Anchorage, AK– The Alaska Peninsula Corporation (APC), the consolidated village corporation of South Naknek, Port Heiden, Ugashik, Kokhanok and Newhalen announces that Talarik Research and Restoration Services LLC was recently awarded a sole source contract by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers to provide remediation cleanup of contaminated soils near the village of Port Heiden.
“The awarded project is unique for APC because we’re performing clean-up work on land owned by the corporation. This is an important opportunity not just for APC, but for our Port Heiden shareholders who we’ll employ as laborers and operators. By doing so we’re putting valuable resources and revenue back into the village, which in turn contributes to an overall healthy community” says APC’s Brad Angasan, Sr. Vice President and CEO of APC Federal LLC, the holding company for APC companies targeting government services through 8a contracting.
The project is planned to last two seasons and is expected to begin cleanup work by next May. In addition to local hire, Angasan says that APC has an important objective of doing as much business as possible with local enterprise and organizations such as village councils and tribes. “We attempt to maximize as much local purchasing as we can. This includes services for billeting, local hire, equipment rental, utilities, fuel and other supplies available for purchase in the village.”
APC has experienced progressive and healthy financial growth the last 2 years, in large part due to resource development work on the proposed Pebble prospect located near Iliamna. APC has had an integral role in providing project support such as exploration services, camp management, logistics, and geospatial services such as hydrographic bathymetry of Lake Iliamna as well as the Cook Inlet.
In addition to Talarik Research and Restoration Services LLC, APC Federal also manages APC Construction Services LLC and APC Professional Services LLC. APC Federal is headquartered in Anchorage, AK and has operations in North Carolina.
