Erler & Kalinowski, Inc. (EKI) services

EKI provides environmental litigation support.  For certain properties where EKI has conducted investigative and remedial actions we have acted as fact witnesses that facilitated our clients recouping their expenses pursuant to purchase and sales contracts, lease agreements, or private party cost recovery rights available under CERCLA.  We have also served as expert witnesses on projects involving the source and extent of contamination, appropriateness of remedial actions taken, and allocation of costs.  In addition to giving depositions and testimony during trial or alternate dispute resolution, EKI can assist clients and their counsel with establishing the technical strategy to support their case, creating inventories and managing documents with Summation^® or other commercially available software, and preparing exhibits and expert reports.

EKI provides litigation support services and expert testimony relating to water supply issues and groundwater resources.  In this capacity, EKI has developed groundwater models to assess impacts of extraction, performed sustainable yield assessments for groundwater basins, and utilized Landsat satellite imagery to assess cropping patterns and water usage in conjunction with Farm Service Association (“FSA”) records and evapotranspiration data.  Senior staff at EKI are currently serving as designated experts in groundwater basin adjudication proceedings in the Antelope Valley Groundwater Basin in California.
