1 Indoor Air Vapor Intrusion 101 Dean C. Miller Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP

2 Soil Vapor Intrusion Prime Directive Soil enters structures because the air- pressure in the structure is lower than the air pressure in the soil

3 1.Cracks in solid floors 2.Construction joints 3.Cracks in walls 4.Gaps in suspended floors 5.Gaps around service pipes 6.Cavities inside walls 7.The water supply

4 Factors that Enhance Soil-Vapor Intrusion Stack Effect Combustion Appliances Exhaust Fans Unbalanced HVAC Systems

7 Evolving Indoor Air Action Levels 1,1-DCE – In 2004, CDPHE increased indoor air action level from 0.49  g/m 3 5.0  g/m 3 TCE – >1.6  g/m 3 triggers mitigation 0.8  g/m 3 to 1.6  g/m 3 triggers further study < 0.8  g/m 3 – Continued monitoring not required

8 Evolving Indoor Air Action Levels “No Further Action” determination can be issued if indoor-air TCE levels are below background or within EPA 1X10 -6 proposed range
