Mundell & Associates, an environmental consulting firm, created a groundwater plume model to suggest where contamination from the former site of the Amphenol Corporation plant may have spread. "We're just trying to close the data gaps. Once those data gaps are closed, people can have a greater confidence that the situation that they've found out there has been delineated that it's been going to be properly remediated and that everyone can feel more at ease," said John Mundell, Mundell & Associates president.
