Atlas Technical Consultants, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATCX) (“Atlas” or the “Company”), a leading Infrastructure and Environmental solutions provider, announced today that it was awarded a $5 million contract to provide Environmental and Quality Assurance Services to the Washington State Department of Transportation. Atlas’ technical staff will support WSDOT in its efforts to remove fish barriers and improve fish migration patterns in streams and rivers across the state.

Following a Federal culvert injunction, initially issued in 2013, Washington state has been working to remove culverts in areas where highways and roads cross streams and rivers. Atlas technical staff will support WSDOT’s efforts in removing the culverts by providing environmental, engineering, and quality assurance and control services as the state works to remove these barriers and ultimately improve fish passage and migration patterns.

“Atlas has a strong history of providing environmental and quality assurance services in Washington state and throughout the Pacific Northwest,” said L. Joe Boyer, Atlas’ Chief Executive Officer. “We are committed to helping our clients meet their environmental goals and are looking forward to providing a comprehensive set of technical services on this important project.”
