A History of Building a Better World

ECC was founded in 1985 with a mission to support environmental programs for Federal government agencies. Our services included emergency response and hazardous waste treatment removal, and transportation and disposal (T&D) services. Truly a success story, ECC has strengthened in size, experience, capability, and geographic reach to a highly competitive global contractor. Our nearly 40-year history exemplifies our determination to fulfill our mission to build a better world!

1985

ECC was founded in 1985 in Kentucky. In its early years, ECC provided environmental services, including emergency response and hazardous waste treatment removal, and transportation and disposal services.

1987

ECC increases capabilities and experience with the award and successful completion of a large subcontract to handle hazardous waste transportation logistics on a US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Superfund Site on the Hoopa Indian Reservation, providing ECC vital experience on a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) project.

1989

ECC becomes an approved USEPA response manager and a member of the US Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) programs, facilitating continued opportunities and growth. Shortly thereafter, ECC lands its first Federal contract with the United States Geological Survey in Colorado.

1990

ECC wins its first munitions response project in Tierrasanta, California. The USACE contract is, at the time, the largest of its type in the nation and propels ECC’s munitions services.

1991

As US military operations of the First Gulf War in Kuwait wind down, ECC performs removal, disposal, and detonation of unexploded ordnance throughout the country. This marks ECC’s first international project.

1992

ECC purchases a small analytical laboratory in Ohio to support its environmental projects, which operates until it is sold in 2002.
