HJW AWARDED CONTRACT BY THE U.S. BUREAU OF RECLAMATION TO MAP LAUER DAM

Oakland, California, August 22, 2005 – HJW GeoSpatial (HJW), Inc. has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region) to produce topographic mapping of areas surrounding the Lauer Dam in Modoc County, CA. The mapping will be used to support the Bureau’s design of an access road to the dam, and will require topographic mapping of the existing road alignment, the Lauer Dam and reservoir.

HJW will compile topographic mapping from 1:3600 (1”= 300’) and 1:7200 (1”= 600’) scale photography, for the generation of 1’ and 2’ contours. The mapping data will be collected and prepared according to specific guidelines set by the Bureau of Reclamation.

HJW has continually provided mapping services to the USBR since 2002.

The mission of the Bureau of Reclamation is to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public.
