BROWNFIELD DEVELOPERS BREATHING EASIER SOON? CALIFORNIA ATTENUATION FACTOR FOR VAPOR INTRUSION
|
|
In February, staff from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) published an article in a technical journal (Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation) that suggested that vapor attenuation in California is different from what is observed nationwide by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Publication of the data and the findings is an important step in revising the current vapor intrusion guidelines that stalled the development of brownfield properties in the state.

In Memoriam to David Stadler
|
by Brian Everett, OPC/TranSystems
|
|
|
|
On August 1, 2022, the world lost a true pioneer in relocation services, David Stadler.
|
David Stadler was one of the original founders of Pacific Relocation Consultants, which later becoming Overland, Pacific & Cutler in 2003. Over his long career as a relocation advisor, he was well-loved by his peers and respected for his knowledge of the Uniform Act and relocation law. We take solace and pride in the incredible legacy that he left behind, the impact that his work has had across LA County and the state, and the contributions he made to building OPC.
|
|
In 1980, David Stadler founded Pacific Relocation Consultants, which he grew into one of the largest and most respected relocation assistance firms in California. David Stadler was later joined at the helm by Barry McDaniel, Steve Oliver, Marek Karon, and Mark La Bonte. As Pacific Relocation Consultants, the firm had participated in such landmark projects as the World Trade Center in Long Beach, the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Petco Park in San Diego, and the expansion of LA Metro’s light rail system.
