EPA Region 10 - Vapor Intrusion Risk Pathway: A Practical Guide
Hosted by U.S. EPA - Region 10
presented by Hartman Environmental Geoscience

Hartman Environmental Geoscience will be providing a comprehensive and practical training class for EPA Region 10 in downtown Seattle in January 2015. The course is open to all environmental professionals on how to understand and assess the vapor intrusion pathway. The course will also cover ramifications of the new ASTM Phase 1 Standard relating to the vapor encroachment condition in Phase 1 assessments.

The course is highly interactive with numerous class exercises from real sites and in-field demonstrations on sampling methods. A draft topic outline follows on the following page. The course will include presentations by EPA representatives on the agency’s vapor intrusion guidance/policy and possibly by WA-ECY.
