VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1. PURPOSE

SUMMIT was retained by Sweetgrass Airport Road, LLC, to complete a Vapor Mitigation Plan (VMP)
for the development of the Sweetgrass Apartments at the Fishburne Landfill Brownfields site,
located 39 Bradley Branch Road, in Arden, Buncombe County, North Carolina (Buncombe County
Parcel ID: 9643-98-6338). The VMP was developed in conjunction with the approved Environmental
Management Plan and is intended to provide specifications for the installation and application of the
VMP measures.

1.2. SITE DESCRIPTION

The subject site is an approximately 11.69-acre, irregular shaped parcel of urban commercial land.
Commercial property bounds the property to the south and east. Residential homes are located to
the north of the site. Vacant land lies to the west and an unnamed stream is located along the west
boundary. The subject site generally slopes to the north-northwest. The site can be accessed via
Bradley Branch to the east via a driveway. Refer to Figure 1 included in this VMP.

1.3. ASSESSMENT HISTORY

The following assessments were completed by SUMMIT for the subject site.

Phase I ESA dated January 31, 2018:
The following Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) were identified in the Phase I ESA:
• The site was used as an unlined sanitary landfill for Buncombe County during the early 1970s.
Historic, uncontrolled dumping occurred from the early-1970s to the mid-1980s. Food waste
was purportedly dumped at the site until approximately 1973 when the practice was halted
by the County.
• Historic groundwater contamination from chlorinated solvents was documented in a 1996
CSA report conducted for Buncombe County. A network of 21 monitoring wells was installed
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

and sampled between 1993 and 1995. While no wells were observed in the 2018 Phase I
ESA, reports of at least two wells were observed as recently as 2007.
• Waste appears to extend beyond the property boundary on the northern and northwest
borders.
• During assessments conducted by others in 2000, methane gas concentrations were
detected that exceeded the Upper Explosive Limit (15%) for Methane gas in soil borings along
the eastern edge of the property. Odors were observed along the western border during an
assessment in 2008. Methane gas less than the Lower Explosive Limit (5%) was detected on
the adjacent residential property to the north in 2008.

Phase II ESA dated October 10, 2018:
The following findings were identified in the Phase II ESA:
• The soil samples identified the presence of multiple compounds. However, only the Zone 1
composite soil sample collected from the 0 to 10 feet interval was measured to have SVOC
concentrations above NC DEQ reference values for residential use. SUMMIT utilized the
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality-Risk Calculator - February 2018 Version
to determine if these soils would be considered unsuitable for residential usage. The Risk
Calculator results showed the total cumulative risk to human health from Zone 1 soils to be
less than the established levels provided for cancerous effects (1 in 10,000 or 10-4) and non-
cancerous systemic effects (HI less than 1). Arsenic, a naturally occurring metal, was also
observed above residential use values in sample P-0-2, where the stormwater pond will be
constructed.
• The groundwater samples confirmed the presence of five (5) VOCs, one (1) SVOC and two
RCRA metals at concentrations above North Carolina Groundwater Standards (15A NCAC
02L).
• Soil gas sampling conducted in July 2018 reported detections of chlorinated solvent
compounds (PCE/TCE) as well as various other VOCs at concentrations below soil gas
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

residential screening levels. Methane analysis indicated exceedances of the Lower Explosive
Limit (LEL) in two (2) sample locations.

Well Survey & Abandonment:
• A well survey conducted for the site identified the following monitoring wells: TMW-1, TMW-
2, TMW-3, MW-2, MW-4-65, MW-10-30, MW-10-88, MW-11-35, MW-11-50, MW-12-144
and NO DESIGNATION.
• Monitoring wells TMW-1, TMW-2, TMW-3, MW-2 and MW-12-144 were abandoned on
March 12, 2019. Monitoring wells MW-11-35 and MW-11-50 (a/k/a MW-11 pair) were
abandoned due to their locations obstructing development of the stormwater conveyances.
All of these abandonment activities occurred prior to recordation of the Brownfields
Agreement on July 22, 2019.
• Monitoring wells MW-4-65 and NO DESIGNATION were destroyed by repeated slope failures
during the development of the pad for building 1.
• Monitoring wells MW-4-65, NO DESIGNATION, and MW-11 pair will be reinstalled following
completion of construction in accordance with LUR 18 of the Brownfields Agreement

1.4. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

system, located under the kiosk roof, accessible from the outside (open air). The mail kiosk will
include a small package room for postal carriers to leave items that would not fit in the mail box
system. The door to the package room will consist of a louvered grate on the lower and upper
portion of the doors to promote airflow from the outside environment. Additionally, a wind
powered roof vent will be installed to improve airflow and venting of the package room.

1.6. VAPOR MITIGATION PLAN OBJECTIVES

Based on the assessment data collected for the subject site, vapor mitigation measures are required
for development in order to mitigate potential methane intrusion previously identified on-site.
Additionally, the vapor mitigation system specified in this VMP is designed to be capable of mitigating
potential VOCs if encountered. Confirmation soil gas sampling will be conducted following the
grading phase of development. Additionally, pre-occupancy sub-slab and indoor air sampling will be
conducted.

This VMP is proposed to be accomplished by utilizing a 96-mil vapor mitigation barrier (60-mil spray
core minimum), sub-slab depressurization system with active fan system and sub-slab pressure
monitoring/sampling points. Minimum specifications and details can be found on the attached plan
set VMS-1 through VMS-25 in Appendix I. Additionally, manufacturing specifications can be found
attached in Appendix II of this VMP document.
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

2.0 DESIGN BASIS

The PD is proposing to develop the eight (8) slab on grade apartment buildings (building types B, C
& D) Carriage Style Apartment Building and the Clubhouse/Amenity Center building utilizing an
active sub-slab depressurization system. The Pool Equipment building is proposed to be developed
utilizing the specified vapor barrier membrane and active interior ventilation using specified fan
systems exhausting via louvered vents in the pool house enclosure. The outdoor fire pit area is
designed to be installed utilizing the specified vapor barrier membrane and an open air/ventilated
manufactured propane outdoor fire pit. The mail kiosk building is being proposed to be developed
with slab on grade construction and passive venting of the package room via louvered door grates
(top and bottom) and a passive roof vent (whirlybird style).

The vapor mitigation systems will include a vapor barrier system manufactured by Geo-Seal or
equivalent in conjunction with a sub-slab venting network, digital pressure monitoring points and
sub-slab sampling points. The vapor barrier, venting system, monitoring and sampling points will be
installed sub-slab by the manufacturing subcontractors.

2.1. VAPOR BARRIER MEMBRANE

The vapor barrier at a minimum will consist of:
• 18-mil geotextile film base layer (Geo-Seal FILM 11 or equivalent)
• 60-mil sprayed applied asphaltic layer
• 18-mil protective geotextile layer (Geo-Seal FILM 11 or equivalent)
Details of the vapor barrier membrane system can be viewed on VMS-22.

Total thickness of the Vapor Barrier System will be 96-mil minimum.

VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

The vapor barrier will be constructed using GeoSeal Vapor Intrusion Barrier. The technical
specifications and installation instructions obtained from GeoSeal Intrusion Barrier and
installation products are provided in VMS-1 through VMS-25 and Appendix III and are briefly
summarized below.

In accordance with the manufacturer installation instructions, the GeoSeal vapor intrusion
barrier will be installed over the sub-slab aggregate and will completely cover the concrete slab
placement area and vertical split wall foundations. Seams will be overlapped a minimum of six
inches, and seams and penetrations will be sealed using GeoSeal manufactures specifications
outlined on VMS-22. The concrete slab will be placed directly on top of the sealed barrier to
further seal the seams and penetrations. Note that an equivalent vapor barrier may also be used
by the installation contractor if it meets the criteria specified in Sheet VMS-1 and is approved by
the VMS design engineer. However, if an alternate equivalent vapor barrier is selected, the DEQ
Brownfields Program will be notified of the alternate liner for their review and approval prior to
installation.

2.2. SPLIT WALL WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE

Each vertical split wall requires waterproofing to meet local and building code standards. The Geo-
Seal product is not a certified waterproofing product. Therefore, a Geo-Seal approved product, EPRO
E Sheald 115 will be applied to the vertical surfaces. The EPRO system consists of the following:
• 80-mil sprayed applied asphaltic layer (Geo-Seal CORE spray)
• 15-mil red geomembrane (E. Shield 115)
• Contractor applied drain board
Details of the waterproofing vapor barrier membrane system can be viewed on VMS-23 and VMS
24.

The vertical wall vapor barrier will be constructed using GeoSeal CORE spray. The technical
specifications and installation instructions obtained from GeoSeal Intrusion Barrier and
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

installation products are provided in VMS-1 through VMS-25 and Appendix III and are briefly
summarized below.

