Mr. Campbell has performed investigations and provided technical support and associated reports on contaminant transport and hydrogeological conditions of hazardous constituents in a variety of geographical and geological settings. He has provided opinions on drilling and monitoring well installation and sampling, sampling of soils and sediments, on CERCLA and RCRA issues, including activities related to the National Contingency Plan (NCP). Mr. Campbell has also conducted forensic investigations on contaminated water supplies involving E. coli, Naegleria fowleri, and metals, and on the activities of consultants in conducting Phase I and II environmental investigations for real-estate or associated transactions.
