Petroleum Vapor Intrusion 2013 Springfield Environmental Summit Valerie Garrett Technical Environmental Specialist Hazardous Waste Program, Tanks Section
2
The Petroleum Vapor Intrusion Pathway Must be Evaluated at All Petroleum Storage Tank Release Sites Typically the Pathway that Drives the Cleanup
3
Source EPA
4
What Changes are in the Works? Federal Level EPA is developing a PVI Guidance ITRC is developing a broader PVI Guidance State Level MDNR has compiled its own stakeholder group
5
In 2002, EPA Drafted a Vapor Intrusion Guidance Developed Mainly for Chlorinated Sites Primary Difference between CVI & PVI Biodegradation Petroleum Specific VI Guidance needed
6
EPA Approach Developed & Analyzed Empirical Database Established Inclusion Distances Vertical (6 ft for dissolved, 15 ft for LNAPL) Lateral/Horizontal (projection/extrapolation) Selected Concentrations Indicating LNAPL Groundwater 5 ppm Benzene & 30 ppm TPH Soil 10 ppm Benzene & 250 ppm TPH

11
What is Missouri Doing? PVI Stakeholder Group, contemplating similar changes 2 of the Members are also on ITRC PVI Team
