Hydrogeological and Hydrology

Hydrogeological and Hydrology Assessments:
Land Management Group, Inc. performs groundwater modeling for the
purpose of hydrogeologic mounding analyses for small and large scale
wastewater disposal sites, stormwater systems and wetland hydrology
using programs such as ModFlow, DrainMod, & Colorado State mounding
analysis. These analyses also utilize Remote Data Systems (RDS) automated shallow groundwater level recording instruments.

As part of LMGs wetland determination, the use of automated wells by
RDS are used to verify the presence or absence of wetland hydrology on
altered sites relating to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction or
wetland mitigation success criteria, rainfall analyses are also
performed to quantify the normal periods of precipitation. RDS
instrument users can download and e-mail their water level data to LMG
for a graphical presentation and analysis relating to wetland
jurisdication as well as issues with seasonal high water tables for
septic system permitting and stormwater evaluations.

LMG routinely conducts surface water and groundwater sampling to
characterize ambient biological and physiochemical parameters. LMG is
capable of in situ water analyses utilizing protocols established by
State Agencies and scientific literature. Water samples requiring
further laboratory analyses are contracted with a State certified
laboratory using EPA and APHA techniques.

Individual site assessments have been used to help identify potential
contaminants from point and non-point source discharge as well as
aiding in the determination of SA waters for stormwater regulation.
Land Management Group has been involved in a variety of water quality
monitoring projects including long term water quality assessment of
innovative stormwater treatment design and dissolved oxygen modeling
for marina feasibility analysis. Water quality studies at LMG are site
specific according to the needs and goals of each project.
