Remediation Projects - Impacted Groundwater Sites
Former Historic Truck Stop-Groundwater Basin Analysis back Client: Hensley Estate, Santa Barbara, California Solution: BEAR took over the project and obtained regional groundwater data. Based on the review, the limited work did not reflect the actual soil and groundwater conditions. The regional groundwater data showed that the groundwater elevations had increased as much as 12 feet and started to drop. The previous work had been conducted when the groundwater elevation was near its highest point. When BEAR took over the site, the groundwater elevation had dropped below the bottom of the existing wells. The work we performed proved that gasoline and diesel fuels were smeared into the soils under the groundwater and free phase gasoline was floating on the groundwater. BEAR also showed that the floating gasoline posed a direct threat to a nearby drinking water well. A work plan for site remediation was submitted to the state agency. |
