GW-2 Derivation
• Attenuation Factor, α = 5 x 10-4, applied to all chemicals with an additional adjustment factor, d, applied by DEP:
[OHM]gw = [OHM]air / (α x d x H x C)

Fitzpatrick & Fitzgerald
Studied 47 Sites:
– 55% chlorinated VOCs, 45% gasoline
– 52% residential– 2% schools– 46% commercial

Fitzpatrick & Fitzgerald, continued
Conclusions:
• Significant differences appear to exist between the fate/transport and impacts of chlorinated and non-chlorinated VOCs
• Attenuation Coefficients for chlorinated VOCs appear to be in the range of 1E-1 to 1E-3, significantly higher than the 5E-4 value assumed by MADEP
• Observed levels of non-chlorinated VOCs in the vadose zone are typically 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower, due apparently to biodegradation of these non-chlorinated (BTEX) VOCs above the water table.

EPA Review Objectives
• Evaluate the reliability of federal and state screening level approaches for assessing the vapor intrusion pathway.
• Provide a comprehensive assessment of the correspondence between screening level approaches and actual measurements.
• Determine whether this pathway is of concern even if groundwater meets drinking water standards.

Summary:
•We are not alone.
•Proposed DEP Method 1 GW-2 Standards will be generally protective, but NOT as conservative as EPA Q4 Screening Values.
•EPA building on state experiences to develop national guidance, helpful for Method 2 and Method 3 Risk Characterizations
