This data will <br /> enable rapid determination of whether and in what locations indoor air quality achieves the <br /> standard MTCA Method B unrestricted-use indoor air exposure cleanup levels.$ <br /> ■ Enables evaluation of air conditions under variable building operating conditions (diurnal <br /> heating/cooling/ventilation, workplace activities and possible ambient COI sources, <br /> climatic/storm events, if changing over the multi-day sampling event, etc.). <br /> ■ Enables focused evaluation of possible subsurface vapor entry points (e.g. slab cracks, utility <br /> penetrations/conduits, and/or other sources of ambient/indoor COI contributions). <br /> ■ Allows for pairing analytical data with continuous differential pressure monitoring data to <br /> provide a basis for determining when and under what building/barometric pressure conditions <br /> that VI may be occurring. <br /> BUILDING OPERATIONS SURVEY <br /> Before mobilization of the GC unit, a building-operations survey will be conducted to document <br /> construction and operating conditions.The building survey will include research to evaluate factors that <br /> may influence indoor air quality and will provide an opportunity to present the building management <br /> and occupants with guidelines on how to prepare for the sampling and to help avoid common sources of <br /> background air contamination. Initial data collection tasks will include the following: <br /> ■ Research basic factors that may influence indoor air quality including (if possible): building <br /> foundation/construction characteristics and floor plan; observation for obvious cracks, seams, <br /> or other preferential indoor vapor migration pathways in foundation materials; initial <br /> determination of HVAC equipment in use at the building; identifying types and locations of <br /> 'https://ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/Guidance-technical-assistance/Contamination-clean-up- <br /> tools/CLARC/Data-tables <br /> EES ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING,INC. 2120-02 2024 SOW 20240408f <br />