The Geo-Seal CORE material is rated at 100% protective for the transmission of methane. The E.
Shield will be applied to the CORE spray in accordance with manufacturers specifications. Seams
will be overlapped a minimum of six inches, and seams and penetrations will be sealed using
GeoSeal manufactures specifications outline on VMS-22.

2.3. SPLIT WALL VENTING

Following the installation of the poured split wall, waterproofing membrane and vertical drain
board, the split wall poured foundation wall shall be backfilled with a 2-foot wide minimum
column of clean #57 stone or equivalent approved by the VMS Engineer for the entire height and
width of the split wall. Approximately 3 feet below the upper slab system, a sheet of the 15-mill
E. Shield poly sheeting shall be adhered to the drain board via tape and extend into the sub-
grade. The sheeting is only intended to reduce depressurization loss of the upper slab from the
split wall stone backfill. The 1-inch drain board installed on the wall will provide a continuous
gad laterally along the wall to allow for passive communication between the wall and upper slab
depressurization systems, eliminating the potential for methane buildup beneath the 15-mil poly
sheeting. See Detail 1/VMS 23 and Detail 1 & 2/VMS24 for additional information. The stone
column behind the split wall extends out laterally past the foundation footprint a minimum of 5
feet with stem wall and is connected to retaining wall systems, constructed with 12 inches
minimum of #57 backfill allowing for further passive venting of the split wall systems. See VMS
24 and Detail 1 for additional information. In addition to the split wall venting and foundation
drain venting discussed in Section 2.4 of this document, all ground floor units and split-wall
corridor hallways will receive a methane alarm as detailed in Section 2.13 of this VMP.

VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

2.4. SPLIT WALL FOUNDATION DRAIN VENTING

Foundation drain board installed along the vertical surface of the split wall will be connected to
a 4-inch foundation drain pipe that will drain collected water to areas outside the building
footprints. The drains will be sloped away from the buildings to allow gravity drainage. The drain
pipe will consist of 4-inch corrugated perforated pipe, installed in a gravel column that will extend
out laterally past the building footprint and will daylight and drain the collected water through
the constructed retaining wall systems. This perforated drain pipe is installed in a gravel column
behind the extended split-wall and into connected retaining wall systems which allows for
passive ventilation of any potential methane that may accumulate in the foundation drain. See
VMS 24 and Detail 1 for additional information.

2.5. ACTIVE VENTING NETWORK BELOW SLAB

The active sub-slab venting network will consist of:
• 4-inches of clean #57 stone or VMS Engineered approved equivalent over prepared subgrade
• Low-profile vapor extraction piping (VaporVent of equivalent)
• 3-inch or 4-inch solid PVC piping through thickened slab foundations
• Necessary fittings, couplings and miscellaneous materials
• 4-inch solid PVC riser to attic mounted ventilation fan
• Digital pressure sensors installed in slab

Details of the sub-slab venting network for each building type can be viewed on VMS plan sheets in
Appendix II of this document.

The sub-slab vapor extraction piping network will consist or VaporVent provided by GeoSeal (or
approved equivalent). The extraction piping will be installed within a minimum 4-inch thick
gravel layer consisting of clean #57 stone. Alternate stone types may be utilized pending VMS
Engineer approval. The gravel layer will be installed beneath all portions of the concrete slab
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

with the exceptions of footings. In order to reach all areas sub-slab, 3-inch solid PVC piping will
be run through wall footings as outlined in the VMS-23 detail 3. The venting network will be
vented via four (4) to six (6) vent risers which will be plumbed to the attic space and connected to
an appropriately sized in-line explosion proof ventilation fans. Riser shall be sealed in accordance
with the membrane penetration detail on VMS 22, detail 4.

2.6. SUB-SLAB PRESSURE MONITORING POINTS

Sub-slab pressure monitoring sensors will be installed at select locations at each building in order to
allow VMS pressure monitoring. The locations of the pressure monitoring sensors are included on
VMS 9 through 19. The pressure monitoring points are designed by Vapor Dynamics LLC/Clean Vapor
Solutions and will be installed by the manufacturer. The pressure monitoring sensors are a
proprietary design and consist of a digital manometer sensor installed sub-slab at each location,
connected via low voltage wire to the above slab Vapor Guardian control unit. The control unit can
monitor pressure differentials in real time and increase or decrease fan speed to achieve the
pressure differential goal sub-slab of -0.02-inch Water. Pressure readings will be recorded and
viewed in real time by use of the manufacturer provided Vapor Dynamics software and installed
telemetry system in the control unit. Additional information on the Vapor Guardian System in
discussed in section 2.8 of this document and outlined on VMS 25.

2.7. SUB-SLAB SAMPLING POINTS

Sub-slab sampling points will be installed at select locations at each building in order to allow for
sub-slab soil gas sample collection. The locations of the pressure monitoring points are included on
VMS-3 through VMS-9. Sub-slab sampling points will consist of 1-inch sch 40 pvc piping with end
slotted protection screens installed within the gravel layer beneath the slab. A continuous run of
nylaflow tubing fitted with a soil gas sampling screen will be installed within the PVC piping at each
pressure monitoring point. The inside of the piping will be sealed with a minimum of 1-inch of VOC
free sealant at each 5-foot section (minimum) of piping. For apartment building style B, C, D and
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

Clubhouse the pressure monitoring access points will be located in common areas or breezeways
and will be finished with a 2-inch compatible floor cleanout, installed flush with the slab and
protected with a vandal proof adjustable cover. For the Carriage apartment buildings, the sampling
points will be collocated with the Clean Vapor pressure monitoring ports at outlined in VMS-9 and
VMS-25 All pipe penetrations of the VMS membrane will be sealed as a penetration (see detail 4,
VMS-22).

2.8. ACTIVE VENTING NETWORK ABOVE SLAB

The active venting of the sub-slab will be achieved by an attic installed in-line explosion proof
ventilation fan/blower in conjunction with active pressure monitoring utilizing the Vapor Dynamics
Vapor Guardian 5500 control unit. The locations of vent risers, pressure sensors, control units and
fans can be viewed on VMS 9 through VMS 19. The pressor sensors embedded in the sub slab
measure pressure differentials between the underlying soil and the interior of the building. This data
is integrated into a control logic algorithm that drives the blower to control sub slab vacuum levels
to within 0.001" w.c. of a target set point. For the purpose of this VMS, a target pressure differential
goal of 0.02’ w.c. will be utilized. Beyond significant energy savings, the Vapor Guardian 5500 has
the ability to control vacuum in a hierarchy that contributes to the retraction of the soil gas as well
as continuously recording system metrics including applied vacuum, sub slab vacuum, airflow and
power saved. The system has a log in screen so the Operations & Maintenance contractor (Engineer
of Record or Manufacture) can view the system’s performance in real time by use of the installed
telemetry system. If engineer other than the design engineer is utilized for Operations &
Maintenance, NCDEQ Brownfields must be notified within 30 days of the change in monitoring and
system performance responsibilities. Performance metrics and set points can be changed remotely
to respond to the changes that occur as soils dry out and the soil gas plume retracts. If any part of
the system functions outside of set performance ranges an email or text notification will be sent out
to the engineer of record responsible for managing the system. Hourly performance data is
encrypted and recorded on a secure server. This data is summarized and issued in an automated
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

quarterly report that can be distributed to the VMS Engineer, PD and regulatory authority, if
required.

The fan/blower size will be determined by influence testing performed prior to building completion
and outlined in section 4.2 of this document.

2.9. PAVEMENT VENTING

The impervious pavement venting shall be installed to reduce the potential for methane
accumulation below the surface. Venting shall be achieved by installing gravel beds beneath the
pavement every 100 feet of pavement surface connected to communication gravel beds located
beneath landscaped areas or landscaped parking islands behind curb. A layout of venting beds is
included on VMS 20. The Pavement Venting details can be viewed on VMS 25. The pavement
venting layout was designed to meet or exceed existing pavement venting guidance established by
the City of Los Angeles in the published Methane Mitigation Guidance documents (Page 1, Section
D.3) included in Appendix IV of the VMP. This LA guidance document states that Installed
landscaping areas immediately adjacent to the building exterior walls at least two (2) feet wide
covering 80% of the building perimeter is sufficient for mitigation of paved areas. All site buildings
are surrounding by more than two (2) feet of landscaping, meeting this criterion. Out of an
abundance of caution, the pavement ventilation proposed was developed as an additional
protection measure.

2.10. POOL DECKING VENTING

The impervious pool decking surrounding the below ground pool shall be vented in accordance with
the attached layout and details found on VMS 21. Gravel filled trenches shall be installed from the
pool gravel backfilled area to a trench drain connected to a vent riser to allow for passive venting of
the pool decking.

VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

2.11. RETAINING WALL VENTING

Fourteen (14) engineered retaining walls are utilized in the site design for this development. The
retaining walls vary in height from 7 feet tall to 17 feet tall, with the average wall being no more than
11 feet in height. Each retaining wall is designed to be installed utilizing a minimum of 12 inches for
#57 stone backfill material, extending from the base of the wall up to 12 inches below upper surface.
The upper 12 inches will be backfilled with native soils for landscaping. The wall system consists of
stacked block with engineered gaps located between each block course to allow for drainage. The
wall locations are outlined on VMS 24 Detail #1. The presence of the retaining wall systems provides
an additional passive venting measure to the proposed development by creating multiple vertical
areas of communication from potential methane migration and the open-air wall systems.

System Identification
All viewable/accessible components of the VMS shall be labeled at a minimum every 10 feet with a
system identification indicating “Soil Vapor Mitigation System” with name, address and telephone
number of the entity to contact for questions and repairs.
Methane Alarm
SUMMIT understands that no natural gas appliances or fire places will be installed inside the
residential units of this development. Continuous monitoring for methane gas in all ground floor
apartment units will be achieved by the use of Methane Gas Detectors. One (1) methane gas
detector shall be installed per ground floor unit, near an interior bedroom, high on the wall, no
more than 6 inches from the ceiling for early detection of methane gas. One (1) methane gas
detector shall be installed in the split wall corridors of split-level buildings. One (1) methane gas
detector shall be installed in the attic area near the mitigation fan system. One (1) methane gas
detector shall be installed in an interior room of the Clubhouse/Amenity building, high on the
wall, no more than 6 inches from the ceiling. The methane gas detector shall be plug-in or hard
wired with battery backup in case of power outages. The methane gas detector shall activate a
85-dB sound alarm when concentrations of methane gas are detected between 10-25% LEL. An
approved Methane Gas Detector meeting the requirements outline above is the Kidde Carbon
Monoxide and Explosive Gas Alarm model: KN-COEG-3 (900-0113). Specifications for this
detector is in included in Appendix III of this VMP. The use of individual Methane Alarms will
require replacement every 5 years by property management. Methane alarms will be tested
prior to occupancy by the design engineer. The methane alarm units will notify tenants of Low
Battery conditions. The battery is for back up purposes and should be replaced by the Property
Management when notified by the tenant.

If hearing impaired tenants are assigned ground floor units, the Methane Gas Detector must be
retrofit by an electrical contractor to provide a visual alarm consisting of a Strobe Tube Light with
150,000 candela output and minimum 65 flashes per minute (example: Grainger 2ERP6) by the
rental management company.

4.0 PRE-CONSTRUCTION / POST-CONSTRUCTION / PRE-OCCUPANCY SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS
TESTING

4.1. PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONFIRMATION SAMPLING

Pre-Construction confirmation soil gas sampling will be conducted following initial grading activities.
The current development plan utilizes a balanced cut/fill approach whereby soils in the southern
and central portions of the site will be cut (excavated) and placed in the northern portions of the site
as structural fill. The soil gas sampling is being conducted to document soil gas concentrations
following grading of the site to approximate finished elevations and confirm prior soil gas sampling
results.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION SOIL GAS SAMPLING POINT INSTALLATION

SUMMIT proposes to install fifteen (15) temporary soil gas sampling points as part of the Pre-
Construction Confirmation Sampling. Two (2) soil gas sampling points are planned for each
apartment building (7 buildings) and one (1) soil gas sampling point is planned for the Club
House/Amenity Center/Leasing Office building. At each location, Direct Push (DP) equipment will
advance a 3-inch diameter borehole utilizing a MacroCore samplers. At installation depths, the rod
string will be retracted and 6 inches of uniform filter sand will be placed at the base of the borehole.
A stainless steel soil gas sampling implant will be placed above the base filter sand and connected to
the surface by Teflon tubing. The soil gas sampling implant will be encased in filter sand to a depth
extending 6 inches above the top of the implant. Hydrated bentonite seal will be placed above the
filter sand and extend to the surface of each borehole. Each sample collection screen will be installed
between five (5) and seven (7) feet below the proposed lowest slab elevation. Each soil gas sampling
point shall be installed in accordance with Division of Waste Management Vapor Intrusion Guidance
(VIG) and Inactive Hazardous Site Branch (IHSB) guidance. Sample points will be allowed to
equilibrate for a minimum of 4 hours prior to sampling.
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

PRE-CONSTRUCTION SOIL GAS SAMPLE COLLECTION

Pressure readings will be recorded for each sampling point prior to and following sampling activities.
Atmospheric pressure readings will be recorded as well.

Prior to sampling, a helium leak test and equipment shut-in test will be conducted in accordance
with DWM guidelines. The helium leak tests consist of sealing a shroud over the soil gas point, entire
soil gas sampling train (fittings) and filling the head space with helium gas. Helium readings inside
the shroud will be recorded via a calibrated hand-held helium detector. Sampling point volume will
be calculated (annular space, tubing, etc) and a minimum of three (3) volumes will be removed from
each sampling point by use of a calibrated mechanical air sampling pump. Helium reading will be
recorded for the shroud and sample point exhaust for each purged volume. Following purging, a
fourth volume will be collected in a new tedlar bag. The resulting tedlar bag will be analyzed for the
presence of helium gas utilizing the hand-held helium detector. The sampling points will pass the
leak tests and be considered properly sealed if the sample points helium concentrations are less than
10% of the helium concentration within the leak test shroud.

Samples will be collected in laboratory provided 1 Litter Summa Canisters and 200-ml per minute
calibrated regulators. A sample collection period of 5 minute per sample is anticipated utilizing the
200-ml per minute regulators. Sample canister regulators will be monitored during the sampling
period to ensure regulator pressure readings do not reach zero (0) psi vacuum. One (1) duplicate
will be collected during the sampling event. Samples will be submitted to a nationally accredited
laboratory for the analysis of VOC compounds previously detected in soil gas analysis by TO-15 and
Methane by TO-3. The laboratory shall provide initial pressures for each canister. If canister
pressures received at the site report vacuum losses of greater than 10%, then that canister shall be
replaced.

VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

4.2. SYSTEM INFLUENCE TESTING

Following installation of the horizontal extraction piping, vapor barrier, and concrete slab pours, but
prior to building occupancy, influence testing will be conducted on the VMS to ensure proper
vacuum influence is obtainable beneath the concrete slab. For the influence test, one or more
variable speed vapor extraction fans will be attached to select vertical risers. The vacuum and air
flow will be measured at varying speeds at the extraction fan locations, followed by collection of
pressure measurements at each pressure measuring point until the entire slab has been evaluated.
The results of the influence test will be submitted to DEQ upon completion of the tests and internal
evaluation of the data collected. Influence testing results will determine fan/blow size and
capabilities.

As indicated in Sheets VMS-1 through 25 in Appendix II, the pressure measuring points have been
designated as permanent installations that are connected to a monitoring control unit (Vapor
Guardian). The pressure differentials are recorded in real time and transmitted via installed
telemetry to the VMP Engineer, PD and other designated parties.

4.3. PRE-OCCUPANCY SAMPLING

SUB-SLAB SAMPLING

Upon completion of successful influence testing and prior to occupancy of the building, sub-slab
vapor samples will be collected from select permanent sampling points to evaluate the potential for
vapor intrusion. Two (2) sub-slab vapor samples will be collected from each apartment building
and one (1) sample collected from the Clubhouse/Amenity building for a total of 15 samples
(excluding duplicates). The sub-slab vapor samples will be collected from select permanent
sampling points described in section 4.1 of this VMP and detailed. This sub-slab vapor testing
will be conducted after a minimum of four (4) days have elapsed following the installation of the
VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

concrete slabs. Due to anticipated construction schedules, multiple visits may be required to
complete this sampling.

A duplicate sub-slab vapor sample will be collected each sampling event for quality
assurance/quality control (QA/QC) purposes from one (1) of the monitoring points using a
stainless-steel sample “T” fitting which allows two samples to be collected simultaneously from
the monitoring point. The pressure measuring points will be sampled by connecting the installed
pressure monitoring point tubing to the sampling device, and using recommended procedures
presented in the DWM VI Guidance.

Prior to sample collection, a leak test will be performed on each sampling point by placing a
shroud around the point and entire sampling train (connecting etc), saturating the air within the
shroud with helium gas, then purging soil gas from the sampling point with a syringe and 3-way
valve into a Tedlar® bag. A helium gas detector will be used to measure helium concentrations in
the shroud and bag during purging of the sampling point. The leak test will be considered
successful if the helium concentration measured in the sub-slab vapor purged from the sampling
point is less than 10% of the concentration measured in the shroud. If the leak test is
unsuccessful, measures will be taken to identify and address the source of the leak and additional
leak testing will be performed.

