                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




ICF Kaiser International, Inc. 401(k) Plan Committee
Fairfax, Virginia


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the ICF Kaiser International, Inc. Section 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1996 and reportable transactions
for the year ended December 31, 1996 are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund information have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A -- DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the ICF Kaiser International, Inc. Section 401(k)
Plan (the Plan) provides only general information.  Participants should refer to
the plan agreement for more detailed information.  The Plan was established
effective March 1, 1989 in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and is administered by an administrator
appointed by ICF Kaiser International, Inc. (the Company).  The Plan is a
voluntary, defined contribution plan that allows eligible employees of the
Company to contribute on a pre-tax basis up to 12% of their compensation, up to
a statutory limit.  The Company matches employee contributions at a rate of 50%
of the first 4% of employee contributions.  Employee contributions and Company
matching contributions are deposited with the Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company
(Vanguard), as trustee, where they are accumulated and invested on behalf of the
Plan at the discretion of the employee.

Within guidelines established by the Plan, participants may elect to direct
their accounts into several alternative investment funds.  As of December 31,
1996, the Plan had nine eligible investment funds:

Vanguard/Wellington Fund  - This fund follows a diversified and balanced program
- -------------------------                                                       
of investing in bonds and common stocks to conserve principal and provide
reasonable income without undue risk.

Vanguard/Morgan Growth Fund - This fund seeks long-term growth of capital by
- ---------------------------                                                 
investing in a portfolio of common stocks.

Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund-Long-Term Corporate Portfolio - This fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------            
seeks to provide a high level of current income, consistent with maintenance of
principal and liquidity, by investing in a diversified portfolio of long-term,
investment-grade bonds.

Vanguard Money Market Fund Reserves-Prime Portfolio - This fund invests in high-
- ---------------------------------------------------                            
quality money market instruments that mature in one year or less.  The
objectives of the fund are maximization of current income, preservation of
capital, and liquidity.

Vanguard Index Trust-500 Portfolio - This fund attempts to provide investment
- ----------------------------------                                           
results that correspond to the price and yield performance of publicly traded
stocks, in the aggregate, as represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Stock Price Index.

Vanguard Explorer Fund - A common-stock fund that seeks long-term growth of
- ----------------------                                                     
capital by investing in small and emerging growth companies.

Vanguard/PRIMECAP Fund - A common-stock fund that seeks long-term growth of
- ----------------------                                                     
capital by investing principally in a portfolio of common stocks.  Dividend
income is incidental.

Vanguard International Growth Portfolio - An international fund diversified in
- ---------------------------------------                                       
the common stocks of companies in as many as 30 foreign markets.

ICF Kaiser Stock Fund - This fund is invested primarily in common stock of ICF

Kaiser International, Inc. (ICF Kaiser Stock).  This fund has been divided into
fund units rather that shares of stock.  Each fund unit was initially valued at
$10.00.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, each fund unit was valued

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

at $6.76 and $14.37, respectively.  By design, the number of units owned by each
participant is not equal to the number of shares of the underlying Company stock
nor is the unit price of the ICF Kaiser Stock Fund equal to the market value of
the shares of underlying stock.  There are two reasons for these differences:
first, in order to differentiate between the share price of the ICF Kaiser Stock
and the unit value of the ICF Kaiser Stock Fund, Vanguard assigns an arbitrary
initial unit value (typically $10 per unit) to the fund:  second, in addition to
shares of stock, the unit value includes proportionate interest in the cash
balance held by the ICF Kaiser Stock Fund.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
Plan participants owned 361,551 and 175,385 shares, respectively, of ICF Kaiser
common stock with per share fair values of $1.88 and $4.25, respectively, based
upon quoted market prices.

Although the unit value of the ICF Kaiser Stock Fund and the current market
value of the underlying ICF Kaiser Stock are not equal, a participant can easily
determine the approximate number of shares of the underlying ICF Kaiser Stock
represented by the participant's fund units on the conversion date by dividing
the total market value of the participant's account balance by the current share
price of the stock.

Employee contributions and the Company's matching contributions are fully vested
upon initial participation and nonforfeitable upon receipt by the Plan.  Income,
expenses, and gains or losses (realized and unrealized) of Plan investments are
allocated among participants based upon their respective account balances.

Participants may borrow up to half of their account balance within guidelines
established by the loan committee of the Company.  Loans accrue interest at the
prime rate as determined at the time of issuance.  Loans are repaid through
payroll deductions on a bi-weekly basis over terms ranging from 1 to 10 years.
At December 31, 1996, there were 403 participants with outstanding loan
balances.

Upon determination, a participant may elect to receive their account balance in
a lump-sum distribution or delay withdrawal until a future date.

NOTE B -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Plan follows the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting
purposes.  The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Investments are valued for financial statement purposes at fair value.  The
values for the Vanguard Investment funds are based on the quoted net asset value
(redemption value) of the respective investment funds as of the Plan's year end.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are purchased or
sold (trade date).  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recognized when earned.  The Plan has invested in the
investment options directed by its participants.

The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
investments.  The appreciation (depreciation) consists of the realized gains or
losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

Participants who have retired upon reaching the normal retirement date (age 65)
or a deferred retirement date, or who have terminated employment with the
Company, may elect to withdraw the entire amount of their contribution account.
Benefits are recorded when paid.  Benefits due to former employees who

have not yet received the balance of their accounts and who have elected to
withdraw from the Plan totaled $149,580 and $61,278 at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the participants and are
deducted from participants' accounts based on a flat quarterly fee.
Additionally, the Company provides certain administrative support to the Plan at
no cost.

The Company anticipates and fully intends that the Plan will be a permanent
program for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries.
The Company, however, reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time such
action becomes necessary.  In the event the Plan is terminated, the net assets
will be allocated to participants as required by ERISA and its related
regulations.

NOTE C -- USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Plan's financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make
significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net
assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the
changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period and,
when applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE D -- RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks,
bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment securities.
Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain
investment securities it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the
values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such
changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts
reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits.

NOTE E -- FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In January 1995, the Internal Revenue Service ruled that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan has been amended
since receiving this determination letter.  However, the Plan administrators and
the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code.  Therefore, they believe earnings on contributions to the Plan are not
subject to tax under present income tax laws and employee contributions to the
Plan are not subject to Federal income tax to the employee until distribution
from the Plan.

NOTE G -- ASSETS TRANSFERRED

The amount of assets transferred from other plans represents rollovers for new
employees from other employer qualified plans.

NOTE H -- CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Plan to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of investments.  The Plan has invested primarily
in Vanguard investment funds.  The Plan has no formal policy requiring
collateral to support the financial instruments held by Vanguard.  Each of the
Vanguard funds is registered under the Investment Act of 1940 as a diversified
open-end investment company.  Certain funds invest in corporate debt
instruments.  The issuer's abilities to meet these obligations may be affected
by economic developments in their respective industries.
