                                  RISK FACTORS

    An investment in the Shares of Common Stock offered by this Prospectus
involves a high degree of risk.  Prospective purchasers of the Common Stock
offered hereby should carefully review the following risk factors as well as the
other information set forth in this Prospectus.

    This Prospectus, including the information set forth below, contains 
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby.
Prospective purchasers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks
outlined in this section.
    
    Potential Liability and Insurance. Because of the type of environmental
projects in which the Company is or may be involved, the Company's current and
anticipated future services may involve risks of potential liability under
Superfund, common law or contractual indemnification agreements. The Company is
involved in numerous environmental and hazardous waste projects. These projects,
and the associated risks, range in both size and complexity. The risk factors
include, but are not limited to, location; site characteristics; past, present
and future uses; and political, legal and economic environments. Such factors
make it difficult to assess accurately both the areas and magnitude of potential
risks.     
    
    The Company maintains comprehensive general liability insurance in the
amount of $1,000,000. This amount, together with $9,000,000 coverage under
umbrella policies, provide total general liability coverage of $10,000,000. The
Company's professional liability insurance ("E&O") policy, which includes
pollution coverage, for 1997 provides $10,000,000 in coverage, with a $100,000
self-insured retention. The Company procures insurance coverage through a
broker who is experienced in the engineering field. The broker, together with
the Company's Risk Manager, review the Company's risk/insurance programs with
those of the Company's competitors and clients. This review, combined with
historical experience, claims history and contractual requirements, allow the
Company to determine the adequate amount of insurance. However, because there
are various exclusions and retentions under the Company's insurance policies,
there can be no assurance that all liabilities that may be incurred by the
Company are subject to insurance coverage. In addition, the E&O policy is a
"claims made" policy which only covers claims made during the term of the
policy. If a policy terminates and retroactive coverage is not obtained, a claim
subsequently made, even a claim based on events or acts which occurred during
the term of the policy, would not be covered by the policy. In the event the
Company expands its services into new markets, no assurance can be given that
the Company will be able to obtain insurance coverage for such activities or, if
insurance is obtained, that the dollar amount of any liabilities incurred in
connection with the performance of such services will not exceed policy
limits.    
    
    The Company evaluates and determines the risk associated with an uninsured
claim. In the event the Company determines that an uninsured claim has potential
liability, the Company establishes an appropriate reserve. The Company does not
establish a reserve if its determines that the claim has no merit. The Company's
historical levels of insurance coverage and reserves have been shown to be
adequate. However, a partially or completely uninsured claim, if successful and
of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company.     
    
    Significant Competition. The market for the Company's services is highly
competitive. The Company competes with many other firms, ranging from small
local firms to large national firms having greater financial and marketing
resources than the Company. The Company performs engineering and consulting
services across a broad spectrum of business areas including facilities
management, resource management, nuclear management, waste management, and
ground and surface water management. These services are provided to a customer
base including Federal, state and local agencies, as well as the commercial
sector. The Company's competition varies and is a function of the business areas
in which, and client sectors for which, the Company performs its services. The
range of competitors for any one procurement can vary from ten to 100 firms,
depending upon the relative value of the project, the financial terms and risks
associated with the work, and any restrictions placed upon competition by the
client. Historically, competition has been based primarily on the quality and
timeliness of service. However, the Company believes that price has become an
increasingly important competitive factor.    
    
    Contracts.  The Company's contracts with Federal and State governments
and some of its other client contacts are subject to termination at the
discretion of the client.  Some contracts made with the Federal government are
subject to annual approval of funding and audits of the Company's rates.
Limitations imposed on spending by Federal government agencies may limit the
continued funding of the Company's existing contracts with the Federal
government and may limit the Company's ability to obtain additional contracts.
These limitations, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.       
    
    All of the Company's contracts with the Federal government are subject to
audit by the government, primarily by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (the
"DCAA"), which reviews the Company's overhead rates,      

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
    
operating systems and cost proposals. During the course of its audit, the DCAA
may disallow costs if it determines that the Company improperly accounted for
such costs in a manner inconsistent with Cost Accounting Standards. A
disallowance of costs by the DCAA could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company's government contracts are also subject to renegotiation of
profits in the event of a change in the contractual scope of work to be
performed.    
    
    The Company enters into various types of contracts with its clients, which 
include fixed-price contracts.  In fiscal 1996, 17.1% of the Company's net 
revenue was derived from fixed-price contracts.  Under a fixed-price contract, 
the customer agrees to pay a specified price for the Company's performance of 
the entire contract. Fixed-price contracts carry certain inherent risks, 
including risks of losses from underestimating costs, problems with new 
technologies and economic and other changes that may occur over the contract 
period.  Losses under fixed-price contracts could have a material adverse effect
on the Company.     

    Conflicts of Interest.  Many of the Company's clients are concerned about
potential or actual conflicts of interest in retaining environmental consultants
and engineers.  For example, Federal government agencies have formal policies
against continuing or awarding contracts that would create actual or potential
conflicts of interest with other activities of a contractor.  These policies,
among other things, may prevent the Company in certain cases from bidding for or
performing contracts resulting from or relating to certain work the Company has
performed for the government.  In addition, services performed for a private
client may create a conflict of interest which precludes or limits the Company's
ability to obtain work from another private entity.  The Company has, on
occasion, declined to bid on a project because of an actual or potential
conflict of interest.  However, the Company has not experienced disqualification
during a bidding or award negotiation process by any government or private

    Potential Volatility of Stock Price.  The market price of the Company's
Common Stock may be significantly affected by factors such as quarter-to-quarter
variations in the Company's results of operations, changes in environmental
legislation and changes in investors' perception of the business risks and
conditions in the environmental services business. In addition, market
fluctuations, as well as general economic or political conditions, may adversely
affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock, regardless of the
Company's actual performance.

    Qualified Professionals.  The Company's ability to attract and retain
qualified scientists and engineers is an important factor in determining the
Company's future growth and success.  The market for environmental professionals
is competitive and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to
be successful in its efforts to attract and retain such professionals.

(a) through brokers acting as principal or agent, in transactions (which may
involve block transactions), in special offerings, on the Nasdaq National

obtainable at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, (b) to underwriters who will
acquire shares of Common Stock for their own account and resell such shares in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
