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

Note: All results in µg/m3 Benzene exceeded residential SL ► 3 of 3 outdoor air samples ► 9 of 10 indoor air samples
BUILDING STRONG® 14
Results Sub-Slab Soil Gas Levels
Note: All results in µg/m3
Benzene exceeded residential SL in: ► 2 of 9 sub-slab soil gas samples - Buildings 593 (Navy Lodge) and 685
(office building) Benzene exceeded non-residential SL in:
► 1 of 9 sub-slab soil gas samples - Building 593 (Navy Lodge) TCE exceeded residential SL in:
► 2 of 9 sub-slab soil gas samples - Building 546 (MEPS)

Relative to Regional Ambient Air Levels
Note: 1. BAAQMD data (Redwood City and San Jose) are for
2012 outdoor air. 2. ND = non-detect

BUILDING STRONG®
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
