SPRINGFIELD, Va., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Versar, Inc.

Jeff Moran, Versar's Sr. Vice President of Environmental Services said, "With these awards, Versar adds a fourth and fifth comprehensive, countywide MS4 permit compliance contract, similar to our contracts with Frederick, Harford, and Howard Counties, Maryland. Versar has also provided stormwater compliance and watershed planning support to Baltimore, Carroll, and Montgomery Counties in Maryland and in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties in Virginia.
