OVERVIEW OF THE DOCKET OF COMMENTS ON
EPA’S EXTERNAL REVIEW DRAFT VAPOR INTRUSION GUIDANCE

I’ve just finished going through the Comment Docket for EPA’s Final  
Vapor Intrusion Guidance. See http://www.regulations.gov/#! 
docketDetail;D=EPA-HQ-RCRA-2002-0033.

I skimmed most of the documents, ignored many of the detailed  
suggestions, and paid scant attention to comments on the Petroleum  
guidance alone. There are actually far fewer than the 177 comments  
counted in the docket. There are many redundancies, and the docket  
includes comments submitted before the April 2013 external review  
draft was circulated. Still, it’s a lot of material.

Though it will delay finalization of the Guidance, I believe EPA was  
right to circulate the External Review draft for public comment.  
There are innumerable good questions and suggestions. If EPA has the  
resources to carefully consider each point, it will create a better  
final document.
