PDG Environmental Awarded New Work Valued at $3.5 Million.

PITTSBURGH -- PDG Environmental, Inc. (OTC BB: PDGE), an environmental and specialty contractor, today reported that Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) has renewed its contract with PDGE's wholly-owned subsidiary, Enviro-Tech Abatement Services Co. (ETAS) for another one-year term to perform asbestos abatement at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. SRS was constructed during the early 1950's to provide the basic materials used in the fabrication of nuclear weapons, primarily tritium and plutonium-239, in support of our Nation's defense programs. Currently, SRS is undergoing decommissioning. ETAS completed $1.4 million during the first year of the term contract, and to date, has an additional $1.3 million of new work to perform during 2005.

PDGE's Los Angeles Office has also been awarded two contracts for asbestos abatement and demolition totaling $2.2 million. The first contract, valued at $1.4 million, is for interior demolition and asbestos-containing fireproofing removal at the Las Vegas airport. This project will begin within the next 30-60 days and be complete in three phases over the next year. The second contract is for $815,000 and involves the removal of asbestos floor tile, pipe insulation and acoustic ceilings in several buildings in Santa Monica, California. This project is scheduled to begin immediately and will be completed over a three-month period.

John Regan, Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are very pleased with these new awards. The contract for WSRC was announced in February 2004, and the extension demonstrates WSRC's confidence in ETAS's ability to continue to perform the work in a safe and timely manner. The awards will also help maintain PDGE's backlog at near-record levels."
