Added Management Presence needed for Future Growth Plans

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Bruce Beattie, interim President of Environmental Tec International, S.A. de C.V. (ETI), a wholly owned subsidiary company of Sub Surface Waste Management of Delaware, Inc. (OTCBB:SSWM), stated that ETI intends to increase the Board of Directors from three to five and add new directors with financial and business development experience in Mexico to meet future growth plans. The new board members will be tasked to oversee the execution of current business and the development of new commercial and governmental business opportunities with additional resident new management as needed.

Board members will include Bruce Beattie, CEO of SSWM and Robert Brehm, BSEE, MSEE, MBA, and CEO of U.S. Microbics, Inc. (OTCBB:BUGS), parent company of SSWM.

ETI has invited and nominated two additional candidates who include:

Fernando Serrano, Managing Principal of Perla Capital Group, LLC (see http://www.perlacapitalgroup.com). Fernando is a Co-Founder and Managing Principal for Perla Capital Group LLC, an international investment banking advisory firm, responsible for origination, deal execution, research, and underwriting. Fernando has participated in the origination and execution of nearly $3.5 billion dollars in investment banking, corporate finance, and merger and acquisition transactions. Fernando has served on the Advisory Board of both public and privately held companies and has established key relationships with domestic and international private investor partnerships in Asia, Europe and Latin America, in addition to institutional and private equity investors, money center banks, and prominent Wall Street investment banking firms such as Goldman Sachs & Co., Credit Suisse First Boston, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley.

Dr. Ricardo Lorden, a 25 plus year veteran established in Mexico with a proven track record representing U.S. "Fortune 500" companies. Ricardo first went to Mexico working for David Rockefeller and his family trust and created a client following that recognized his talent for helping them execute profitable business relationships and solve problems inherent when operating in emerging economies such as Mexico. Ricardo was instrumental in helping craft the NAFTA environmental regulations in the late 1990's and was recognized by President Bill Clinton for these efforts and presently consults to State Governors and Key Federal Officials to attract foreign capital and technology companies to help build Mexico's employment and economy.

The new candidate's board positions are subject to ETI/SSWM Board approval and compliance with the relevant provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for subsidiaries operating in foreign countries.

Bruce Beattie, CEO commented, "Our strategic plan for business south of the border is maturing as we recognize additional environmental service opportunities in both the governmental and commercial sectors. We know that a strong management team guided by an experienced Board of Directors is paramount to executing a successful business plan. Both Fernando Serrano and Ricardo Lorden are experienced candidates who can help ETI reach its strategic financial objectives. I look forward to welcoming both of them to the ETI Board in the near future."
