Re: Fort Halifax Dam Removal Project
Dear Mr. Sargent:
FPL Energy Maine Hydro LLC, decommissioned the Fort Halifax Dam located on the Sebasticook River in Winslow, Maine, in 2008. Sargent Corporation (Sargent), our contractor for the decommissioning work, was originally awarded the work for the removal of the dam structure and related appurtenances. Due to the project schedule and associated time constraints, Sargent was also awarded the work to remove and replace the Town of Winslow's upstream sewer line in addition to the embankment work associated with the Fort Hill Cemetery and Dallaire Street.
Sargent Corporation's Superintendent, Sean Milligan, was responsible for executing the work outlined in both the original and extended scope of work for the project. Sargent was faced with many challenging circumstances during the decommissioning activities which included:
• river flows within the Sebasticook River that exceeded the expected seasonal flow rate by more than an order of magnitude;
• backwatering due to flooding conditions within the Kennebec River;
• an emergency residential evacuation during the breaching process;
• the presence of unexploded ordnance of an unknown origin and the subsequent site evacuation and shutdown; and,
• evolving project priorities and timelines.
Sean's performance throughout the project was very responsive and professional. It was readily apparent that Sean was committed to both Sargent, and FPL Energy Maine Hydro LLC, to complete this project in accordance with the specifications and project schedule despite the difficult circumstances. We respectfully submit this letter in recognition of his commitment to FPL Energy Maine Hydro LLC.
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Allen
General Manager, Maine Hydro
Charles County official lauds Sargent Corporation’s John Leeman
From: Dennis Fleming, Chief, Environmental
Resources, Charles County, MD

Subject: John Leeman
On behalf of the Charles County Public Facilities, Solid Waste Division, I would like to take the opportunity to commend the services of your General Superintendent, John Leeman. Mr. Leeman’s quality of work and commitment to the job during the construction of Cell 3A at the Charles County Landfill surpassed all of my expectations.
As expected of any job of this magnitude, there were several challenges that we encountered along the way. Mr. Leeman was able to provide exceptional leadership during these times to resolve the inherent conflicts between design engineers, site specific challenges, and the bureaucratic constraints of local and state government. Having been through this contentious process on several similar capital projects, I can honestly state that it was his professionalism that guided us through this process and resulted in the job being done on time, within budget and according to specification. I would recommend the services of Sargent Corporation and particularly John Leeman to anyone who inquired.
Thanks from Temple Academy
On behalf of the 125 students and families of Temple Academy and the entire congregation of Calvary Temple, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the extremely generous donation of fill that we received from the Sargent Corporation.
Our plans for a community playground simply would not have been possible without your donation of nearly 200 truckloads of fill and topsoil. Mike Light was a tremendous help as my direct contact person from the project at Colby College. The two drivers were wonderful, and Sargent was a delight to work with on this project. We hope to send you some photos of our finished project upon its completion.
Again, thank you very much for your kindness and generosity.

We look forward to working with Sargent on other Iberdrola projects
Sargent has provided civil construction work for the Lempster Wind Farm, starting on 26 December 2007 and continuing through the present. During that time, Ms. Katrina Morgan has been the Sargent Civil Superintendent, with responsibility for all of Sargent’s work on-site.
This is the first wind farm which Sargent has worked on for Iberdrola. You are likely aware that Iberdrola is the world’s largest wind farm owner and operator, and has greatly expanded operations in the United States. We are currently constructing 13 different wind farms in the U.S. and will further expand for 2009 and 2010. As the Lempster Project Manager, I have discussed the project progress and work in detail with my managers, and we collectively have noted the outstanding work that Katrina and Sargent have done.
We look forward to working with Sargent in the future on other Iberdrola projects.
Edward J. Cherian
Project Manager
