Regional Chlorinated Solvent Plume, Los Angeles, California Performed a hydrologic assessment and geochemical fingerprinting analysis of chlorinated solvents and other compounds to delineate multiple sources in an area with complex structural geology and groundwater flow.

Litigation Support

Natural Resource Damage Litigation, Washington County, Minnesota Supported an NRD litigation case, which involved researching the history and remediation of the Washington County Landfill and evaluating surface water and groundwater PFAS data for source characterization.
Assessment of Hydrocarbon Release at a Natural Gas Storage Facility, Los Angeles, California Provided project management and technical support for a litigation case involving an insurance settlement following a large release of gas from a storage facility.
Paper Mill, Michigan Provided technical support for a litigation case, including analysis of chlorinated hydrocarbon data in river sediment.
Smelter Site, Tacoma, Washington Provided site characterization support at a former smelter facility. Evaluated geochemistry and distribution of site data and identified a complete and appropriate data set, which led to correctly characterizing the site. As part of a large bankruptcy litigation, supported preparation of expert testimony and aided the legal team at trial for this case.
Natural Gas Storage Reservoir, Wyoming Provided technical support for a litigation case involving natural gas migration within a storage facility. Reviewed data and evaluated geologic and geochemical data to characterize the site and the natural gas in the area.
Natural Gas Storage Reservoir, Kansas Geologist and project manager for a litigation case involving natural gas migration near a storage facility. Reviewed and evaluated geologic and geochemical data to characterize the site and the natural gas in the area.

Geochemistry

Regional Chlorinated Solvent Plume, Los Angeles, California Performed a hydrologic assessment and geochemical fingerprinting analysis of chlorinated solvents and other compounds to delineate multiple sources in an area with complex structural geology and groundwater flow.
Site Characterization and Remedial Design, California Created a 3-dimensional site conceptual model of a former dry cleaner site to aid delineation of chlorinated solvents in groundwater, plan investigative borings, and facilitate remedial design of the site.
Mine Tailings Characterization, Montana Characterized tailings deposits along two stream reaches to support ongoing litigation and allocation.

Mining

Multiple Mining Sites, Nevada Created cross sections for numerous sites to support site characterization and aid in the development of a groundwater model and understanding of subsurface flow.
Marigold Mine, Nevada Developed a regional, 3-dimensional geologic model (using Leapfrog Geo software) for the Battle Mountain region, including the Marigold mine. Provided hydrogeologic modeling support and assisted in report production.
Bald Mountain Mine, Nevada Created numerous cross sections and assisted in developing a 3-dimensional Vulcan block model of the subsurface geology.
