AIKEN, S.C. – Thirty-nine residents of counties surrounding the Savannah River Site are now employees of Savannah River Remediation (SRR), thanks to the company's participation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) sponsored Superfund Job Training Initiative.

The job training initiative was designed to provide access to employment opportunities to residents in counties surrounding the Savannah River Site. The employees were from Aiken, Allendale, Edgefield, Hampton and Orangeburg Counties in South Carolina and Richmond County in Georgia.
