As the science of vapor intrusion evolves, states continue to update their guidance, policies, and regulations: New Jersey and Ohio released revised guidance in late 2011; Michigan issued its draft guidance this summer; Illinois is expected to finalize its rulemaking later this year; and Pennsylvania is expected to release its updated guidance early next year. ASTM released a new standard in 2010 for investigating vapor intrusion for real estate transactions. EPA is expected to release its new guidance, last updated in 2001, at the end of this year. As the science of vapor intrusion continues to evolve and states continue to update their guidance, professionals involved in vapor intrusion sites need to stay on top of it all. What is the process for a vapor intrusion investigation? What is the science behind such an investigation? How will these new regulations influence such investigations? Join us for an expert panel that will discuss the science of vapor intrusion, how vapor intrusion investigations are completed, new and anticipated guidance and regulations at the state and federal levels, and case studies of various vapor intrusion investigations.

Mark Distler, Senior Vice President, O’Brien & Gere (moderator)
Richard Kapuscinski, Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation, EPA
Megan Conlon McCulloch, Partner, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn
