Dear Ken:
I wanted to take a minute to let you know how
much I appreciate the fine work Aqua Survey has performed
for Omni and our clients over the last several years. It is
such a pleasure working with you and the other staff members
at Aqua Survey who not only produce a very high quality work
product, but also genuinely care about meeting the needs of
their clients.
I particularly wish to commend you on the work
you have done with us in areas where there are no predefined
procedures for completing a given analysis or project (e.g.,
TDS Studies for NJDEP). There are far too many labs out there
who are capable of completing "cookbook" approaches
to laboratory analyses but are incapable of completing projects
which require any thought provoking solutions. On the other
hand, Aqua Survey appears to thrive on developing "cutting
edge" approaches to solving complex environmental problems.
I will continue to recommend Aqua Survey to
my clients who require ecotoxicology testing services and
the consulting associated with such services. I look forward
to continuing our working relationship with you.
Sincerely,
James F. Cosgrove, Jr.,

Dear Mr. Hayes,
This is to thank you again for the pleasant
cooperation during the World-bank project "Port Modernization
Study Poland."
Especially your swift actions to assist in solving
the problems related to the transport of the sediment samples
from Poland to your laboratory have been highly appreciated.
The results of the ecotoxicological tests as performed by
you did not only fully comply with our expectations, but also
played an important role in the final evaluation of the levels
of sediment contamination in the area of investigation.
In view of the excellent quality of the works,
it will be our pleasure to call upon you again in case of
future projects. Besides, I will certainly recommend Aqua
Survey to other companies.
Best regards,
James F. Cosgrove, Jr.,

Dear Mr. Hayes:
On behalf of our clients, including: the Casino
Reinvestment Development Authority; New York Waterway; and,
Port Imperial Marina, Paulus, Sokolowski and Sartor, Inc.
(PS&S) would like to express our extreme satisfaction
with Aqua Survey for the exemplary commitment you have demonstrated
in meeting our client's needs. Your history of providing reasonable
and timely cooperation to meet the regulatory requirements

customer is an integral business philosophy of your organization.

SUBJECT: Aqua Survey Inc.
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to relay my experiences in working with Aqua
Survey Inc. on marine survey and sediment studies. I have
worked closely with Aqua Survey executives and staff on several
major dredging projects over the past decade including the
Thames River Dredging for SEAWOLF Submarine Homeporting in
New London, CT and several maintenance dredging projects at
Naval Weapons Station Earle in Sandy Hook, NJ. In all instances,
Aqua Survey staff have shown outstanding commitment to Maguire's
project needs.
Aqua Survey has provided sediment collection and biological-effects
testing services to Maguire and I have been very pleased with
their cooperativeness, work quality and overall professionalism.
Many of the projects, the SEAWOLF project in particular, were
high profile, controversial efforts that required quality
assurance/control measures above and beyond those normally
specified by the Green Book or regional protocols.
In summary, I have the highest regard for Aqua Survey as
a result of our long standing working relationship and would
recommend them for future Corps of Engineers work.

and processed biological and water quality samples from Gowanus
Canal.
ASI personnel are knowledgeable, thorough and
eager to accommodate the specific needs of our projects in
a timely manner. We have come to rely on the reasonable and
cooperative work effort and commitment to customer satisfaction

Dear Mr. Hayes:
In my two (2) years with Groundwater and Environmental
Services, Inc. (GES), I have been responsible for assuring
that all work is performed in compliance with all local, county
and state regulations. One of the more important permits that
GES deals with on a daily basis is the New Jersey Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) discharge permit. With
a NJPDES permit, remediated groundwater must be discharged
to surface water in accordance with specific permit limitations
and conditions. Some of the NJPDES permits require Whole Effluent
Toxicity (WET) testing. Aqua Survey has been instrumental
in providing accurate and timely consulting and laboratory
services regarding WET testing. GES has come to depend upon
Aqua Survey's knowledge and advice concerning different WET
testing methods and strategies. Aqua Survey has always been
responsive and helpful in educating GES on matters involving
WET testing.
GES appreciates Aqua Survey's willingness to
cooperate and their flexibility in scheduling changes. Over
the two years that I have worked with Aqua Survey, I have
come to depend upon their knowledge and insight and would
recommend their services to anyone.
Sincerely,
Anthony Russo

