Planning & Execution Work Plans based on EPA work plans and developed in
close collaboration with EPA using best industry practices
Sampling and analysis performed by USACE in accordance with EPA-approved work plans ► 6 compounds selected for analysis ► All sample and alternate locations planned with EPA, 63d Army
Reserve, and building managers ► Results compared to EPA Region 9 risk-based screening levels
(SLs)
Sampling conducted February 26-27 (Tues-Wed), 2013

Summary No exceedances of applicable EPA SLs Indoor and outdoor air
► No TCE exceedances of SLs in indoor air ► Benzene indoor air results less than non-residential SL ► Benzene results are less than the average regional outdoor air
level ► Benzene exceedances are likely due to ambient outdoor
presence
Sub-slab soil gas ► Benzene and TCE present above SLs ► No impact to indoor air observed
