IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS (Electronically Filed: August 1, 2006) ******************************************* * SEVENSON ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, * INC., * * Plaintiff, * * v. * * THE UNITED STATES, * * Defendant * * *******************************************

No.: 05-1075C Judge Thomas C. Wheeler

MOTION TO INTERVENE Shaw Environmental, Inc. ("Shaw") seeks to intervene in the above-referenced matter as a Party Defendant pursuant to Rule 24 of the Rules of the Court of Federal Claims. Shaw's intervention is proper under the mandatory intervention requirements of Rule 24(a), and the permissive intervention standard of Rule 24(b). Shaw's participation in this case will not delay the proceedings or unfairly prejudice the rights of the original parties. Plaintiff has indicated that it will oppose the intervention; Defendant does not oppose Shaw's intervention. For these reasons and others discussed in the accompanying memorandum, Shaw prays that the Court enter an order granting Shaw's intervention as a matter of right under Rule 24(a). In the alternative, Shaw prays for an order granting it permission to intervene pursuant to Rule 24(b).
