The design of a Passive Vapor Mitigation System (PVMS) submittal to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) should include information necessary to ensure the proposed system has a reasonable likelihood of effectively mitigating unacceptable exposures for the volatilization to the indoor air pathway (VIAP). This Table of Contents (TOC) may contain information not necessarily critical for the review and approval of the mitigation strategy; however, it is included in the design to ensure that the necessary information is available if approval of the installed system is required in the future.
The obligation of ensuring the designed system is effectively mitigating the unacceptable exposures for the VIAP is that of the person proposing the plan. EGLE’s approval of the design of a PVMS does not guarantee that it will be effective in mitigating the unacceptable exposure, nor that additional response activities or corrective actions are not warranted. The PVMS design submittal should provide key design elements, but focus on identifying performance metrics, how and where they are measured, why they are appropriate for the design, and the construction quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) plan.
