Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study at Former Parks Air Force Base Formerly Used Defense Site, Alameda County, California

Burleson is completing an RI/FS to support the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) at two areas of interest at the Former Parks AFB Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) in Dublin, California. Historical records and maps from 1945 indicate that these areas were the sites of a burn pit and a sanitary landfill; however, there are no historical records for what may have been burned or put into the landfill.

Burleson is working closely with USACE and California Department of Toxic Substances Control and encourages community and stakeholder participation. Our geologists and engineers evaluated historical photos, area topography, and data from previous site investigations to develop an RI/FS sampling strategy for soil, groundwater, and soil gas to assess the extent of any Department of Defense-related site contamination. Burleson staff will make use of our expertise and 20+ years of experience to characterize the nature of DoD contaminants, any threats to human and ecological health, and identify, develop, evaluate, and select any necessary remediation alternatives.

Client Satisfaction

"Burleson Consulting was excellent to work with and very professional. They assembled a top-notch team of experts to study and propose solutions to the water supply challenges at Sutter National Wildlife Refuge. The communication was excellent throughout the project. This included project staff, contracting personnel, and interested stakeholders. As a result, the project was completed on time and on budget. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Burleson Consulting in the future."Kevin Clancy, Project Manager – United States Bureau of Reclamation

"Burleson provided exceptional services under this contract. Because of their successful work, they were awarded a $7M follow-on IDIQ contract in 2014, that also encompasses biological monitoring at former Fort Ord. They have consistently improved their plant material collection and propagation techniques and pass the savings onto the federal government. Burleson is a valuable team member on Fort Ord and I feel that they are true stewards of the environment." William K. Collins, BRAC Environmental Coordinator, US Army Corps of Engineers

"Burleson has been able to work with several government agencies (to include tribal groups and natural resource trustees) and several responsible parties to assist in progressing this site to a stage where technical and agency concerns can be identified and resolved. Strengths – overall and in depth understanding of mine site and CERCLA dynamics. Deficiencies – none. I would not hesitate to use Burleson." Daniel McMindes, USACE Liaison to EPA, US Army Corps of Engineers

"Burleson helped to manage the Sacramento Area Voltage Support Environmental Impact Statement. They came through and were always available during an ‘energy crisis’ in California. I will continue to work with them."Loreen McMahon, Project Manager - California Public Utilities Commission

"We appreciated Burleson’s great work, re: completing the draft EIR on the scheduled date (it was a tremendous task, but they completed it). All of them put a lot of work into it (it was a true team effort). They should all be proud of this accomplishment given the changes and obstacles encountered along the way, and I cannot thank them enough."Glenn M. Shuder, AIA, CFM, Chief Architect - Project Director, SMUD
