Portfolio

Mundell & Associates is a small consulting company with large-company credentials and significant experience with some of the most challenging and diverse environmental concerns.

Our project portfolio (which includes case histories, publications, and presentations) covers the world and includes time sensitive investigations as well as long term remediation and monitoring. Clients benefit from a cross disciplinary approach to problem solving and depend on our abilities to communicate complex scientific and engineering principles.

All Case Histories

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 »
