Item 2.  Disposition of Assets

      On April 14, 2000, BAC Killam, Inc. (the "Business"), an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of The Randers Killam Group Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary
of Thermo TerraTech Inc. (the "Company"), sold all of its assets to Hatch Mott
McDonald, Inc. (the "Buyer").  The BAC Killam, Inc. subsidiary provides both
private and public sector clients with a broad range of consulting services that
address transportation planning and design.

      The assets sold in the transaction include all tangible personal property
of the Business located at the Business's Buffalo, New York; Queensboro, New
York; and Milburn, New Jersey, offices, as well as all rights under certain
ongoing consulting contracts, and the rights to "Bettigole Andrews and Clark"
and "NH Bettigole" names used by the Business. The Buyer assumed all liabilities
and obligations under the assumed contracts that arise after the closing and all
liabilities and obligations relating to certain real property leases.

      The purchase price for the assets was $3 million of which approximately
$1.4 million was paid in cash at the closing and of which the balance represents
accounts receivable of the Business that will be collected by the Buyer and be
paid to the Company upon collection (less a five percent collection fee). The
purchase price of the assets was determined by the parties in arms-length
negotiations.
