The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is collecting debris from storm-damaged neighborhoods and removing debris piles from temporary storage sites within New York City under three recently awarded task orders totaling $92 million. Assigned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to execute the Hurricane Sandy debris mission, USACE awarded the work to Burlingame, Calif.-based Environmental Chemical Corporation (ECC) International LCC. Local subcontractors hired by ECC are performing most of the work.
