As part of the pre-sale, due diligence environmental site assessments conducted over three petroleum production facilities, Mundell performed an EM-31 terrain conductivity survey across a total of 22 acres of rough terrain to delineate the lateral extent of any salt water impacts that may be present beneath three (3) sites, due to faulty tanks, piping, or engineering controls. Based on the electrical conductivity map, Mundell was able to approximate the acreage of impacts which would need to be remediated prior to the sale of the properties……Read More »

Drinking Water Supply and Quality – Selyanchina, Ukraine
Mundell provided manpower and funding for a Hydrogeologist to join a research team in northern Ukraine. The purpose of this small research team (4 members) was to examine various aspects of village life and develop specific plans for an American charity to provide targeted aid where it is most needed. The report of the research team was used to open discussions with the American charity and Ukrainian officials. As a result of the research team, several subsequent teams have been sent to continue working with local Ukrainian aid organizations and village leaders……Read More »
Expert Witness Testimony, Petroleum Storage Facility Litigation
Mundell was retained by a major law firm specializing in environmental law, to provide expert witness testimony in various legal proceedings relating to a release of petroleum at a major bulk storage facility in the Midwest. Mundell reviewed the groundwater model and the resulting conclusions, finding significant flaws in the construction of the model and the interpretation of the actual groundwater flow conditions. Mundell created various visual aids and models to effectively communicate the relatively complex hydrogeologic concepts to people with little to no geologic background including the litigants, judges, and potential jurors in the case. …..Read More »
Utility Mapping at an Active Industrial Facility
Mundell mapped out subfloor utilities and clear over forty (40) proposed soil boring locations at an active automotive production plant in Indianapolis, Indiana, as part of an ongoing environmental sampling program. Mundell selected ground penetrating radar (GPR) mapping to locate utilities across the site. This technique allowed for worry-free drilling, and also increased production, as many boring were moved to areas not containing reinforced concrete. …..Read More »
Site Assessment at a Former Gasoline Station
Mundell used EM-61 metal detection in conjunction with localized ground penetrating radar to characterize metal objects beneath a former gas station site. In the end, a single, 3,000 gallon UST was located and determined to be the source of significant soil and groundwater impacts across the site. The use of geophysics on this project was crucial to its successful completion……Read More »
