EHS Budget Planning Update for 2023

In this episode we explore a variety of regulatory and policy activities that could impact your EHS budgets above and beyond the routine in 2023. We explore air topics such as the fine particulate ambient standard tightening, ozone redesignations and the proposed Good Neighbor Rule, and MACT activity. We also review the broad topic of Federal and State Environmental Justice policy and things to plan for in your EHS program. We continue the conversation with the proposed Facility Response Plan federal rule, local stormwater general permit expirations, and TRI reporting next year. Finally, we finish the conversation with a quick highlight of the SEC carbon rulemaking and digital solution considerations.

Vapor Intrusion: Things to Consider in Mitigation Design

In this episode, Paul Hagerty joins us to discuss the issue of vapor intrusion. We start with what vapor intrusion is, when it occurs, and how common it has become. We discuss different vapor intrusion mitigation strategies including one of the most common approaches: vapor barriers. The criteria used to select vapor barrier designs are rooted in engineering and information from vapor barrier vendors. We discuss work that Paul has done to develop a model that evaluates the thickness of barrier that is required in a given situation. His work concludes that in many typical cases, selection of thicker and thicker barriers is not needed. We close out the conversation with some practical advice for things to consider if you are involved in vapor intrusion mitigation projects.

Stack Testing and Data - How to Get the Most out of Testing (Part 2 of 2)

In this episode, we first visit the broad concept of data accuracy and propagation of error in a conversation that will be helpful for anybody working with data and presenting it to another stakeholder. We then talk about tools for measuring data, limitations of data, and data sensitivity in a given situation. We close the conversation out by going back to stack testing and providing practical advice for EHS managers that are preparing for stack testing. This includes discussing lessons learned from the field as it relates to conducting a successful stack test.

Stack Testing and Data - How to Get the Most out of Testing (Part 1 of 2)

In this episode, we have a conversation with Gene Youngerman about stack testing and data. We start with the basics of stack testing and what makes it complicated, then review the different reasons why a stack test is conducted and what types of data match up with those different stack testing drivers. This includes a conversation about operating scenarios and how they should be considered for different types of testing (compliance, engineering, risk data, etc.). We finish the conversation by talking about how long stack testing data stays representative and discussing reasons why new data may be required.
