time. Upon the termination of
employment by reason of death, disability or retirement from the Company, upon
the attainment of age 65 or upon completion of ten years of employment with
the Company and the attainment of age 55, or in the event of a change in
control of the Company, a participant's restricted stock shall become fully
vested and cease to be subject to a "Substantial Risk of Forfeiture."

Federal Income Tax Consequences. Unless a special election is made under
Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code, a participant generally will not be
subject to tax upon the grant of restricted shares. A participant generally
will recognize ordinary income at the time the restrictions lapse in an amount
equal to the then fair market value of the shares less any cash paid by the
participant. In addition, a participant will recognize ordinary income upon
receipt of any cash bonus. To the extent that a participant recognizes
ordinary income, the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction,
provided, among other things, that such income meets the test of
reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an
"excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code and is not disallowed by the $1 million limitation on certain
executive compensation.

OHM CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

The Company's Retirement Savings Plan (the "Retirement Plan") was
established in 1988. Officers of the Company, together with substantially all
full-time salaried employees and certain other employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries, are eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan.
Participants may make basic contributions of up to a combination of 15% of
their compensation, as defined in the Retirement Plan, which qualify for
deferred tax treatment under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"). The Company makes matching contributions of 100% of the first two
percent of the participant's compensation contributed to the Retirement Plan
and 50% of the next four percent of the participant's compensation contributed
to the Retirement Plan. Matching contributions are allocated to the accounts
of participants in the Retirement Plan who have completed two years of
service. The Company also may, in its discretion, make profit sharing
contributions to the Retirement Plan which will be allocated to all eligible
employees. All participant contributions are invested at the direction of the
participant, and all profit sharing contributions are invested at the
direction of the Retirement Plan committee. Matching contributions are made in
Company stock and, upon allocation to a participant's account, may be
reinvested at the direction of the participant. Amounts attributable to the
Company's matching contributions vest upon the earlier of (i) the completion
of two years of service, or (ii) the participant's death, disability or
attaining age 65 while an employee. As of November 30, 1997, an aggregate of
$43,918 was contributed as matching contributions under the Retirement Plan to
the accounts of all executive officers as a group during 1997. Matching
contributions for the five most highly compensated executed officers named are
shown above under the heading "Executive Compensation and Other Information,
Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation." The Company made no profit
sharing contributions to the Retirement Plan during 1997.

1986 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, which
consist of approximately 180 individuals, are eligible to receive stock
options under the 1986 Plan. The purpose of the 1986 Plan is to attract and
retain outstanding individuals as officers and employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries, and to furnish incentives to such persons to increase the
Company's profits by providing them opportunities to acquire shares of Common
Stock of the Company on advantageous terms. The 1986 Plan is administered by
the Compensation

B-13

and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors, currently consisting of
Messrs. Getz, Gorr and Schmidt, which determines the terms and conditions of
stock options issued under the 1986 Plan, amounts of benefits granted, and the
officers and key employees who shall receive them. Options granted under the
1986 Plan may be (i) options that are intended to qualify under particular
provisions of the Code; (ii) options that are not intended to so qualify, or
(iii) combinations of the foregoing.

The 1986 Plan, as amended, authorizes the granting of options to purchase up
to an aggregate of 3,850,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Option
agreements evidencing the grant of options are required to specify an option
price which is not less than the fair market value of shares of Common Stock
of the Company on the date of grant. The market value of a share of Common
Stock underlying the options at the end of the Company's fiscal year was
$7.625, which was the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange
on such date. Option agreements must also specify the methods of payment of
the option price, which may be (i) in cash or by check, (ii) by delivery of
Common Stock of the Company already owned by the optionee having a fair value
at the time of exercise equal to the total option price; or (iii) a
combination of such methods of payment. No stock option granted under the 1986
Plan may be exercised more than ten years from the date of grant. Except with
respect to the proposed amount to limit the number of options granted to any
individual in a three-year period, if adopted by the shareholders, the 1986
Plan does not impose any other limit on the number of shares that may be
optioned to a particular employee or officer. However, the Code requires that
the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the options are
granted) of stock with respect to which "incentive stock options" are
exercisable for the first time by any one employee during any calendar year
not exceed a total of $100,000. Outstanding options are subject to adjustment
in specified events, such as stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations
and mergers, and the number of shares authorized by the 1986 Plan is subject
to adjustment in those events.

