Environmental and Manufacturing Task Force Update

The March Environmental and Manufacturing Task Force meeting included a presentation from Ross Steenson, geology specialist for the Groundwater Protection Division of the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Control Board. The presentation included an overview of the agencies that regulate water within the state and the role of the Regional Water Control Boards. The presentation also highlighted recent or planned guidance for groundwater with a concentration on vapor intrusion. Vapor intrusion occurs when chemicals in soil or groundwater migrate to indoor air above a contaminated site. To view Mr. Steenson’s presentation, please visit the presentation folder here.
