Geochemical Modeling

SSP&A has designed sampling and analysis plans to determine groundwater and basalt chemistry, performed geochemical reactive transport modeling to predict the types and consequences of chemical reactions during ASR operations, and identified mitigation measures in cases where chemical incompatibilities between recharge water and basalt have been identified.

ASR is a water resource management strategy used in central California to make use of a source water, such as spring snowmelt that flows in rivers and canals.

SSP&A was retained to estimate and depict the lateral extent and the volume of radiologically-impacted material (RIM) within Areas 1 and 2 of Operable Unit 1 (OU-1) at West Lake Landfill Site

The USDOE Hanford Site transitioned over decades from a Manhattan Project mission to environmental assessment and cleanup. SSP&A was initially engaged to assess groundwater conditions and develop and apply models to design, evaluate, and optimize groundwater remedies for CERCLA operable units across the Hanford Site.
