4. CNS ISSUED- FORGETTING SOMETHING?  Activity and use limitation for the VI pathway AUL

5. VAPOR INTRUSION(VI) “TOTAL RECALL”  VI risk identified for current or reasonably anticipated uses  Remedy needed if the VI risk exceeded applicable standards

6. WHICH REMEDY OPTION  Active remedy completed? Source removed Verified that VI pathway not an issue to on or off property receptors

7. VAPOR RISK REMOVED?  If so, done!!  NFA letter issued w/o further VI remedy

8. ACTIVE REMEDY NOT TAKEN?  Could not reach source due to buildings or other site features  Cost  Development unknown

9. ACTIVITY & USE LIMITATION?  If the NFA letter didn’t demonstrate future buildings complies with VI standards  Assess VI risk once development becomes known

10. ‘VI PATHWAY AUL’  Limitation on building occupancy – remedy or demonstration obligation  Occupancy may occur after: Engineering control installed and made subject to O&M plan and agreement or Demonstration by CP that no (more) remedy is needed to meet the standards

11. TIME FOR NEW BUILDING?  Which AUL option fits? Active remedy? Engineering control?

12. WHICH-WITCH TO CHOOSE? *DEPENDS ON SITE* Ready – Fly Away Wait – Fatten Up

13. CP DEMO ‘READY TO FLY’  After CNS, a new building is planned  Assessment (active remedy, if needed) supports that VI standards are met without any controls  CP makes demonstration

14.  Newer CNS with O&M Agreement already in place? SWAP OUT PARTS  Newer CNS without Agreement? CONSTRUCT  Older CNS or older Agreement? REBUILD O&M TO CREATE?

15. TRACK “A” AGREEMENT EXISTS?  AUL prohibits building occupancy until… engineering controls are under O&M plan and agreement  Does Agreement allow Volunteer to change plan - without change to agreement?

16. TRACK “B” AGREEMENT BREWING?  O&M plan just wasn’t needed for NFA letter (AUL used)  So…with future building, brew up O&M plan and agreement  Execute agreement, amend CNS

17.  Older O&M agreements do not allow for Volunteer’s major change to O&M plan without others’ permission  Options exist for those wanting to account for new remedies CATCH ALL

18.  CPs can help volunteers and owners understand the AUL obligations – and not void their CNS!  Avoid ‘the chase’ to demonstrate an engineering control is effective or to develop O&M documents DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD OR YOUR CNS