Re: Commitment to Quality
Dear Ken:
As you know, we are currently teaming on two
sediment evaluation projects for the South Carolina State
Ports Authority. I just wanted to let you know that the support
from the personnel at Aqua Survey, Inc. has been essential
to our success thus far.
In particular, the field sampling personnel
have repeatedly gone out of their way to ensure that the samples
were collected on time and in a manner that would not compromise
their integrity. Furthermore, the cooperative, professional
manner exhibited by the project management and laboratory
staff is indicative of a company that holds the highest regards
for client satisfaction.
Thank you for all of your support. I look forward
to working with you on future opportunities.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Hayes:
In regards to your recent request, Coastal Eagle
Point Oil Company is very happy with the biomonitoring service
which ASI has provided to our oil refinery for over 7 years.

testing/monitoring for compliance with our NJPDES wastewater
treatment plant discharge permit. Monitoring results have
always been submitted to us in a timely manner and ASI services
are competitively priced.
ASI has also shown that their biomonitoring
results are in fact accurate. ASI has consistently been with
acceptable limits during their participation in annual EPA
DMR Quality Assurance Studies.
In conclusion, I would not hesitate to offer
a recommendation to potential customers of ASI who are in
need of biotoxicity monitoring.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Over the past decade, Killam Associates has
been working with Aqua Survey on a number of projects for
municipal and industrial clients. Most of these engagements
have involved routine environmental sampling and performance
of various aquatic toxicity tests. On several occasions, we
have also conducted elements of Toxicity Identification Evaluation
(TIE) protocol.
Major projects on which we have interacted with
Aqua Survey on a daily basis included a pretreatment toxicity
evaluation and source control for Dubois Chemicals and a toxicity
reduction evaluation and pilot plant study for the Borough
of Washington.
Throughout our work with Aqua Survey, we have
found their services to be of high quality, and their responsiveness
to our customers' needs have been excellent. We acknowledge
Aqua Survey's track record of commitment to quality work and
client's satisfaction.
Sincerely yours,

Subject: Letter of Recommendation
Dear Mr. Hayes:
For the past three and a half years, Aqua Survey
has provided sampling and testing services for the chronic
toxicity test to Radian International at the Picatinny Arsenal
site in Dover, NJ. We have also started using your services
through our prime laboratory at the Higgins Farm site in Franklin
Township, NJ.
Aqua Survey has provided outstanding services
and required analytical reports to Radian. When there was
a problem with the laboratory control or procedures, you did
not hesitate to come back and take another sample without
any additional cost to Radian.
I would recommend Aqua Survey highly for chronic
toxicity testing services.

Contracting Officer
Dear Sir/Madam:
Please be advised that the firm Aqua Survey,
Inc. (ASI) has acted as a subcontractor to TAMS Consultants
on several recent projects situated within the New England
and New York Districts. As a subcontractor, they performed
field investigations, sample collection, and aquatic toxicity
testing. In developing overall project plans for our clients,
we conferred with ASI on numerous occasions to establish realistic
time frames, costs, and technical approaches.
ASI has proven to be a highly cooperative subcontractor
with a thorough knowledge of the optimum strategy for implementing
their part of a particular project. They fully understand
the requirements of engineering and planning organizations,
such as TAMS, and appear to have a substantial commitment
to customer satisfaction. Their dealings with us have always
been professional and business-like and they have met our
objectives for their work in all instances.
It is my expectation that ASI would bring the
same professionalism to US Army Corps of Engineers projects
as they have to TAMS projects.
Very truly yours,
TAMS Consultants, Inc.
