Volume 5: Response activity for the VIAP
Appendix A.2 – Installation and commissioning of an active vapor mitigation system (AVMS)

The Installation and Commissioning of an AVMS includes the installation of the system, verification that the system was installed correctly and is functioning as designed (commissioning), and the documentation necessary to show how the AVMS was installed (as-builts) and is meeting the performance metrics. Upon successful completion, a baseline for the operating parameters specific to the mitigation system are established and the necessary activities to maintain the effectiveness of the system will be identified.

Therefore, completion of this phase is based on the mitigation system being fully installed and shown to be successful in mitigating vapor intrusion. Documentation includes the final performance metrics and monitoring locations, as-built drawings, and system performance documentation of the installed AVMS. This report also should identify the specifics of the OM&M Plan as the system is installed and all information is available to provide a detailed step by step process of the information and assessments necessary to document that the system remains in operation.
