Natural Attenuation Prediction Enables Site Closure at Significant Cost Savings

Case HistoriesPosted on April 1, 2012

Mundell developed an innovative corrective action plan that predicted monitored natural attenuation would clean the site of a former Department of Transportation (DOT) maintenance facility. IDEM awarded the site the first closure in the State of Indiana using its new RISC guidelines and for this work, Mundell and the City of Indianapolis were also awarded the 1999 A.I.Levorsen Memorial Award by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, its top environmental prize presented annually for work that, in the opinion of the AAPG, advances the state-of-the-art in the environmental field……Read More »

Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon Distribution – Superfund Site

Case HistoriesPosted on April 1, 2012

Mundell personnel were hired by the Koppers Company as expert witnesses to investigate data gaps, determine chemical source contributions as well as develop life-cycle remedial cost estimates, and testify in the trial proceedings for a lawsuit involving insurance coverage for impacted wood treatment sites. Mundell developed a three-dimensional model of the distribution of various organic chemicals across the site and using the Earth Vision software estimated the mass of site-specific contaminants of concern (COCs) that remained in the soil and groundwater. Ultimately, the analysis was used to support source contribution analysis, and assign liability for the costs of cleanup……Read More »

Hydrogeologic Analysis – Potential Impacts to Town’s Residential Wells

Case HistoriesPosted on April 1, 2012

Mundell performed an evaluation of the geologic setting of the town of Greens Fork, IN to provide a preliminary estimate of the potential contaminant release trajectories from two facilities of interest: a landfill and a veal processing plant. Mundell then constructed an estimated groundwater surface (potentiometric) map within the upper aquifer system of Greens Fork……Read More »

Modeling Provides Confidence In Risk Assessment

Case HistoriesPosted on April 1, 2012

Mundell provided litigation support and expert witness testimony in a case involving a gasoline release from a Clark Oil service station in Clarkston, Michigan that affected nearly 200 residents in the area. As part of the representation, Mundell developed a regional two-dimensional groundwater flow model and a chemical transport model that proved the potential impacts were confined to an area in close proximity to the station, and the remaining area would not be threatened……Read More »

Air Sparging and Soil Venting Provides Rapid Cleanup at Petroleum Site

Case HistoriesPosted on March 16, 2012

Mundell personnel rapidly designed and installed an aggressive air-sparging / soil vapor extraction system to remediate the heavily impacted groundwater and soil beneath a 60-year old regional petroleum retailer in Indianapolis, Indiana……Read More »
