     The undersigned hereby amend their Schedule 13D dated
February 22, 1995 (the "Statement") relating to the common stock,
par value $1.00 per share ("Shares"), of International Technology
Corporation (the "Company") as set forth below.  Notwithstanding
such amendment, each prior text of the Statement speaks as of the
respective dates thereof.
     
1.   Appendix I to the Statement is hereby amended and restated
     as set forth in Appendix I hereto.

2.   Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in
     its entirety to read as follows:

     "Neither Corning Incorporated, a New York corporation
     ("Corning"), nor Corning Clinical Laboratories Inc., a
     Delaware corporation ("CCL") and a wholly owned subsidiary
     of Corning, has any plans or proposals which relate to, or
     could result in, any of the matters referred to in
     paragraphs (a) through (j) inclusive of Item 4 of Schedule
     13D.  Each of Corning and CCL reserves the right to review
     or reconsider its position with respect to any such
     matters."

3.   Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in
     its entirety to read as follows:

     (a)-(c)  "On January 19, 1996 CCL transferred to IT
     Corporation, a Californian corporation ("IT") and a wholly
     owned subsidiary of the Company, 333,000 Shares and a
     warrant to purchase 2,000,000 Shares in exchange for 360
     shares of Common Stock of Quanterra Incorporated, a Delaware
     corporation ("Quanterra"), (or approximately 6% of
     Quanterra's outstanding common stock after giving effect to
     the transactions described in this paragraph).  In addition,
     on January 19, 1996 Corning contributed $22.5 million to
     Quanterra, IT contributed $2.5 million to Quanterra, and CCL
     transferred to Corning all shares of Quanterra owned by CCL.
     As a result of the foregoing transactions, as of January 19,
     1996, neither CCL nor Corning beneficially owned any Shares,
     Corning owned 81% of the outstanding capital stock of
     Quanterra, IT owned 19% of the outstanding common stock of
     Quanterra and Quanterra ceased to be a subsidiary of the
     Company.  Also on January 19, 1996 the Securities
     Acquisition Agreement was terminated.  To the best knowledge
     of CCL and Corning, none of the persons listed on Schedule I
     beneficially owns any Shares."

(d)  "Not applicable."

(e)  "Not applicable."
