Investigation – Rapid Delineation of MTBE Plume

Case HistoriesPosted on June 24, 2015

Mundell initiated an expedited site investigation at a petroleum facility location near an elementary school to delineate the extent of an MTBE plume and implement remedial measures. By completing over 131 direct-push soil borings and sampling 45 monitoring wells across a wide area, Mundell was able to limit the number of groundwater monitoring wells to the precise number necessary for long-term monitoring and to complete the investigation in approximately half the normal time……Read More »

Reducing Long-Term Monitoring Costs – Modifying the Sampling Program as COCs Change

Case HistoriesPosted on June 24, 2015

Mundell successfully negotiated with the regulatory agency at a LUST site to remove unnecessary sampling of one SVOC compand. This analysis saved the client more than $17,000 per year in sampling while still adequately monitoring the contaminants of concern in the groundwater……Read More »

Wind Farm Area Assessment – Benton County, Indiana

Case HistoriesPosted on June 24, 2015

Mundell performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) over a tract of land in Benton County for a proposed wind energy conversion facility. This unique ESA included special ‘large-tract’ observation techniques and records searches. Results of the Phase I ESA allowed for the future development of the Benton County Wind Farm, with no significant environmental concerns observed that would hinder the proposed construction within this area……Read More »

Wellfield Exploration for an Ethanol Plant using Deep 2-D Resistivity

Case HistoriesPosted on June 24, 2015

Mundell was contracted to use geophysical methods to locate potential wellfields for an ethanol plant in central Indiana, within a three square mile area. Mundell used two-dimensional electrical resistivity (2D resistivity) profiling to locate aquifer bearing material in this area. A single test well, located in the recommended drilling area, consistently yielded 1000 gallons per minute, which was more than sufficient to satisfy the demand of the ethanol plant……Read More »

Wellfield Exploration for a Town Water Supply

Case HistoriesPosted on June 24, 2015

Mundell was contacted to provide geophysical exploration services to increase the likelihood of finding productive aquifer materials for test drilling in a growing town in central Indiana. Mundell used 2D electrical resistivity imaging to quantify the resistivity of the upper 75 meters of the subsurface. Drilling yielded several hundred gallons per minute, a result that exceeded client expectations……Read More »