The sub-slab vapor samples will be collected with batch-certified 6-liter Summa canisters over a
30-minute period using a laboratory calibrated 200-ml per minute regulator. Sample canister
regulators will be monitored during the sampling period to ensure regulator pressure readings do
not reach zero (0) psi vacuum. The samples will be submitted for analysis of VOCs previously
identified in Pre-Construction Confirmation Sampling by EPA Method TO-15 (with Naphthalene)
and Methane by EPA Method TO-3. The lab will be instructed to report results to detection limits
below the most current DEQ residential VISLs.

VMP – Sweetgrass Apartments – Fishburne Landfill, Revision #6 SUMMIT Project No. 4363.515 Arden, North Carolina December 17, 2020

INDOOR AIR SAMPLING

An indoor air sampling event will be conducted for each apartment building and
Clubhouse/Amenity building. Two (2) indoor air samples will be collected from each apartment
building and one (1) sample collected from the Clubhouse/Amenity building for a total of 15
samples (excluding duplicates). Indoor air samples will be collected from ground floor units and
co-located at select sub-slab sampling points. As the building are intended to be occupied shortly
following completion and initialization of the HVAC system, the indoor air sampling event for
each apartment building will be conducted following construction of the building, including
completion of the VMS, but prior to the building being connected to utilities. A portable power
source will be utilized to operate the fans associated with the building’s VMS, which will be run
continuously for a minimum of 24-48 hours prior to sampling, as well as throughout the sampling
period. In addition, during the indoor air sampling event, pressure differential measurements
will be collected from the pressure measuring points located throughout the building selected
for sampling. A Landtec GEM 5000 landfill gas meter or DEQ approved equivalent meter shall be
utilized to scan the 1st floor of the building being sampled for the presence of methane and
recorded on the report logs.

Each indoor air sample will be collected in accordance with the DWM VI Guidance, using an
individually certified 6-liter Summa canister over a 24-hour period and analyzed for VOCs by EPA
Method TO-15 and Methane by EPA Method TO-3. The analyzed VOCs will be determined based
on the compounds detected within the sub-slab gas samples and per discussion between
SUMMIT and DEQ. Summa canister pressures will be monitored throughout the sampling event
and will not be allowed to reach zero (0). The analytical laboratory will be instructed to report J-
flag concentrations for each sample. For quality control purposes, one duplicate sample and one
background air sample will be collected during each indoor air sampling event. In addition, the
Indoor Air Building Survey (Appendix C of the DWM VI Guidance) will be completed for each
building and submitted as part of the project records along with field reports.

3.1 Auxiliary Materials
A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions under which vapor intrusion barrier will be applied, with installer present, for compliance with requirements. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory
conditions have been corrected.
3.2 Subgrade Surface Preparation
A. Verify substrate is prepared according to manufacturer’s recommendations. On a horizontal surface, the substrate should be free from material that can potentially puncture the vapor intrusion barrier. Additional protection or cushion layers might be required if the earth or gravel substrate contains too many jagged points and edges that could puncture one or more of the system components. Contact manufacturer to confirm substrate is within manufactures recommendations.
B. Geo-Seal can accommodate a wide range of substrates, including but not limited to compacted earth, sand, aggregate, and mudslabs.
1. Compacted Earth: Remove pieces of debris, gravel and/or any other material that can potentially puncture the Geo-Seal BASE. Remove any debris from substrate that can potentially puncture the Geo-Seal system prior to application.
2. Sand: A sand subgrade requires no additional preparation, provided any material that can potentially puncture the Geo-Seal BASE layer is not present.
3. Aggregate: Contact the manufacturer to ensure the aggregate layer will not be detrimental to the membrane. The gravel layer must be compacted and rolled flat. Ideally a ¾” minus gravel layer with rounded edges should be specified; however the Geo-Seal system can accommodate a wide variety of different substrates. Contact Land Science Technologies if there are questions regarding the compatibility of Geo-Seal and the utilized substrate. Exercise caution when specifying pea gravel under the membrane, if not compacted properly, pea gravel can become an unstable substrate.

02 56 19.13-8
4. Mudslabs: The use of a mubslab under the Geo-Seal system is acceptable, contact Land Science for job specific requirements.
C. Mask off adjoining surface not receiving the vapor intrusion barrier system to prevent the spillage or over spray affecting other construction.
D. Earth, sand or gravel subgrades should be prepared and compacted to local building code requirements.
3.3 Concrete Surface Preparation
A. Clean and prepare concrete surface to manufacturer’s recommendations. In general, only apply the Geo-Seal CORE material to dry, clean and uniform substrates. Concrete surfaces must be a light trowel, light broom or equivalent finish. Remove fins, ridges and other projections and fill honeycomb, aggregate pockets, grout joints and tie holes, and other voids with hydraulic cement or rapid-set grout. It is the applicator’s responsibility to point out unacceptable substrate conditions to the general contractor and ensure the proper repairs are made.
B. When applying the Geo-Seal CORE or Geo-Seal CORE Detail material to concrete it is important to not apply the product over standing water. Applying over standing water will result in the membrane not setting up properly on the substrate
C. Surfaces may need to be wiped down or cleaned prior to application. This includes, but is not limited to, the removal of forming oils, concrete curing agents, dirt accumulation, and other debris. Contact form release agent manufacturer or concrete curing agent manufacturer for VOC content and proper methods for removing the respective agent.
D. Applying the Geo-Seal CORE to “green” concrete is acceptable and can be advantageous in creating a superior bond to the concrete surface. To help reduce blistering, apply a primer coat of only the asphalt component of the Geo-Seal CORE system. Some blistering of the membrane will occur and may be more severe on walls exposed to direct sunlight. Blistering is normal and will subside over time. Using a
needle nose depth gauge confirm that the specified mil thickness has been applied.
3.4 Preparations and Treatments of Terminations
A. Prepare the substrate surface in accordance with Section 3.3 of this document. Concrete surfaces that are not a light trowel, light broom or equivalent finish, will need to be repaired.
B. Terminations on horizontal and vertical surfaces should extend 6” onto the termination surface. Job specific conditions may prevent a 6” termination. In these conditions, contact manufacturer for recommendations.
C. Apply 30-mils of Geo-Seal CORE to the terminating surface and then embed the Geo-Seal BASE layer by pressing it firmly into the Geo-Seal CORE layer. Next, apply 60 mils of Geo-Seal CORE to the BASE layer. When complete, apply the Geo-Seal BOND layer. After the placement of the Geo-Seal BOND layer is complete, apply a final 30-mil seal of the Geo-Seal CORE layer over the edge of the termination. For further clarification, refer to the termination detail provided by manufacturer.
Land Science | 1011 Calle Sombra San Clemente, CA 92673 | T: [phone] | www.landsciencetech.com
02 56 19.13-9
D. The stated termination process is appropriate for terminating the membrane onto exterior footings, pile caps, interior footings and grade beams. When terminating the membrane to stem walls or vertical
surfaces the same process should be used.
3.5 Preparations and Treatments of Penetrations
A. All pipe penetrations should be securely in place prior to the installation of the Geo-Seal system. Any loose penetrations should be secured prior to Geo-Seal application, as loose penetrations could potentially exert pressure on the membrane and damage the membrane after installation.
B. To properly seal around penetrations, cut a piece of the Geo-Seal BASE layer that will extend 6” beyond the outside perimeter of the penetration. Cut a hole in the Geo-Seal BASE layer just big enough to slide over the penetration, ensuring the Geo-Seal BASE layer fits snug against the penetration, this can be done by cutting an “X” no larger than the inside diameter of the penetration. There should not be a gap larger than a 1/8” between the Geo-Seal BASE layer and the penetration. Other methods can also be utilized, provided, there is not a gap larger than 1/8” between the Geo-Seal BASE layer and the penetration.
C. Seal the Geo-Seal BASE layer using Geo-Seal CORE or Geo-Seal CORE Detail to the underlying Geo-Seal BASE layer.
D. Apply one coat of Geo-Seal CORE Detail or Geo-Seal CORE spray to the Geo-Seal BASE layer and around the penetration at a thickness of 30 mils. Penetrations should be treated in a 6-inch radius around penetration and 3 inches onto penetrating object.
E. Embed a fabric reinforcing strip after the first application of the Geo-Seal CORE spray or Geo-Seal CORE Detail material and then apply a second 30 mil coat over the embedded joint reinforcing strip ensuring its complete saturation of the embedded strip and tight seal around the penetration.
F. After the placement of the Geo-Seal BOND layer, a cable tie should then be placed around the finished penetration. The cable tie should be snug, but not overly tight so as to slice into the finished seal.
OPTION: A final application of Geo-Seal CORE may be used to provide a finishing seal after the Geo-Seal BOND layer has
been installed.
NOTE: Metal or other slick penetration surfaces may require treatment in order to achieve proper adhesion. For plastic pipes,
sand paper may be used to achieve a profile, an emery cloth is more appropriate for metal surfaces. An emery cloth should also
be used to remove any rust on metal surfaces.

