Vapor Screening Tool

$40 with an E1 to E6 Report Package
$150 as a Vapor Screening Package (includes Database Report and ERIS Xplorer)

ERIS created a tool dedicated specifically to assessing the risks associated with vapor encroachment.

ERIS’ Vapor Screening Tool helps identify a Vapor Encroachment Condition (VEC) as part of a Phase I Assessment (complying with ASTM E2600-22). It applies approximate minimum search distances surrounding the target property to identify the default Area of Concern (AOC) and assists in identifying potential Chemicals of Concern (COC) and Petroleum Hydrocarbon COCs. The tool allows fine-tuning of the AOC based on the user’s expertise and knowledge of the site by adjusting groundwater flow direction and search distances for up-, cross-, and down-gradient quadrants. It helps determine whether a VEC exists by posing a list of preset questions about natural features, preferential pathways, soil characteristics, and physical barriers.

Key Features:

  • It is efficiently integrated within ERIS Xplorer
  • It is easy to learn and use through a central menu of functionalities
  • Intuitively displays groundwater direction on the map but contains adjustment options
  • Displays all data and information in a centralized table for easy review and report creation
  • Provides powerful search capabilities of data sources
  • Can include multiple layers in the review and analysis (e.g. Topo, FIM, PSR)
  • Includes a ‘Vapor Checklist’ that poses questions to help determine whether a VEC exists; and allows commentary for inclusion in the Vapor Report
  • Provides ‘Preview’ or ‘Detail’ Vapor Report options
  • Organizes the report in a very easy-to-read format including: an executive summary, and vapor encroachment details for each site selected for inclusion.
