Anchorage, AK -- CIRI Development Corp. acquired North Wind Inc., an environmental management, engineering and construction services company on Dec. 31, 2009. CIRI Development Corp. is a wholly owned CIRI subsidiary.
North Wind is an Alaska corporation, headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho, with some 400 workers at offices and projects located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The firm was founded by company President Sylvia Medina in Eagle River, Alaska, in 1997. Medina will remain president, and CIRI does not anticipate any management changes or job cuts.
“We are very excited to bring North Wind into the CIRI family of companies,” said Margie Brown, CIRI president and chief executive officer. “It is a successful, highly-regarded company with a strong management team. It should provide an excellent platform for CIRI business growth, especially outside of Alaska.”
"The new ownership will benefit North Wind and its customers by assuring long-term continuity," Medina said. "CIRI is well-positioned to help North Wind grow its operations across North America.”
North Wind also provides natural/cultural resource consulting and information technology services. The firm has a large portfolio of contracts with government and commercial customers, including the Department of Energy, Department of Defense, Bechtel Corp., NASA, Chevron Phillips Chemical, Duke Energy and General Electric.
CIRI is one of 12 Alaska-based regional corporations established by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 to benefit Alaska Natives who had ties to the Cook Inlet region. The company is owned by 7,300 Alaska Native shareholders of Athabascan and Southeast Indian, Inupiat and Yup’ik Eskimo, Alutiiq and Aleut descent. It is based in Anchorage and has interests across Alaska, the Lower 49 and abroad. CIRI’s well-diversified portfolio of business operations and investments includes:
CIRI also created a family of nonprofit service organizations that provide needed health care, housing, employment, education and other social and cultural enrichment services for Alaska Natives and others.

| Washington Closure Hanford - Recovery Act Weekly Report | Date Posted: 01/05/2010 | ||
|
Background Summary of Projects that Washington Closure Hanford (WCH) will accomplishusing ARRA funds (pending definitization of scope and contract modifications). A. The Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility (ERDF) ERDF is the hub of the WCH scope of work and supports a major portion of other Hanford contractor (OHC) waste disposal. Wastes collected from sites around the Hanford complex are brought to ERDF for treatment and disposal. WCH operates the ERDF and is currently using ARRA funds to upgrade and expand its capabilities to meet the needs of Hanford’s accelerating mission. B. The 618-10 Burial Grounds The trenches at 618-10 have long been regarded as some of Hanford’s worst waste sites. Using ARRA funds, WCH will characterize the site. Intrusive and non-intrusive techniques will be used, and the subsequent analysis of data will enable the project to pursue remediation of the site safely and effectively. C. The 618-11 Burial Grounds Along with 618-10, the 618-11 Burial Grounds are among the biggest challenges faced by WCH using ARRA funds. The 618-11 characterization work will require special care because of its proximity to the Energy Northwest Generating Facility, north of the 300 Area. D. Waste Site Remediation WCH is employing ARRA funds to clean up many failed waste sites not originally part of its contract. Sites in the 100-F and IU 2&6 segments 1&2 are proposed for waste site remediation in the two year period starting in October 2009. E. Confirmatory Sampling of other new sites WCH is proposing to complete the early sampling process of 66 potential waste sites using ARRA funds. Confirmatory sampling is performed for sites that require additional information for determining if the site requires remediation. Details including chemicals of potential concern, specific sample locations, frequencies, sampling protocols, and analytical methods are presented in site-specific work instructions. Samples are then collected and analyzed for radionuclide and/or non-radionuclide chemicals of potential concern to determine if the site requires remedial action. This weekly report will provide evidence of these activities as they occur in support of ARRA.
