  1. Customizing EQuIS to Manage Soil Vapor Intrusion Data Chris Mickle ICEDM Conference – Portland Oregon May 14, 2013

  2. Topics • Introduction to Soil Vapor Intrusion • Best Practices for Customizing EQuIS • Database and EDD Changes • SVI Data Workflow • SVI Data Collection Form Demo • Documentation and Acknowledgements

  3. Introduction to Soil Vapor Intrusion Data New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) - Center for Environmental Health, Bureau of Environmental Exposure Investigation. "Guidance for Evaluating Soil Vapor Intrusion in the State of New York" (NYSDOH – October 2006).

  4. Soil Vapor Port Installation Geoprobe drilling Insert Teflon-lined tubing Fill borehole with at least six inches of sand surrounding the vapor sampling implant Seal remaining depth of the borehole with Bentonite The Bentonite seal must set for at least 24 hours before soil gas sampling can occur

  5. Soil Vapor Port Installation Permanent Soil Gas Ports Well mount and swage lock Temporary Soil Gas Ports Excess tubing is plugged Sub slab vapor port installations

  6. Soil Vapor Sampling Equipment Flow regulator SUMMA Canister Low flow pumps for purging soil vapor ports and tubing

  7. Soil Vapor Sampling QA/QC Collect field duplicates every 20 samples Helium Tracer Tests

  8. Sampling Area Observations Penetrations on floors Stains from chemical spills Chemical containing products

  9. Best Practices for Customizing EQuIS Review subject matter documentation Interview system users Review field data collection forms Define requirements

  10. Best Practices for Customizing EQuIS Use staff knowledgeable in the EQuIS database schema Prepare entity relationship diagrams and object models to reflect current and proposed database structure Work with EarthSoft to implement database changes

  11. Database and EDD Changes New tables replaced existing building and task parameter tables to meet these needs Buildings can have multiple inspections on different dates Parameter codes are associated with buildings (subfacilities) Subfacilities can contain many buildings An outdoor sample can be assigned to multiple buildings

  12. Database and EDD Changes New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) - Center for Environmental Health, Bureau of Environmental Exposure Investigation. "Guidance for Evaluating Soil Vapor Intrusion in the State of New York" (NYSDOH – October 2006). One outdoor sample for more than one building.

  13. EDD Modifications After Before
