The purpose of groundwater monitoring (detection monitoring) is to detect the release of a contaminant from a waste disposal facility.  Using the appropriate statistical procedure is essential in the evaluation of a facility’s groundwater quality data. 

The Carel Corporation is an industry leader in statistical analysis of environmental data.  We provide statistical analysis services to more than 60 waste disposal facilities in multiple states across the country.  Our clients include numerous municipal solid waste landfills, several hazardous waste facilities, industrial disposal facilities and construction/demolition waste facilities.  Most notable, our statistical professionals are educated and experienced in other sciences such as geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, etc.  This permits us to better understand the potential natural changes to groundwater quality that may affect the statistical results.
