Confidential Client: Another Real-Estate Transaction with Issues of Consultant Responsibility A large real estate company engaged an environmental consulting firm in Texas to conduct Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments for a large multi-property shopping center transaction. Initial findings by the consultant led the real-estate company to close on the deal. Subsequent investigations by a second consultant found DNAPL associated with dry-cleaners located on the properties. C&A was engaged to provide support in an evaluation of the initial consultant's activities in light of the consultant's experience, staff capability, field procedures and related ASTM guidelines and industry standard of care.

C&A was engaged to review the available sampling and hydrogeologic data and determined that the owner's consultant was less than forthcoming concerning the data used to characterize the ground-water conditions and the configuration of the plume of contamination. When using all of the relevant data, a major source of the contamination was found to be more likely an adjacent car-wash facility.
Confidential Client: Rights of Landowner of Sand-and-Gravel Properties A major sand-and-gravel company in Texas drilled on portions of a potential lessor's land without permission on the basis that "the company was doing the land owner a favor." The company sued the land owner for breach of contract (i.e., alleged failure to honor their rights to conduct mining operations on the subject land). C&A reviewed the issues of the case and found that the company violated the landowner's rights to limit ingress according to standard industry practice.
Confidential Client: Failure of Production Water Well and Insurance Protection The failure of a high-capacity water well owned by a municipal utility district in Texas prompted management to turn to their insurance company for funds to replace the well, according to the terms of the policy. C&A conducted a preliminary investigation and found evidence to suggest that regional soft-sediment faulting caused the well structure to fail.
Confidential Client: Impact of Underground Coal Mining on Historic Old Growth Trees Underground coal mining was called into question on leases containing the last "old growth" trees in Ohio. Trees more than 300 years have deep, frail roots.

C&A was engaged to evaluate claims made by ex-EPA consultants for the plaintiffs that the NCP carried weight when applied to inland contamination in the mid-1970s.
Confidential Client: Liabilities of the Water-Supply Operator to the Community it Serves A municipal water supply operator in Texas was sued by the community it served for allegedly allowing benzene to be distributed in the water supply it provided. C&A was engaged to investigate the possible source of the benzene and determined that: 1) testing was not required by the operator, and hence did not know of the presence of benzene, and 2) the source of the benzene was likely the gas-producing formation below the drinking-water aquifer breached by overdrilling into the confining unit separating the aquifer from the gas-producing sand below.
Confidential Client: Contamination of Ground-Water Supplies by Nearby Oil & Gas Drilling A large landowner operating a cattle ranch in West Texas noticed increased salty ground water produced from water supply wells, which threatened the health of the cattle and the economic viability of the ranching operations.