02 56 19.13-10
3.6 Geo-Seal Base Layer Installation
A. Install the Geo-Seal BASE layer over substrate material in one direction with 6” overlaps and the geotextile (fabric side) facing down.
B. Secure the Geo-Seal BASE seams by applying 60 mils of Geo-Seal CORE between the 6” overlapped sheets with the geotextile side down.
C. Visually verify there are no gaps/fish-mouths in seams.
D. For best results, install an equal amount of Geo-Seal BASE and Geo-Seal CORE in one day. Leaving unsprayed Geo-Seal BASE overnight might allow excess moisture to collect on the Geo-Seal BASE.
If excess moisture collects, it needs to be removed.
NOTE: In windy conditions it might be necessary to encapsulate the seam by spraying the Geo-Seal CORE layer over
the completed Geo-Seal BASE seam
3.7 Geo-Seal Core Application
A. Set up spray equipment according to manufacturer’s instructions.
B. Mix and prepare materials according to manufacturer’s instructions.
C. The two catalyst nozzles (8001) should be adjusted to cross at about 18” from the end of the wand. This apex of catalyst and emulsion spray should then be less than 24” but greater than 12” from the desired surface when spraying. When properly sprayed the fan pattern of the catalyst should range between 65° and 80°.
D. Adjust the amount of catalyst used based on the ambient air temperature and surface temperature of the substrate receiving the membrane. In hot weather use less catalyst as hot conditions will quickly “break” the emulsion and facilitate the curing of the membrane. In cold conditions and on vertical surfaces use more catalyst to “break” the emulsion quicker to expedite curing and set up time in cold conditions.
E. To spray the Geo-Seal CORE layer, pull the trigger on the gun. A 42° fan pattern should form when properly sprayed. Apply one spray coat of Geo-Seal CORE to obtain a seamless membrane free from pinholes or shadows, with an average dry film thickness of 60 mils (1.52 mm).
F. Apply the Geo-Seal CORE layer in a spray pattern that is perpendicular to the application surface. The concern when spraying at an angle is that an area might be missed. Using a perpendicular spray pattern will limit voids and thin spots, and will also create a uniform and consistent membrane.
G. Verify film thickness of vapor intrusion barrier every 500 ft2. (46.45 m2), for information regarding Geo-Seal quality control measures, refer to the quality control procedures in Section 3.9 of this specification.
Land Science | 1011 Calle Sombra San Clemente, CA 92673 | T: [phone] | www.landsciencetech.com
02 56 19.13-11
H. The membrane will generally cure in 24 to 48 hours. As a rule, when temperature decreases or humidity increases, the curing of the membrane will be prolonged. The membrane does not need to be fully cured prior the placement of the Geo-Seal BOND layer, provided mil thickness has been verified and a smoke test will be conducted.
I. Do not penetrate membrane after it has been installed. If membrane is penetrated after the membrane is installed, it is the responsibility of the general contractor to notify the certified installer to make repairs.
J. If applying to a vertical concrete wall, apply Geo-Seal CORE directly to concrete surface and use manufacturer’s recommended protection material based on site specific conditions. If applying Geo-Seal against shoring, contact manufacturer for site specific installation instructions.
NOTE: Care should be taken to not trap moisture between the layers of the membrane. Trapping moisture may occur from
applying a second coat prior to the membrane curing. Repairs and detailing may be done over the Geo-Seal CORE layer
when not fully cured.
3.8 Geo-Seal Bond Protection Course Installation
A. Install Geo-Seal BOND protection course perpendicular to the direction of the Geo-Seal BASE course with overlapped seams over nominally cured membrane no later than recommended by manufacturer and before starting subsequent construction operations.
B. Sweep off any water that has collected on the surface of the Geo-Seal CORE layer, prior to the placement of the Geo-Seal BOND layer.
C. Overlap and seam the Geo-Seal BOND layer in the same manner as the Geo-Seal BASE layer.
D. To expedite the construction process, the Geo-Seal BOND layer can be placed over the Geo-Seal CORE immediately after the spray application is complete, provided the Geo-Seal CORE mil thickness has been verified.
3.9 Quality Assurance
A. The Geo-Seal system must be installed by a trained and certified installer approved by Land Science Technologies.
B. For projects that will require a material or labor material warranty, Land Science Technologies will require a manufacturer’s representative or certified 3rd party inspector to inspect and verify that the membrane has been installed per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The certified installer is responsible for contacting the inspector for inspection. Prior to application of the
membrane, a notice period for inspection should be agreed upon between the applicator and inspector.
Land Science | 1011 Calle Sombra San Clemente, CA 92673 | T: [phone] | www.landsciencetech.com
02 56 19.13-12
C. The measurement tools listed below will help verity the thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE layer. As measurement verification experience is gained, these tools will help confirm thickness measurements that can be obtained by pressing one’s fingers into the Geo-Seal CORE membrane.
To verify the mil thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE, the following measurement devices are required.
1. Mil reading caliper: Calipers are used to measure the thickness of coupon samples. To measure coupon samples correctly, the thickness of the Geo-Seal sheet layers (18 mils each) must be taken into account. Mark sample area for repair.
2. Wet mil thickness gauge: A wet mil thickness gauge may be used to quickly measure the mil thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE layer. The thickness of the Geo-Seal sheet layers do not factor into the mil thickness reading.
NOTE: When first using a wet mil thickness gauge on a project, collect coupon samples to verify the wet mil
gauge thickness readings.
3. Needle nose digital depth gauge: A needle nose depth gauge should be used when measuring the Geo-Seal CORE thickness on vertical walls or in field measurements. Mark measurement area for repair.
To obtain a proper wet mil thickness reading, take into account the 5 to 10 percent shrinkage that will occur as
the membrane fully cures. Not taking into account the thickness of the sheet layers, a freshly sprayed membrane
should have a minimum wet thickness of 63 (5%) to 66 (10%) mils.
Methods on how to properly conduct Geo-Seal CORE thickness sampling can be obtained by reviewing literature
prepared by Land Science.
D. It should be noted that taking too many destructive samples can be detrimental to the membrane. Areas where coupon samples have been removed need to be marked for repair.
E. Smoke Testing is highly recommended and is the ideal way to test the seal created around penetrations and terminations. Smoke Testing is conducted by pumping non-toxic smoke underneath the Geo-Seal vapor intrusion barrier and then repairing the areas where smoke appears. Refer to smoke testing protocol provided by Land Science Technologies. For projects that will require a material or labor material warranty, Land Science Technologies will require a smoke test.
F. Visual inspections prior to placement of concrete, but after the installation of concrete reinforcing, is recommended to identify any punctures that may have occurred during the installation of rebar, post tension cables, etc. Punctures in the Geo-Seal system should be easy to indentify due to the color contrasting layers of the system.

Geo-Seal Quality Control
Certified Applicator
Authorized installation of Geo-Seal can only be accomplished by one of Land Science Certified Applicators.
Membrane Inspections
For projects that will require a material or system ( workmanship and material) warranty, Land Science Technologies will require a manufacturer’s representative or certified 3rd party inspector to inspect and verify that the membrane has been installed per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The applicator is responsible for contacting the inspector for inspection. Prior to application of the membrane, a notice period for inspection should be agreed upon between the applicator and inspector.

Material Yield
Material yield is one of the first indicators in determining if the Geo-Seal CORE layer has been installed correctly. A baseline standard for yield is as follows:
The estimated yield is 17 ft2 per gallon for a 60 dry mil application using the recommended thickness, unless otherwise noted by a specified engineer or regulatory agency.
Yields can decrease based on the complexity of the foundation. Projects containing many penetrations and areas where a lot of detailing is required might reduce the material yield to 16 ft2 or 15 ft2 per gallon for a 60 mil membrane.
Land Science | 1011 Calle Sombra San Clemente, CA 92673 | T: [phone] | www.landsciencetech.com
02 56 19.13-31
Millage Verification
The measurement tools listed below will help verify the thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE layer. As measurement verification experience is gained, these tools will help confirm thickness measurements that can be obtained by pressing one’s fingers into the Geo-Seal CORE membrane.
To verify the mil thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE, the following measurement devices are required:
Mil reading caliper: Calipers are used to measure the thickness of coupon samples. To measure coupon samples correctly, the thickness of the Geo-Seal sheet layers must be taken into account (This is best done by obtaining a sample of the Geo-Seal BASE layer and then zeroing out the caliper to the Geo-Seal BASE layer). Mark sample area for repair.
Wet mil thickness gauge: A wet mil thickness gauge may be used to quickly measure the mil thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE layer. The thickness of the Geo-Seal sheet layers do not factor into the mil thickness reading, but the softness of the subgrade might result in inaccurate readings.
NOTE: When first using a wet mil thickness gauge on a project, collect coupon samples to verify the wet mil
gauge thickness readings.
Needle nose digital depth gauge: A needle nose depth gauge can be used when measuring the Geo-Seal CORE thickness on vertical walls or in field measurements. Mark measurement area for repair.
To obtain a proper wet mil thickness reading, take into account the 5 to 10 percent shrinkage that will occur as the membrane fully cures. Not taking into account the thickness of the sheet layers, a freshly sprayed membrane should have a minimum wet thickness of 63 (5%) to 66 (10%) mils.

