Throughout this = project, the CrowderGulf management team and crews worked hand in hand with local,state,federal agencies and municipalities as well as with — BP management and BP Safety, Quality Assurance and Quality Control personnel to safely and efficiently complete the project. In all efforts,CrowderGulf complied with all laws,rules and regulations designed to protect the environment and wildlife habitats. In every aspect of the project, CrowderGulf remained sensitive to public concerns and requests. After September, 2010, CrowderGulf was primarily involved in on-shore cleanup using hand crews and power screening. This operation included simultaneously managing five field offices in two counties.At the height of the response, work at these five sites involved the employment of over 1,200 people and approximately 100 pieces of equipment to clean Alabama beaches. In approximately five months, CrowderGulf screened the entire Alabama coast from the toe of the dunes to ten feet above the rack line.This required the coordination of over 160 pieces of heavy equipment, including 40 one-ton off-road trucks and JD-330 size excavators with operators.Approximately 7 billion pounds of sand was screened and over 3 million pounds of hydrocarbon material was recovered from the beaches in both counties. CrowderGulf also provided services to several pre-event contract clients along the Gulf Coast that were directly affected by the Deep Horizon oil spill.

Hurricane Ike did the most damage in Texas and, as a result, CrowderGulf had pre-event contracts activated in five counties and 23 cities in that state.Two days before Hurricane Ike made landfall,CrowderGuifs management team was on-site in Texas and communicating with the counties and cities in preparation to begin immediate response and recovery efforts for debris removal. Immediately after the storm, CrowderGulfs management team and subcontractors were in place to begin the cleanup in affected areas of Texas. 79
