Understanding a Site Conceptual Model and identifying potential data gaps is crucial in adequately assessing the potential exposure risk scenario at a hazardous materials release site. Vapor Intrusion of contaminants from the subsurface into indoor air has become of greater concern in recent years.       Evaluating vapor intrusion requires a stepwise approach with more comprehensive datasets from multiple lines of evidence. If you were evaluating a case with a shallow groundwater contaminant plume (approx. 10 feet bgs) underneath an occupied commercial building located adjacent to a residential neighborhood, how would you evaluate potential vapor intrusion to indoor air and what information would you need to complete the Site Conceptual Model? Please describe what steps you would take?
