Risk Assessments

Human-health risk assessments are instrumental in allowing the U.S. EPA and other regulatory agencies to consider alternative strategies for site remediation.

Since the 1980 Mundell & Associates has been involved in the development of appropriate site assessment sampling strategies to gather valid concentration and migratory pathway data, the design of predictive laboratory batch and column leaching studies, and the formulation of site-specific geochemical solubility models for realistic contaminant migration prediction.

In addition to completing risk assessments, our personnel have participated in the development of the ASTM Risk-Based Corrective Action guidelines for petroleum release sites, the development of state regulatory policies related to risk management, and the evaluation of relative chemical risk for establishing guidelines for the implementation of local wellhead protection ordinances.
