Summary: Passive turbine type VIMS to be installed although no VIMS components have

split-wall that has since been backfilled, however, this barrier was not installed and was
the reason for the site meeting.

IV. Inspector Comments

V. PHOTOGRAPHS

Photo 1: Upper level of apartment building (prior to pouring concrete slab) where soil was
backfilled against concrete wall of "lower level" apartments. VIMS barrier was not installed
over waterproofing applied to concrete wall as shown in approved VIMS Plan.
Onsite to discuss VIMS vapor barrier in VIMS Plan that was left off basement wall
(photographs 1-3) prior to backfilling for upper level Entrance Level portion of
apartments. During site visit, received additional documents on waterproofing (MiraDri
860/861) from contractor.

H&H is proposing to install a trench along the length of upper wall in contact with drain
board and any void space along exterior wall (Photo 2). Trench would be backfilled with
gravel, which would allow communication between exterior wall drain board/void space
and the upper level VIMS gravel field. According to H&H, this would eliminate the
potential of VI through the basement wall. This proposal will be discussed by NC
Brownfields prior to final approval.

Photo 2: View of basement wall with exterior water proofing and moisture collecting drain
board terminating at upper level floor slab (to be poured). H&H has proposed tying in upper
level VIMS to vertical drain board using perimeter gravel trench to allow potential vapors to be
removed by upper system.