Visual Inspections
The guidelines outlined in this section provide ways to quantify and observe the proper installation of the Geo-Seal system. However, a visual inspection should also be done to ensure any visual imperfections are not present, i.e. fish-mouths, punctures, voids, etc. During a visual inspection, punctures in the Geo-Seal
system should be easy to indentify due to the color contrasting layers of the system.
Membrane Testing Log
To aid in the inspection process and properly document the Geo-Seal membrane inspection, create a membrane testing log. We recommend creating the log by using the foundation plan (plan view) of the structure and then creating a 500 ft2 grid over the foundation. If this is not able to be done, enclosed is a membrane testing log template that can also be used. (Appendix E)
Wet Mil Thickness Readings
A wet mil thickness gauge is one method to verify the mil thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE layer. An advantage to this method is the ability to verify the Geo-Seal CORE thickness by minimizing destructive coupon sampling.
Land Science | 1011 Calle Sombra San Clemente, CA 92673 | T: [phone] | www.landsciencetech.com
02 56 19.13-32
1. Create a membrane testing log by obtaining a copy of the foundation plan and then draw a 500
ft2 grid over the foundation plan. Make two copies of the membrane testing log; one should
be used when collecting coupon samples and the other should be used when conducting the
smoke test.
2. Note time, date, project name, inspector name, temperature and weather conditions on testing
log.
3. Number each quadrant and inspect sequentially.
4. When arriving at each quadrant quickly assess if there are any conditions that might present
any challenges in establishing a proper seal. Note areas and discuss with applicator.
5. Conduct a visual inspection of the membrane. Look for areas where a proper seal was not
created, i.e.a fish-mouth at the termination and areas where the membrane might be sprayed
thin. Mark areas needed for repair in the field with florescent paint or with chalk. Also make a
note on the testing log.
6. Conduct a thickness sample in the area that is suspected to be sprayed thin and take three
readings within 3” of one another. When beginning a project, verify the wet mil gauge thickness
reading by cutting a coupon sample and measuring the thickness with a caliper. Once wet mil
thickness readings have been confirmed and established, confirm wet mil thickness periodically
by taking a coupon sample and caliper measurement.
7. After sampling 5 quadrants it is at the discretion of the inspector to continue collecting samples
every 500 ft2 or 1,000 ft2.
8. This method will verify the thickness of the Geo-Seal CORE layer prior to it fully curing.
Observed shrinkage of the Geo-Seal CORE layer during the curing process ranges from 5% to
10%. When taking uncured samples assume a minimum of 10% loss for horizontal surfaces and
5% for vertical surfaces. Assuming a 10% loss, the gauge should read a mil thickness between
65 and 70 mils (≥66 mils).
9. If using a wet mil gauge to verify a fully cured membrane the gauge should read 60 mils.
10. When testing is complete, send a copy of the membrane testing log to Land Science
Technologies. Keep the coupon samples for the file, or send them to Land Science
Technologies.
Coupon Sampling
Coupon sampling is the most accurate way to verify the Geo-Seal CORE thickness. However, please note that taking too many coupon samples, or destructive samples, can be counter-productive. To collect a coupon sample the following steps should be followed:
1. Create a membrane testing log by obtaining a copy of the foundation plan and then draw a 500 ft2 grid over the foundation plan. Make two copies of the membrane testing log, one should be used when collecting coupon samples and the other should be used when conducting the smoke test.
2. Note time, date, project name, inspector name, temperature and weather conditions on testing log.
Land Science | 1011 Calle Sombra San Clemente, CA 92673 | T: [phone] | www.landsciencetech.com
02 56 19.13-33
3. Number each quadrant and inspect sequentially.
4. When arriving at each quadrant quickly assess if there are any conditions that might present any challenges in establishing a proper seal. Note areas and discuss with applicator.
5. Conduct a visual inspection of the membrane. Look for areas where a proper seal was not created, i.e. a fish-mouth at the termination and areas where the membrane might be sprayed thin. Mark areas needed for repair in the field with florescent paint or with chalk. Also make a note on the testing log.
6. Calibrate mil reading caliper to account for the thickness of the Geo-Seal BASE layer. This is best done by obtaining a sample of the Geo-Seal BASE layer and then zeroing out the caliper to the Geo-Seal BASE layer.
7. Collect a coupon sample in the area that is suspected to be sprayed thin. Use a box cutter to cut a 3 square inch sample from the membrane. Measure each side to confirm the specified minimum thickness has been obtained. Number each sample and save in the job file. Mark the area for repair in the field and on the site plan.
8. After sampling 5 quadrants it is at the discretion of the inspector to continue collecting samples every 500 ft2 or 1,000 ft2.
9. Samples may be collected prior to the Geo-Seal CORE layer fully curing. Observed shrinkage of the Geo-Seal CORE layer during the curing process for horizontal surfaces is 10%. Assuming a 10% loss, a minimum of 66 mills thickness should be measured for a cured measurement of 60 mils.
10. When testing is complete, send a copy of the membrane testing log to Land Science. Keep the coupon samples for the file, or send them to Land Science.
Smoke Testing
This test is intended to visually verify and confirm the proper installation of the Geo-Seal system. Land Science requires a smoke test on all projects in order to obtain a warranty. The smoke test will be performed by the applicator.
Smoke testing should occur after the Geo-Seal CORE layer has been installed and mil thickness verified. Smoke testing may occur after the Geo-Seal BOND layer is installed, if preferred by the applicator. Upon completion of the original smoke test, additional smoke tests can be conducted per the membrane manufacturer’s, specifying engineer or regulatory agency’s request. To conduct a smoke test follow these steps:
1. One smoke test can cover between 2000-3000 ft2 per test. However, coverage will greatly depend on the sub grade under the membrane. On sites where multiple smoke tests will be needed, use the first two smoke tests to estimate the coverage area per test.
2. Visual verification of soundness of seams, terminations and penetrations should be performed. Identify/correct any apparent deficiencies and/or installation problems.
3. Note time, date, project name, inspector name, temperature and weather conditions on testing log. In addition, record humidity, barometric pressure, and wind speed/direction. Confirm wind speed is below 15 mph. Visual identification of leaks becomes more difficult with increasing wind speed.
Land Science | 1011 Calle Sombra San Clemente, CA 92673 | T: [phone] | www.landsciencetech.com
02 56 19.13-34
4. Cap other vent outlet(s) not being used. If the installation has no sub-slab vent system or the membrane is isolated from the vent system, connect the smoke testing system directly to the membrane using a temporary boot collar or other method. Insert the smoke test hose into coupon sampling locations, creating a seal around the smoke test hose with a rag.
5. Activate the smoke generator/blower system and connect to sub-slab vent riser or directly to the membrane.
6. To confirm the adequate flow of smoke under the membrane cut a 2” vent in the membrane to facilitate the purging of air pockets under it. If working properly, smoke will consistently flow though the 2” vent. If a low rate of smoke flow is observed it is an indication of poor smoke flow under the membrane. If low flow does occur, insert the smoke testing hose into the 2” membrane vent.
7. Mark sampling locations with fluorescent paint or chalk. Repair sampling locations per Land Science recommendations
8. Maintain operation of smoke generator/blower system for at least 15 minutes following purging of membrane. Thoroughly inspect entire membrane surface. Use fluorescent paint or chalk to mark/label any leak locations. Mark/label leak locations on testing log. NOTE: The duration of the smoke test will vary depending on the size of the area being tested. To help determine the duration, monitor the pressure building up under the membrane. If excessive lifting of the membrane occurs, decrease the duration or pressure of the smoke test.
9. Prepare membrane inspection log. Identify the type of leak found, i.e. poor seal around penetration, fish-mouth, puncture, etc.
10. Repair leak locations marked in step 7 and step 8 per procedures outlined in “Geo-Seal Repair Procedures” section using Geo-Seal CORE or Geo-Seal DETAIL.
11. Repeat steps 4 through 10 as necessary to confirm the integrity of the membrane.
12. Complete the smoke testing inspection form indicating the successful completion of the smoke test.
Post-Installation Inspection
After a manufacturer’s representative or 3rd party inspector signs off on the membrane installation and the steel workers begin to install the rebar, it is recommended to conduct a visual inspection prior to the pouring of concrete. Damages are most likely to occur during this time and it is imperative that punctures are indentified prior to the placement of the slab. The system configuration of Geo-Seal, the top white Geo-Seal BOND layer with a middle black layer, will make rebar punctures easy to identify when conducting a visual inspection.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
1)Operate the Test/Reset button;
2)Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911);
3)Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open
door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away
from the open door/window until the emergency services
responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and
your alarm remains in its normal condition.
4)After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24
hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance
technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning
equipment and appliances, and to inspect for proper operation
of equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equip-
ment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not
inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, or contact the manufacturer’s directly for more information
about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles
are not, or have not been, operating in a garage attached or adja-
cent to the residence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been
corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will
terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert
in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the
unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels
of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation.
WARNING:Activation of the CO
Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.

