SERDP and ESTCP Workshop on Vapor Intrusion into Indoor Air from Contaminated Groundwater

Abstract

The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) are the Department of Defense's (DoD) environmental research programs (herein referred to as The Programs ), harnessing the latest science and technology to improve DoD s environmental performance, reduce costs, and enhance and sustain mission capabilities. The Programs fund basic and applied research as well as field demonstration and validation efforts addressing DoD s most prevalent environmental needs. For additional information, refer to www.serdp-estcp.org. The Workshop on Vapor Intrusion into Indoor Air from Contaminated Groundwater was sponsored by The Programs and held in Tempe, Arizona on 19 December 2013. The goal of the workshop was to develop a path forward for investments and technology transfer by SERDP & ESTCP in vapor intrusion assessment. Specific questions to answer included: What additional research is warranted in this area, if any? Are there additional technology or methodology demonstrations needed to move the field forward to implementation of key concepts? What interactions need to take place with the end users? Are additional guidance documents, training, and or seminars needed? The workshop s agenda focused on the research needed to deal more efficiently with the characterization and mitigation of sites impacted by contaminant vapor intrusion, with overall objectives to: (1) Review the current status of The Programs funded efforts on vapor intrusion, and (2) Discuss future research and demonstration needs to improve our ability to properly assess the vapor intrusion pathway and indoor air concentrations. Approximately 25 invited experts representing DoD remedial program managers (RPMs), state regulators, engineers, academic researchers, and consultants attended the workshop. The agenda from the workshop is found in Appendix A, and the attendee list is provided in Appendix B.
