The U.S.-funded cleanup of dioxin-tainted Da Nang Airport in Vietnam is poised to begin.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) revealed today that it awarded a $17 million contract (Award #AID-486-C-12-00002) to Tetra Tech, Inc., to begin remediating the tainted soil in and around the airport, which remains poisoned with remnants of the Agent Orange defoliant used by the U.S. during the Vietnam Conflict.
USAID initially had estimated that the Environmental Remediation at Da Nang Airport project, as the endeavor is known, would cost closer to $10 million.
U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor broke the story on this project last year during the first week of the Monitor website's unveiling.