Gas Alarm Procedure
When the unit senses either natural gas or propane, the display will
show “GAS” and emit a loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern for gas
is a 1/2 second beep followed by a 1/2 second of silence then repeat-
ing. Know how to respond to a CO or gas emergency.
If the unit alarms for gas:
1)Evacuate the premises;
2)Do not activate any electrical switch or telephone;
3)Contact your fire department.
NOTE: If Gas is present the unit will continue to alarm even if
the “Test/Reset” button is pressed. Unit will stop alarming if
gas is removed.
WARNING:Activation of the Gas
Alarm indicates the presence of an
explosive gas which can cause an
explosion and/or fire.

WelcomeNote: Many times throughout this User’s Guide, we will refer to
Carbon Monoxide as “CO”. The words “Gas” or “Explosive Gas”
will refer to Natural Gas or Propane.
This Kidde carbon monoxide (CO) and gas alarm is an important part of
your family’s home safety plan. This alarm has been designed and tested
to detect CO and gas buildup in a residential environment. Your alarm is
for use specifically in the home. As an owner of a CO and gas alarm,
there are some basic facts you should know about for your protection.
Many people think that CO and gas alarms operate like smoke alarms.
Like smoke alarms, CO and gas alarms monitor the air in your home and
sound a loud alarm to warn you of trouble. The way you respond to a
CO and gas alarm is quite different than a smoke alarm. That’s because
a house fire and a CO or gas problem are distinctly different situations. If
your smoke alarm were to alarm, you would quickly be able to judge the
level of danger you were in with your senses. You can see and smell the
smoke, feel the heat, see, and possibly hear the fire burning. You can
also readily see if your smoke alarm is alarming in a non-emergency situ-
ation. Because your sense of sight, smell, hearing and touch give you
information, you can almost instantly judge what action to take if you
hear your smoke alarm.
CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas – completely
undetectable to your senses. That’s why it is important to your safety
that you have a CO alarm.
Note: Refer to Section 1 for information about natural gas and propane.
Important Warning Statements
IMPORTANT: This carbon monoxide and gas alarm is designed to
detect carbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. This
alarm will also detect the presence of natural gas or propane. It is
NOT designed to detect smoke or fire.
WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarms are not smoke alarms. This
carbon monoxide alarm is not a substitute for installing and
maintaining an appropriate number of smoke alarms in your
home.
This carbon monoxide and gas alarm will not sense smoke or fire,
even though carbon monoxide can be generated by fire. For this
reason you must install smoke alarms to provide early warning of
fire and to protect you and your family from fire and its related
hazards.

Important Warning StatementsCAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide, natural gas or propane at the sensor. Carbon monox-
ide, natural gas or propane may be present in other areas.
WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor
locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure com-
pliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), commercial or industrial standards. It is not suitable for
installation in hazardous locations as defined in the National
Electric Code.
The installation of this device should not be used as a substitute
for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning
appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust sys-
tems. It does not prevent CO or gas from occurring, nor can it
solve and existing CO or gas problem.
WARNING: This device is designed to protect individuals from
acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It may not fully safe-
guard individuals with specific medical conditions. If in doubt,
consult a medical practitioner.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning
devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon
monoxide concentrations under 30 PPM.
This carbon monoxide and gas alarm requires a continuous supply
of electrical power – it will not work without power. Models
without battery backup will not operate during power failure.
The alarm will detect carbon monoxide primarily and explosive
gas secondarily. CO events will take presidence over explosive
gas events.
This alarm has not been investigated for carbon monoxide detec-
tion below 70 PPM.

General Carbon Monoxide Information
CO is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal
when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen.
Periodically review this alarm manual and discuss your CO alarm emer-
gency procedure with all the members of your family. Never ignore a CO
alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of
CO. CO alarms are designed to alert you to the presence of CO before
an emergency – before most people would experience symptoms of CO
poisoning, giving you time to resolve the problem calmly.
Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of CO
poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while
victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are
unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for
assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first
affected. You should take extra precautions to protect high-risk persons
from CO exposure because they may experience ill effects from CO at
levels that would not ordinarily affect a healthy adult.
Symptoms of CO Poisoning
The following common symptoms are related to CO poisoning and
should be discussed with ALL members of the household.
Mild Exposure:
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like”
symptoms).
Medium Exposure:
Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure:
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death.
If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your
doctor immediately!
Carbon Monoxide PPM Levels
Model KN-COEG-3 is equipped with a digital display that shows levels of
CO (displayed in PPM – parts per million). Learn the difference between
dangerous, high, mid and low levels.
Dangerous Levels:
When someone is experiencing symptoms of CO poisoning and CO
readings are generally above 100 PPM. Anytime someone is experiencing
the symptoms of CO poisoning this should be treated as an emergency.
1. Information About Carbon Monoxideand Explosive Gas2509-7214-01(820-1557B ):_ 2010.2.1 9:27 AM Page 6
See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
High Levels:
Generally above 100 PPM, with no one experiencing symptoms. This
should be treated as an urgent situation. See “What to do When the
Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
Mid Levels:
Generally between 50 PPM to 100 PPM. This should be cause for
concern and should not be ignored or dismissed. See “What to do
When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
Low Levels:
Generally below 50 PPM. Kidde recommends you take action to
eliminate the source of CO. See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds”
(inside front cover).
Possible Sources of Carbon Monoxide
Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most
likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also
produce dangerous levels of CO.
CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel, such as gasoline,
propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel-
burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not
ventilated correctly, such as:
• Automobiles, furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water
heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters and generators,
fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters.
• Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in air pressure,
corroded or disconnected vent pipes, loose or cracked furnace
exchangers.
• Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an open or closed
garage, attached or near a home.
• Burning charcoal or fuel in grills and hibachis in an enclosed area.
Conditions That Can Produce Carbon Monoxide
The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:
• Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused
by outdoor ambient conditions, such as, wind direction and/or veloci-
ty, including high gusts of wind, heavy air in the vent pipes
(cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
1. Information About Carbon Monoxideand Explosive Gas2509-7214-01(820-1557B ):_ 2010.2.1 9:27 AM Page 7
• Negative pressure resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing
for limited internal air.
• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or
water heaters.
• Obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs which can
amplify the above situations.
• Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven,
fireplace, etc.).
• Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
• Vehicle idling in an open or closed garage, or near a home.
To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home. Keep fuel-
burning appliances and their chimneys and vents in good working condi-
tion. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if you suspect CO poi-
soning, move outside to fresh air and get emergency help. Your first line
of defense is an annual inspection and regular maintenance of your
appliances. Contact a licensed contractor or call your local utility compa-
ny for assistance.
Information About Carbon Monoxide Alarms –
What They Can and Cannot Do:
CO alarms provide early warning of the presence of CO, usually before a
healthy adult would experience symptoms. This early warning is possible,
however, only if your CO alarm is located, installed and maintained as
described in this guide.
Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term exposures
to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to
high levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted alarm – the higher the
level of CO present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.
This CO alarm can only warn you of the presence of CO. It does not
prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO problem. If
your unit has alarmed and you’ve provided ventilation by leaving your
windows and doors open, the CO buildup may have dissipated by the
time help responds. Although your problem may appear to be
temporarily solved, it’s crucial that the source of the CO is determined
and that the appropriate repairs are made.
1. Information About Carbon Monoxideand Explosive Gas2509-7214-01(820-1557B ):_ 2010.2.1 9:27 AM Page 8
This CO alarm is designed to act as a monitor; it is not designed for use
as a short-term testing device to perform a quick check for the presence
of CO.
CO alarms have limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO alarms
are not fool-proof. CO alarms have a limited operational life. You must
test your CO alarm weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time.
If your CO alarm fails to test properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals
a malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced. This alarm will not
monitor CO levels while in an error condition.
CO alarms can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. It’s possible
that CO may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. The
rate and ability that which CO reaches the alarm may be affected by:
• Doors or other obstructions.
• Fresh air from a vent, an open window or other source.
• CO being present on one level of the home and not reach a CO alarm
installed on a different level. (For example, CO in the basement may
not reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms).
For these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by
placing a CO alarm on every level of the home. Please carefully read all
information on properly installing this CO alarm.
CO alarms should not be used to detect the presence of natural gas
(methane), propane, butane, or other combustible fuels.
Instruct children never to touch, unplug or otherwise interfere with the
alarm. Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning.
General Information About Explosive Gas:
Natural Gas is typically supplied through a main utility line connected to
your home. If you do not live in a rural area you are likely to be a user of
natural gas. Natural gas is much lighter than air and will rise rapidly. If
you are a user of natural gas, mount your CO and Gas alarm 12 inches
away from the ceiling to ensure the earliest opportunity to detect a leak.
Propane is typically supplied to homes via delivery truck in liquid form
and stored near the home in propane tanks. Propane and LP-gas (lique-
fied petroleum) are often used synonymously. Propane is much heavier
than air and will collect at lower levels. If you are a user of propane,
mount your CO and Gas alarm near the floor to ensure the earliest
opportunity to detect a leak.

