[CPEO-BIF] New Jersey finalizes vapor intrustion guidance

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

"The [New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection] has finalized
the Vapor Intrusion Guidance document to provide assistance in the
evaluation of contaminated sites. The document has been modified after
consideration of the latest state of the science and comments received
on the draft document after it was placed on the Web site for external
review in June 2005. 

"The document consists of a phased approach to investigate the vapor
intrusion (VI) pathway that follows the basic provisions of the USEPA
Draft Vapor Intrusion Guidance, while incorporating New Jersey specific
factors/policies, when appropriate. The guidance includes a discussion
of the VI pathway, VI screening levels to be used in the evaluation of a
site, sampling and analytical requirements, site-specific screening
options, remedial options, monitoring and maintenance requirements,
community outreach, and a methodology to evaluate background air
concentrations."

earlier this year, or to to download the guidance or its tables, go to
