Commodore Applied Technologies Completes PCB-Contaminated Soil Treatment
In Hawaii

NEW YORK, May 17 -/E-Wire/-- Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc. (Amex: 
CXI, CXI.WS) today announced that it has treated polychlorinated biphenyl
(PCB) contaminated soil at the Lualualei Naval Radio Transmitting Facility
in Oahu, Hawaii under their contract with Tetra Tech EM, Inc. (Nasdaq: WATR).

Using its SL/2 mobile treatment unit, Commodore treated eight different
soil types with PCB levels ranging from 10 ppm to 8,000 ppm. Five batches
were treated to below 1 ppm, which meets EPA requirements for replacement
in residential locations. Two batches of soil were treated to PCB levels
below 2 ppm. One batch was treated to 11 ppm. Commodore is in the process
of demonstrating that by utilizing one of SET(TM)'s processing
alternatives, that all soil types can be treated to residential replacement
standards. CXI believes that these results should lead to CXI's opportunity
to bid on the multi-million dollar remediation program that may be in
excess of 10,000 cubic yards of PCB contaminated soils in Hawaii.

"These results once again validate the positive results achievable by our
SET(TM) technology and hopefully will move us closer towards an U.S.
Department of Defense facility contract", said Paul E. Hannesson, Commodore
Chairman & CEO of CXI.
