U.S. Can contracted with Mundell to perform a human-health risk assessment of existing residual soil and groundwater impacts at its facility in Burns Harbor, Indiana. As part of this work, Mundell completed an exposure assessment that modeled groundwater flow, contaminant transport and indoor air vapor intrusion, and predicted potential receptors of impacted groundwater moving offsite……Read More »
Investigation and Remediation Portfolio
3-D Characterization of Contaminant Distribution Guides Future Sampling and Remediation Efforts
Mundell developed a three-dimensional model of the distribution of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs) for an active rail yard in Kentucky to support additional site sampling and remediation strategies……Read More »
Human-Health Risk Assessment – Herndon Harbor House
Mundell performed a human-health risk assessment for the development and subsequent habitation of a housing facility for the elderly at a site with known petroleum hydrocarbon soil and groundwater contamination in Herndon, Virginia. Exposure calculations indicated that the presence of a well-maintained, un-cracked foundation slab properly sealed with appropriate vapor and moisture barriers used with a passive ventilation system should reduce potential health risks to below acceptable levels……Read More »
Salt Runoff and Discharge Impacts on Groundwater and Surface Drinking Water Supply – Eagle Creek Reservoir
Mundell completed both surface water and groundwater modeling, chemical transport analyses, and field measurements of chloride concentrations and specific conductance to determine the expected level of impact near the site bank and discharge areas……Read More »
Natural Attenuation Prediction Enables Site Closure at Significant Cost Savings
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 »
