Guadeloupe Dunes Oil Field (Santa Maria, California)

The beneficiaries of a trust that owned the Guadeloupe Dunes oil field, but leased it to a major oil company, retained EnviroForensics® to conduct an EIR review and provide project management services. The project included review of all soil and groundwater investigation activities at the site as well as determining the potential impacts of the remedial alternatives to the sensitive ecosystem. In addition, EnviroForensics® provided litigation support on matters pertaining to the potential purchase and sale of the site. EnviroForensics® was able to provide the technical expertise to support further site characterization and remedial efforts despite rigorous opposition by the past operators. This allowed the client to maintain an accelerated project schedule and resulted in the sale of the site.

EnviroForensics’ work enabled the client to develop a working relationship with the regulatory agencies, resulting in a greater enforcement by the agencies and an increase inremediation efforts at the site.
