EPA is inviting the public to provide 

comments on the development of final 

guidance for Evaluating Vapor Intrusion 

to Indoor Air Pathway from 

Contaminated Groundwater and Soil 

(Subsurface Vapor Intrusion Guidance). 

A draft version of the Subsurface Vapor 

Intrusion Guidance was released in 

November 2002 (67 FR 71169), and a 

docket was established for public 

comments: Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

RCRA–2002–0033. The 2002 draft is 

available from the docket (http:// 

www.regulations.gov) and at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/ 

correctiveaction/eis/vapor.htm. 

EPA is planning to issue the final 

Subsurface Vapor Intrusion Guidance by 

November 30, 2012 and has re-opened 

the docket for public comment. 

Comments previously provided to the 

docket on the 2002 draft of the 

Subsurface Vapor Intrusion Guidance, 

and any comment provided to the 

docket before May 14, 2011, will be 

considered in the development of the 

final document. The public will also be 

given an opportunity to provide 

comments on a new draft of the 

guidance in the spring of 2012. Details 

on how to provide new comments to the 

docket are provided under ADDRESSES. 

EPA has prepared a document 

entitled Review of the Draft 2002 

Subsurface Vapor Intrusion Guidance, 

which summarizes EPA’s current 

understanding of the portions of the 

2002 Draft Subsurface Vapor Intrusion 

Guidance that remain valid and those 

that may need to be updated. In 

addition to updating portions of the 

2002 draft, EPA plans to incorporate the 

following information at the 

recommendation of its Inspector 

General (Report No. 10–P–042): 

• Updated toxicity values; 

• A recommendation(s) to use 

multiple lines of evidence in evaluating 

and making decisions about risk from 

vapor intrusion; 

• How risk from petroleum 

hydrocarbons should be addressed; 

• How the guidance applies to 

Superfund Five-Year reviews; 

• When or whether preemptive 

mitigation is appropriate; 

• Operations and maintenance of 

mitigation systems, the termination of 

the systems, and when institutional 

controls and deed restrictions are 

appropriate. 

The public may want to provide 

comments on the 2002 draft Subsurface 

Vapor Intrusion Guidance, the 

information that the Inspector General 

has suggested incorporating into the 

final guidance, or other information that 

EPA should consider when developing 

the final version of the guidance. 

II. Background 

Vapor intrusion can occur when there 

is migration of volatile chemicals from 

contaminated groundwater or soil into a 

building. Volatile chemicals may 

include volatile organic compounds, 

select semi-volatile organic compounds, 

and under certain conditions some 

inorganic compounds, such as 

elemental mercury, radon, and 

hydrogen sulfide. Additional 

information about vapor intrusion can 

be found at http://www.epa.gov/oswer/ 

vaporintrusion. 

III. Listening Session 

In addition to seeking written 

comments, an internet and telephoneaccessible public listening session will 

be held on April 11, 2011. The listening 

session will be held at the conference 

center in EPA’s Potomac Yard South 

Building located at: 2777 Crystal Drive, 

Arlington, VA 22202. The listening 

session will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 

approximately 5 p.m. 

The purpose of the listening session 

will be to allow all interested parties to 

provide comments on the development 

on the final Subsurface Vapor Intrusion 

Guidance. Advanced registration is 

requested for those wishing to attend 

the listening session. Registration can be 

by internet at http://www.epa.gov/ 

oswer/vaporintrusion, by e-mail at 

foster.stiven@epa.gov, by phone 202–

Intrusion Guidance Listening Session,’’

and contact information. When you 

register, please indicate if you would 

like to make oral comments at the 

session. In general, each oral comment 

should be no more than 15 minutes in 

length. If, however, there are more 

requests for oral comments than the 

allotted time allows, the time limit for 

comments will be adjusted. Written 

comments will also be accepted at the 

listening sessions. A copy of the agenda 

for the listening session will be 

available at the meeting. If no speakers 

have registered by five calendar days 

prior to the listening session, it will be