Stock options issued under the 1986 Plan may be either Non-Qualified Stock
Options or Incentive Stock Options with the following Federal tax
consequences.

Non-Qualified Stock Options. A stock option that is not qualified under the
Code (a "Non-Qualified Stock Option") generally will not result in any taxable
income to the optionee at the time it is granted. In general, the holder of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option will realize ordinary income at the time of
exercise of the option in an amount measured by the excess of the fair market
value of the optioned shares (at the time of exercise) over the option price.
However, the Section 16 (b) Deferral (as defined below) will apply in the case
of optionees who are officers of the Company.

If the option price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option is paid for by the
delivery of shares of Common Stock previously owned by the optionee, no gain
or loss will be recognized to the extent that the shares received are equal in
fair market value to the shares surrendered.

Section 83 of the Code deals generally with property (including stock)
received by an employee as compensation, and provides for deferral of taxation
so long as the employee's rights in the property are subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture and are not transferable. Section 83 will apply so long as
the sale of stock received could subject the employee to suit under Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but not longer than six months
(the "Section 16(b) Deferral").

The Section 16(b) Deferral can be avoided if the officer makes an election
within thirty days after the transfer of stock to him to have it taxed to him
as ordinary income at its fair market value on the date of transfer less the
amount, if any, paid by him.

Incentive Stock Option. An incentive stock option, i.e. a stock option that
is qualified under the Code (an "Incentive Stock Option"), will not result in
any taxable income to the optionee when it is granted or timely exercised. To
be timely exercised, an Incentive Stock Option must be exercised within three
months after the optionee ceases to be an employee (within one year if the
optionee is disabled) unless the optionee has died. If the optioned stock is
held more than two years from the date of grant of the option and more than
one year after the transfer of the stock to the optionee, the optionee will be
taxed on any gain on the sale of such stock at long-term capital gains rates.

B-14

If Common Stock acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is
sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of before the end of the required
holding periods, the optionee will in the usual case realize ordinary income
at the time of disposition equal to the excess of the fair market value of the
stock at the time of exercise over the option price.

Under Section 1036 of the Code, if shares of Common Stock previously owned
by the optionee are transferred in payment of the option price under an
Incentive Stock Option, generally no gain or loss will be recognized on the
surrender of such shares to the extent the fair market value of the shares
received equals the fair market value of the shares surrendered. The shares
received in such equal exchange will have the same tax basis and holding
period as the shares surrendered; any additional shares received will have a
zero basis and the holding period will commence on the transfer date. The
spread at the time of exercise will not be subject to tax if the holding
period and other requirements for an Incentive Stock Option are satisfied.
However, if any shares transferred in payment of the option price under an
Incentive Stock Option were previously acquired by the optionee on the
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and were held for less than the
necessary holding period, Section 1036 would not be available. As a result,
the optionee would realize income on the surrender of such shares in payment
of the option price.

General Matters. To the extent that an employee recognizes ordinary income
in the circumstances described above, the Company would be entitled to a
corresponding deduction. provided, among other things, that such income meets
the test of reasonableness and is an ordinary and necessary business expense.

