Project Overview

Data Acquisition

Analyses/  Modeling

This study is executing a comprehensive aquifer vulnerability and contamination potential assessment (VCPA) at the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort (MCAS) with the results of the assessment integrated into the installation’s Geographic Information System (GIS). The objective of the integration, which merges environmental and infrastructure GIS, is to facilitate the development of risk management plans, fulfill regulatory reporting requirements, and aid in answering public enquiries concerning environmental issues within and surrounding the MCAS. This project correlates pertinent environmental data already held by the MCAS and new information collected by this study to create a comprehensive, site-wide model of the groundwater, surface water and hydrogeology of the air base.
