OVERVIEW OF THE DOCKET OF COMMENTS ON
EPA’S EXTERNAL REVIEW DRAFT VAPOR INTRUSION GUIDANCE

July 23, 2013

I’ve just finished going through the Comment Docket for EPA’s Final Vapor Intrusion Guidance. See http://www.regulations.gov/#! docketDetail;D=EPA-HQ-RCRA-2002-0033.

I skimmed most of the documents, ignored many of the detailed suggestions, and paid scant attention to comments on the Petroleum guidance alone. There are actually far fewer than the 177 comments counted in the docket. There are many redundancies, and the docket includes comments submitted before the April 2013 external review draft was circulated. Still, it’s a lot of material.

Though it will delay finalization of the Guidance, I believe EPA was right to circulate the External Review draft for public comment. There are innumerable good questions and suggestions. If EPA has the resources to carefully consider each point, it will create a better final document.