Withholding of Federal taxes at applicable rates will be required in
connection with ordinary income realized by an optionee upon exercise of Non-
Qualified Stock Options and disqualifying dispositions of stock acquired upon
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

Stock options granted under the 1986 Plan may not be transferred except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and may not be exercised during
an optionee's lifetime except by the optionee or his guardian or legal
representative. The 1986 Plan may be amended from time to time by the Board of
Directors. However, any amendment that increases the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock covered by the 1986 Plan or would cause Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act of 1934 (or any successor rule to the same effect) to
cease to be applicable to the 1986 Plan, is subject to approval by the
shareholders of the Company. The 1986 Plan provides that the Compensation and
Stock Option Committee may, with the concurrence of the affected optionee,
cancel any agreement evidencing a stock option granted under the 1986 Plan. In
the event of such cancellation, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
may authorize the granting of a new stock option, which may or may not cover
the number of shares which had been the subject to the prior agreement, in
such manner, at such option price and subject of the same terms, conditions
and discretions as would have been applicable under the 1986 Plan had the
cancelled stock option not been granted.

DIRECTORS' NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company recognizes the importance of attracting and retaining
outstanding individuals as directors and of stimulating the active interest of
these persons in the development and financial success of the Company. In
addition, the Company endorses the position that stock ownership arrangements
are beneficial in aligning Directors' and shareholders' interests in the
enhancement of shareholder value. The Board of Directors believes that the
Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Director Option Plan") is a
significant factor in furtherance of these objectives and intends, through the
Director Option Plan, to increase the Company's profits by providing such
persons with opportunities to acquire shares of the Common Stock of the
Company on advantageous terms.

Only Directors who are not employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are
eligible to participate in the Director Option Plan. The Director Option Plan
provides that the total number of shares that may be sold upon the exercise of
stock options shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Director
Option Plan is of indefinite duration and will continue in effect until all
shares reserved for options thereunder have been sold or until earlier
termination of the Director Option Plan.

B-15

The Director Option Plan provides for automatic grants of options to
purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company to Directors of the Company who
are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Under the Director
Option Plan, each person who was an incumbent non-employee Director of the
Company received an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock, as of
August 6, 1992, the effective date of the Director Option Plan, provided that
the total number of shares each optionee was eligible to receive was reduced
by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to prior option grants to such
Director. Each person who first becomes a non-employee Director of the Company
after the effective date is entitled to receive an option to purchase 15,000
shares of Common Stock as of the date such person first became a non-employee
Director. Each person who is a non-employee Director of the Company is
entitled to receive an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock
immediately after each of the Company's annual meetings of shareholders. An
option is exercisable in full upon six months of continuous service as a non-
employee Director. Options granted under the Director Option Plan are options
that do not qualify under particular provisions of the Code. The Director
Option Plan is administered by employee directors who are not eligible to
participate in the Director Option Plan.

DIRECTORS' DEFERRED FEE PLAN

The Board of Directors has adopted the Directors' Deferred Fee Plan (the
"Deferred Fee Plan") the purpose of which is to help solidify the common
interest of Directors and shareholders in enhancing the value of the Company's
Common Stock. It is also intended that the Deferred Fee Plan will assist in
attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as Directors. The
Deferred Fee Plan will give those Directors who are not also employees of the
Company an opportunity to defer current federal income taxation of all or a
portion of their annual retainer and meeting fees payable by the Company for
their services as a Director.

Under the terms of the Deferred Fee Plan, a Director may elect to have his
or her Director's fees credited to an account in either cash or units (an
accounting unit equal in value to one share of Common Stock). Deferred fees
that a Director elects to have credited in cash will be credited to the
Director's account as they become payable to the Director. A Director's
account to which fees have been credited in cash will earn interest annually
at the rate of interest payable on one-year U.S. Treasury Bills or such other
rate as the Committee designated by the Deferred Fee Plan may establish. In no
event, however, will the rate of interest be more than five percent higher
than the rate payable on such U.S. Treasury Bills. Deferred fees payable in
units will be credited, together with an amount equal to 10% of such deferred
fees, to a Director's account after the end of the fiscal year on the basis of
the average of the market values of the Common Stock on the last trading day
in each calendar month during the year. Each account to which fees have been
credited in units shall be credited annually after the end of each fiscal year
with additional units equal in value to the amount of cash dividends paid by
the Company during such year on Common Stock equivalent to the average daily
balance of units in such account during the year. The maximum number of units
that may be granted under the Deferred Fee Plan during its term is 100,000 in
the aggregate. The Deferred Fee Plan is administered by a Committee consisting
of the Chairman of the Board (provided he is an employee-director) and two
Company officers or directors who are employee-directors appointed by the
Chairman of the Board.

EMPLOYMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into agreements with the executive officers named in
the Summary Compensation Table and certain other executive officers providing
that in the event of any "change in control" of the Company, such officers
would continue their employment with the Company in their present position for
terms of approximately three years following such change in control. During
such term of employment, each such officer would be entitled to receive base
compensation and to continue to participate in incentive and employee benefit
plans at levels no less favorable to him than prior to commencement of the
term or to receive a lump sum payment, following the termination of his
employment. Benefits under these agreements are subject to an overall
limitation which assures that payments will not constitute "excess golden
parachute payments" under federal income tax law. While each of such
agreements is presently in effect, none become operative until a change in
control of the Company has occurred, prior to which time the Company and such
officer each reserves

B-16

the right at any time with or without cause to terminate their employment
relationship. The transactions that are deemed to result in a change in
control for the purposes of these agreements include (a) merger or
consolidation of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all its
assets to another corporation, as a result of which less than a majority of
the voting shares of the surviving entity are owned by former stockholders of
the Company; (b) any person becoming the beneficial owner of 25% or more of
the voting stock of the Company; (c) reporting by the Company under specified
provisions of the federal securities laws that a change in control has
occurred; and (d) when within any two-year period, a majority of directors at
the beginning of such period (not including persons approved by at least two-
thirds of the Directors still in office who were directors at the beginning of
such period) cease to be directors of the Company. Effective December 12,
1995, the Company terminated the employment agreements in effect as of such
date and, effective as of January 1, 1996, entered into revised employment
agreements with the executive officers of the Company. The revised employment
agreements include the provisions described above, except that the Board of
Directors may, by vote of three-quarters of the members, determine that a
change in control described in (b) above will not cause the employment
agreement to become operative.

The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements (the
"Indemnification Agreements") with each current member of the Board of
Directors as well as with each executive officer of the Company. The form and
execution of the Indemnification Agreements were approved by the Company's
shareholders. The Indemnification Agreements were amended as of January 1,
1996 to provide that Ohio law determines the rights and responsibilities of
the Company and the indemnitee. The amendment was necessary to reflect the
Company's reincorporation under Ohio law previously approved by the
shareholders. Such agreements essentially provide that, to the extent
permitted by Ohio law, the Company will indemnify the indemnitee against all
expenses, costs, liabilities and losses (including attorney's fees, judgments,
fines or settlements) incurred or suffered by the indemnitee in connection
with any suit in which the indemnitee is a party or otherwise involved as a
result of his service as a member of the Board or as an officer.

COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Messrs. Gorr, Getz and Schmidt are members of the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Getz is
employed by WMX, which beneficially owns 37.63% of the Company's Common Stock.
WMX and its affiliates and the Company are parties to various agreements,
including the Guarantee Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the Standstill
and Non-Competition Agreement discussed below. See "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions."

BOARD COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE REPORT(1)

The primary function of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee is to
review and approve salaries and other benefits for executive officers of the
Company, to make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the
adoption of employee benefit programs and to administer the Company's stock
option plans and to approve awards of stock options made under the Company's
1986 Stock Option Plan. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee is
composed of three Directors, Messrs. Gorr, Getz and Schmidt, who are not
executive officers of the Company. Set forth below is a report of Messrs.
Gorr, Getz and Schmidt in their capacity as the Board's Compensation and Stock
Option Committee addressing the Company's compensation policies for 1997 as
they affected Mr. James L. Kirk and the other executive officers of the
Company.

