Challenge

Geo-Logic Associates has been assisting Basic Remediation Company (BRC) and The Landwell Company since 2005 with environmental restoration of their properties near a former industrial complex in Henderson, Nevada. The historical industrial operations supported WWII with magnesium production for warplanes and other applications.  The properties were formerly used for liquid waste disposal and have since been developed into a 2,000-acre residential community of homes, schools, parks, trails, and retail space. GLA assists BRC/Landwell with comprehensive soil and groundwater characterization, risk assessment, data management, remediation planning, and regulatory interaction.

Solution

GLA staff have provided hydrogeologic and environmental consulting services to the client since 2005 to resolve a wide range of challenges facing this large-scale property development, including a comprehensive hydrogeologic site characterization, conceptual model development, design and oversight of aquifer testing, groundwater flow and solute transport modeling, geophysical surveying, soil and groundwater remedial investigations, soil background quality evaluation, and remedial alternative studies.

We would not have made it this far without your valuable participation and contribution as a member of our Restoration Advisory Committee…”.

Results

With GLA’s assistance, Landwell is closing in on the final steps in the regulatory program and restoration process for their Henderson portfolio. The properties are now the active CADENCE community. 

Having served as BRC’s trusted advisor on this project for so long–nearly two decades–it’s been rewarding to see how far the site has come.
