Analysis of Groundwater Contamination by Highway Flare Manufacturing Plant


HydroAnalysis completed a comprehensive assessment of historical activities at a highway flare manufacturing facility and the relationship between those activities and a 10-mile-long plume of perchlorate-contaminated groundwater. We developed a groundwater database using EnviroInsite data visualization software and completed an analysis of the plume history during historical periods of differing water withdrawal and recharge. Dr. Shanahan presented our findings as an expert witness in a lawsuit concerning damages caused by the facility.

This project was completed on behalf of a group of insurance company defendants through their attorney, Christie, Pabarue, Mortensen & Young.