The Compensation and Stock Option Committee's executive compensation
policies are designed to provide levels of compensation that integrate pay
(considered in connection with grants of stock options under the Company's
1986 Stock Option Plan) with the Company's annual and long-term performance
goals, reward individual achievement and attract and retain qualified
executives, all in the context of the highly competitive industry in which the
Company operates.

Salaries for executive officers are determined periodically by evaluating
the performance of the individuals reviewed and their contributions to the
performance of the Company and particular business units, as applicable, their
responsibilities, experience, potential and period of service at their current
salary. Financial results as well as appropriate non-financial measures are
considered. Factors consistent with the Company's overall compensation policy
and strategy may also be considered. With respect to executive officers, the
Company's Management Incentive Plan provides bonus awards based upon the
Company's achievement of certain financial goals, and allows the Committee to
grant discretionary bonus awards for exemplary performance or to reward
special achievements which impact Company results. In its deliberations, the
Committee takes into account the recommendations of appropriate Company
officials. See "1996 Management Incentive Plan."

The Compensation and Stock Option Committee also endorses the position that
stock ownership by management and stock-based performance compensation
arrangements are beneficial in aligning management's and shareholders'
interest in the enhancement of shareholder value. The granting of stock
options pursuant to the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan is also within the
authority of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. In determining
grants of stock options to executive officers, the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee has followed policies substantially similar to those
described above with respect to compensation. James L. Kirk received grants of
stock options covering 125,000 shares of Common Stock in 1997, exercisable in
installments over a four-year period. The Compensation and Stock Option
Committee considers, in granting such options to Mr. Kirk, the view expressed
above that stock ownership by Mr. Kirk beneficially aligns his interests with
the interests of the Company's shareholders.

Mr. James L. Kirk's annual base salary of $450,000.00 was established in
February 1997.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, prohibits a
publicly held corporation, such as the Company, from claiming a deduction on
its federal income tax return for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid
for a given federal year to certain executives. Because of the Company's
current compensation levels, the Compensation Committee has developed no
policies at this time concerning Section 162(m).

Agreement") entered into in connection with the Company's purchase of Rust
Environmental, Inc., the Company and Rust International, Inc. ("Rust"), the
parent of Rust Environmental, Inc., entered into certain business agreements.
First, Rust agreed that the Company would provide all environmental

THE GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

In connection with the Reorganization Agreement, WMX, the majority
stockholder of Rust, and the Company entered into a Guarantee Agreement, which
provides that in exchange for a Warrant (described below), WMX guaranteed
indebtedness of the Company in an amount not to exceed $62,000,000. The
Guarantee amount may be increased from time to time, up to an amount not to
exceed $75,000,000 in the event the Warrant is, in whole or in part, exercised
by WMX or transferred to a third party. On May 31, 1995, WMX guaranteed
certain indebtedness under the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement and the
Company, in consideration thereof, executed a Reimbursement Agreement in favor
of WMX obligating the Company to reimburse WMX for any payments by WMX under
the Guarantee. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement
shall be terminated as of the date on which WMX's guarantee of the
indebtedness incurred under the Company's revolving credit agreement (the
"Indebtedness") terminates (the "Common Termination Date"). The Common
Termination Date is expected to occur upon the repayment of the Indebtedness
on or about the Effective Time.

THE WARRANT AGREEMENT

In consideration for the Guarantee, the Company issued a Warrant to WMX
which is exercisable, in whole or in part, until May 31, 2000, for an
aggregate of 700,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares") at an
exercise price of $15.00 per Warrant Share (the "Exercise Price"). The Warrant
provides further that the acquisition by WMX of any of the Warrant Shares upon
exercise of all or any portion of the Warrant is subject to the ownership
limitation on WMX and its affiliates (the "WMX Group") set forth in the
Standstill and Non-Competition Agreement (the "Standstill Agreement")
described below. The Warrant provides for certain adjustments to the Exercise
Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise in the
event of a stock combination, stock split, a capital reorganization or
reclassification, a merger or consolidation, or a sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets. Pursuant to the Repurchase
Agreement, the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement shall terminate at the
Common Termination Date.

