The RMI Titanium Company's Earthline Technology Division (RMI) is the Department of
Energy's environmental restoration contractor at the Ashtabula Environmental Management
Project (AEMP) in Ashtabula, Ohio. RMI owns the Ashtabula property, formerly known as the
RMI Extrusion Plant, where the firm processed uranium for the Department and its predecessor
agencies. In March 1993, the Department awarded a cost-reimbursable contract to RMI to clean
the extrusion plant and adjacent grounds to a level that permits release of the site for unrestricted
use. The contract required that RMI complete the project on or about March 31, 2003. The
estimated cost to complete the project was about $237 million.
