Mundell & Associates personnel have been involved in the assessment and remediation of chemical releases associated with industrial, auto salvage, scrap yard and similar sites since the early 1980s. Not only can these chemicals be persistent in the soil, groundwater and surface water media they impact, but the pathways through which they migrate are often complex and difficult to assess without a multifaceted approach.
We believe the integration of engineering, geology/geophysics, toxicology, hydrogeology and economics principles should all be considered to best assess the extent and pathways of such impacts. Using risk-based concepts, exposure routes can be assessed to evaluate what (if any) remedial measures are warranted to reduce risk, liability and threat to surrounding human health and the environment.
Our services geared for the industrial and auto industries help assure you are in compliance with all appropriate regulations and that the appropriate measures are taken to respond to releases in a cost effective and liability reducing manner.