B-19

THE STANDSTILL AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company, WMX and Rust entered
into a Standstill Agreement providing that the WMX Group will not acquire any
of the Company's Common Stock or any of the Company's other securities
entitled to vote generally for the election of directors ("Voting Securities")
other than pursuant to exercise of the Warrant, or in acquisitions, including
exercise of the Warrant, that do not result in the aggregate ownership by the
WMX Group or more than 40% of the Company's Voting Securities, or such lesser
percentage as may exist from time to time as the result of voluntary
dispositions by the WMX Group (the "Ownership Limit").

Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, no member of the WMX Group shall
acquire Voting Securities which would result in the WMX Group owning Voting
Securities beyond the Ownership Limit unless the acquisition is (i) made
pursuant to an offer for all of the Company's outstanding Voting Securities at
the same price, and (ii) is approved by either the Company's independent
directors or the Company's shareholders, other than the WMX Group and certain
other shareholders, pursuant to the Control Share Acquisition provisions of
the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The Standstill
Agreement also provides that if the WMX Group's ownership level falls below
20% of the outstanding Voting Securities, the WMX Group shall have an option
to purchase from the Company sufficient Voting Securities at fair market value
to raise its ownership to not more than 21% of the outstanding Voting
Securities. The WMX Group, pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, agrees, among
other things, not to solicit proxies in opposition to any matter recommended
by a majority of the Company's directors not representing WMX (the "Non-WMX
Directors"), or to solicit a tender offer or business combination.

As long as the WMX Group owns at least 20% of the Voting Securities, the
Company will include as nominees to the Board of Directors a number of WMX
Group designees proportionate to the WMX Group's ownership interest (to the
lowest corresponding whole directorship). Furthermore, so long as the WMX
Group owns at least 20% of the outstanding Voting Securities, WMX shall take
all actions in its control to include at least three independent Directors on
the Company's Board of Directors. The Standstill Agreement provides that the
WMX Group shall vote its Common Stock for the Company's nominees to the Board
of Directors selected by a majority of the Non-WMX Directors. The WMX Group
shall vote on all other matters (i) in accordance with the recommendations of
the majority of the Non-WMX Directors, or (ii) if no recommendation is made,
in the same proportion as other shareholders of the Company shall vote.

Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, WMX, Rust and their respective wholly-
owned subsidiaries (the "WMX Affiliates") have agreed not to engage in the
business of providing field services for the on-site remediation of hazardous
substances in North America for seven years after the closing except as
otherwise provided in the Standstill Agreement. The Standstill Agreement also
provides that for so long as the WMX Group owns at least 20% of the
outstanding Voting Securities, (i) the Company shall be a preferred provider
of certain environmental remediation services to the WMX Affiliates, and (ii)
the WMX Affiliates shall be preferred providers of engineering, consulting and
design environmental and waste management services to the Company. Also, Rust
will provide the Company access to its engineering, consulting, design and
project management services personnel on the same terms and conditions as Rust
provides them to WMX Affiliates. Additionally, the Standstill Agreement
provides that the WMX Affiliates will contract with the Company for $20
million of environmental remediation services prior to December 31, 1996,
which was extended to December 31, 1997.

Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the foregoing provisions of the
Standstill Agreement will terminate as of the consummation of the Repurchase.

OTHER SERVICES

In 1997, OHMR received from WMX and its affiliates $23,663,946 for
remediation, construction and other services performed by OHMR. OHMR paid
$6,867,570 to WMX and its affiliates for engineering-related and disposal
services.
