Public Comment Alert: Proposed Updates to the Ohio Voluntary Action Program (VAP) Rules The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) has proposed significant updates to the Voluntary Action Program (VAP) rules, which are open for public comment from November 12, 2024, to December 20, 2024. Property assessment, remediation, and compliance stakeholders are encouraged to review these updates and provide feedback during the comment period. #VAP #Voluntaryaction #rulechange #publiccomment #Ohio #OhioVAP John West, PE CHMM PMP DASM https://lnkd.in/gga_ZEww

Let's take a look at the topics of our upcoming free workshops on integral contaminated land management---from site screening to closure ♻️ The workshops will consist of 4 presentations where our international speakers will show how to implement advanced investigation and remediation technologies to overcome typical limitations of traditional methods. Regarding the presentations on site investigation, first our very own Jonás García-Rincón, Ph.D. will illustrate the multiphase and heterogeneous nature of subsurface systems using high-resolution data sets from NAPL-contaminated sites. Jonás will also show how investigating the spatial distribution of preferential migration pathways and low-permeability zones at appropriate scales can inform risk-based decisions and the design of site management strategies in sites impacted with PFAS, hydrocarbons and other chemicals. Laurie Chilcote (Vapor Pin Enterprises, Inc.) will fly from Ohio to show us how vapour intrusion is often a major risk pathway in contaminated sites and how passive and active sampling can significantly improve CSMs to achieve rapid, positive outcomes. Laurie will explain us how to take pressure readings and active grab samples while a passive sampler is installed. Using Vapor Pin, a small sub-slab vapour port that is installed in minutes with commonly available hand tools, gas samples can be collected at multiple events or simply used to gather data during a single event. Attendees will also see how these samplers can be employed for continuous monitoring of differential pressure and vapour concentration.
