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.
