ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.


     On December 3, 1998, International Technology Corporation, a Delaware
corporation doing business as The IT Group, Inc. ("ITC"), announced the merger
(the "Merger") of Tiger Acquisition Corporation ("Tiger"), a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC, with and into Flour Daniel
GTI, Inc. ("GTI"), pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of October 27, 1998, among GTI, ITC, Tiger and Fluor Daniel,
Inc. (the "Merger Agreement").  GTI was the surviving corporation after the
Merger and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC.  The surviving corporation
has changed its name to Groundwater Technology, Inc.

     As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Merger was the second step in
a two-step transaction.  The first step, which was consummated on December 3,
1998, involved an offer by Tiger (the "Offer") to purchase all of the issued and
outstanding shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of
GTI, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, dated as of November 3, 1998, and the related Letter of Transmittal
(which, together with the Offer to Purchase, constitute the "Offer"), at a price
of $8.25 per Share, net to each seller in cash, without interest (such amount
being hereinafter referred to as the "Offer Price").

     The Offer expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday,
December 2, 1998.  Based on preliminary information provided by the depositary
for the Offer, ITC reported that, as of the expiration of the Offer, 7,998,015
Shares (including 1,489 guaranteed deliveries) were properly tendered and not
withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.  On December 3, 1998, Tiger accepted for
payment, and notified the depositary to promptly pay for, all of the tendered
Shares at the Offer Price.  Upon the consummation of the Offer, Tiger owned
approximately 95% of the Shares.

     On December 3, 1998, the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective
Time"), each issued and outstanding Share not tendered in the Offer (other than
Shares held by ITC, Tiger or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of ITC or
Shares that were owned by GTI or any direct or indirect subsidiary of GTI, which
were canceled and retired without any payment with respect thereto, or Shares
with respect to which the holder properly exercised such holder's appraisal
rights in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law) was converted
into, and became exchangeable for, the Offer Price.

     Financing for the Offer was provided under a Credit Agreement entered into
on February 25, 1998 by ITC, IT Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITC
("IT Corporation"), and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of ITC, as
amended and restated as of June 11, 1998, September 16, 1998 and October 26,
1998 (as amended, the "Credit Facility"), with a group of lenders. Approximately
$15 million of IT Corporation's cash on hand and $36.5 million from the proceeds
of IT Corporation's draw down under its revolving credit loan were made
available to Tiger through intercompany loans and were used by Tiger, along
with $20.0 million of GTI's cash on hand, which was loaned to ITC and made 
available to Tiger, to pay for

Shares accepted for payment in the Offer and for certain expenses and costs
related to the Offer and the related merger.

     A copy of ITC's press release announcing the expiration of the Offer, the
acceptance for payment of Shares and the plan to consummate the Merger is filed
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
