Risk Management
MUNDELL & ASSOCIATES, INC. personnel have been involved in the performance of risk assessments since the 1980's. With expertise in the development of appropriate site assessment sampling strategies to gather valid concetration and migratory pathway data, the design of predictive laboratory batch and column leaching studies, and the formulation of site-specific geolchemical solubility models for realistic contaminant migration prediction, MUNDELL personnel have successfully completed numerous risk assessments throughout the United States.
Many of these assessments have been instrumental in allowing the U.S. EPA and other regulatory agencies to consider alternative strategies for site remediation. MUNDELL personnel have also 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.