Both propane and natural gas are colorless and odorless. For safety rea-
sons, an odorant (Mercaptan) is added so that any leak can be detected
by smell. The common detection threshold for smelling the gases is
around 20% of the lower explosion limit (LEL). This can vary greatly
depending on the individuals’ sense of smell and how long they have
been exposed to either gas. The LEL of each of these gases defines the
bottom range of flammability for the gas. Your CO and Gas alarm is cali-
brated to alarm before 25% of the LEL of either gas detected. Therefore,
it is possible that you may smell gas before the alarm activates.

Recommended Installation Locations
CO and Gas alarms should be
mounted in or near bedrooms and
living areas. It is recommended that
you install a CO and Gas alarm on
each level of your home.
When choosing your installation
locations, make sure you can hear
the alarm from all sleeping areas. If
you install only one CO and Gas alarm in your home, install it near bed-
rooms, not in the basement or furnace room.
• When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no cir-
cumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO and Gas
alarm.
• Mounting the CO and Gas alarm should depend on the type of explo-
sive gas you intend to detect:
– If you are a user of natural gas, mount your CO and Gas alarm high
on the wall (no closer than six inches from the ceiling) to ensure the
earliest opportunity to detect a natural gas leak.
– If you are a user of propane, mount your CO and Gas alarm near
the floor to ensure the earliest opportunity to detect a propane
leak.
Locations To Avoid
IMPORTANT:Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com-
ponents in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide
optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:
• Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose
the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F
(4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces, attics,
porches and garages.
• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde
recommends 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms).
• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air
ventilation openings.
• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly
exposed to the weather.

How to Install Your Alarm
Your Kidde CO and Gas alarm with its removable adapter allows you to
install the alarm as a wall mounted unit, a direct plug unit, or as a table
top unit.
Direct Plug Alarm
In its “as shipped” configuration, all you need
to do is install the 9V backup battery and your
Kidde CO and Gas alarm is ready to be plugged
directly into a wall socket.
To install:
1. Choose a standard 120V unswitched outlet
to plug the alarm into.
2. Pull the slide support out approximately 1/4”
until the slide snaps into place. This will
help support unit in the wall outlet.
3. Plug the alarm into the outlet.
If the outlet is mounted horizontally (sideways):
If you are going to use your alarm as a direct plug and you are going to
plug in to an outlet that is mounted horizontally (sideways), you will
need to rotate the adapter 90˚.
To rotate the adapter:
1. Remove back door by sliding it down and out.

• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or
gabled roofs, where CO or gas may not reach the sensor in time to
provide early warning.
• Do not install this unit near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than opti-
mum performance.
• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the
alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air to
the vents.
• Do not install on a switched or dimmer-controlled outlet.

2. Spread adapter thumb releases out and
carefully turn alarm over. This will allow
adapter to slide out.
3. Lift the adapter completely out of the alarm
and rotate the adapter 90˚ to the right
(clockwise). Snap it firmly back into place.
4. Carefully replace the back door. Insure the
“latches” on all four corners of the door are
lined up, then press the door securely into
place.
5. Plug the alarm into an unswitched wall
socket.
Wall Mounted Alarm
Installation tips for power cord models:
The power cord option provides more flexi-
bility in mounting locations and allows the
alarm to be easily installed at eye level.
For a wall-mounted unit, you will need to
pull out the removable adapter and power
cord.
To install:
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 in the previous
section under “To Rotate the Adapter.”
2. With the adapter removed, pull the
power cord out of the cord recess,
remove the twist tie, and extend the
power cord.
3. With the power cord extended, press the
last few inches of the power cord back
into the cord recess. Gently pull the cord at the bottom of the cord
recess until the cord becomes taught and lays flat in cord recess.
4. Carefully replace the back door. Insure the “latches” on all four cor-
ners of the door are lined up, then press the door securely into place.
5. Mark the location for the two mounting holes on the wall spaced ver-
tically 2 5/8" apart.
6. If you are mounting the alarm in plaster board or drywall, drill a 3/16"
hole into the wall and insert the plastic anchors provided. Install the

5. Alarm Characteristics
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator
This CO and Gas alarm is designed to act as a monitor. It is not
designed for use as a short term testing device to perform a quick check
for the presence of CO or gas.
When the alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a
loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is 4 quick beeps followed by 5
seconds of silence. This cycle repeats as long as a dangerous CO condi-
tions exist. The digital display will indicate the CO concentration in parts
per million (PPM).
When the unit senses either natural gas or propane, the display will
show “GAS” and emit a loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern for gas is
1/2 second beep followed by a 1/2 second of silence then repeating.
In all cases, the unit will detect CO as a priority over gas. If the unit is
detecting gas, then detects an amount of CO to cause an alarm, the
unit will stop alarming for gas and alarm for CO.
two screws provided into the wall or wall anchors
until the screw head is approximately 1/8" from the
wall.
7. Hook the unit over the screw head and into the key-
hole in back of the unit.
8. Plug the adapter into an unswitched wall socket.
Table Top Alarm
You can use your CO and Gas alarm as a table top
unit. Follow steps 1 thru 4 above. Instead of mounting
the unit to a wall, pull out the slide support and place
in a location that is easily visible. Be sure the alarm is no more than three
feet from the floor.
Important Labels Provided
Two labels have been provided that have important information on what
to do in case of an alarm. Add the phone number of your emergency
service provider in the space provided. Place one label next to the alarm
after it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air source such as a door
or window.

5. Alarm CharacteristicsWARNING:When powered by battery backup only; after four minutes,
this alarm pattern occurs only every 60 seconds, until the alarm is reset
or the CO is eliminated.
• The digital display will show a the PPM of CO or show “GAS” only if
it senses carbon monoxide or gas while in backup mode.
• If gas is detected while on battery backup, the unit will display “GAS”
and alarm in 1/2 second beeps. For the first four minutes after the
unit goes into battery backup operation, the explosive gas sensor will
operate as if on AC power.
However, after four minutes, to extend battery life, the unit will go into
battery conserve mode and will only sample for explosive gas once every
eight minutes. Explosive gas could be present during this 8-minute peri-
od without the unit going into alarm. If the alarm is on battery backup
for an extended period of time, replace the battery to ensure maximum
protection is provided. The battery will last only a couple hours in a gas
alarm condition.
WARNING:If at any time you test the alarm and it does not perform as
described, have it replaced immediately.
Whenever the CO and Gas alarm is first powered up, it will sound briefly
to let you know it is receiving power and that the alarm is functioning.
You will see three eights on the digital display, indicating the alarm is in
the start-up mode. The three eights will remain for approximately 20
seconds. You will see a blinking red dot to the lower right of the digital
display. The blinking dot shows that the alarm is operating.
Within 20 seconds, your CO and Gas alarm will start monitoring for CO.
Within 2 minutes your alarm will start monitoring for gas. This alarm will
display a 0 if CO concentrations between 0 and 30 PPM have been
detected within the last 15 seconds. The alarm has begun monitoring
the air for CO and gas and will continue to as long as it receives power.
When the alarm is unplugged or loses power and a good 9V bat-
tery is installed: The alarm will automatically switch to its battery back-
up mode and you will notice the following:
• After 4 minutes the digital display will show a blinking dot only – this
helps conserve the battery’s power.

If the battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions, it will display
other readings (and alarm differently) to alert you of specific conditions.
Please familiarize yourself, and other family members, to the difference
between a CO reading and and indication signifying a problem with the
unit itself.
NOTE: When AC power is restored, the alarm will automatically switch
back to normal operating mode.
The alarm will not detect CO or gas if battery is depleted. Replace bat-
tery.
The following table illustrates the possible digital displays, describes the
audible alarm patterns, and the recommended actions to take.

Peak Level Memory
When the Peak Level button is pressed and held, the display shows the
highest CO reading taken by the CO alarm since its last reset or power
up. The Peak Level display feature will display levels between 11-999
PPM. Although the Peak Level feature will display levels below 30 PPM,
these levels will not result in an alarm no matter how long the device is
exposed to these levels. The Peak Level feature is helpful in identifying if
you have had a CO reading since resetting the alarm.
Concentrations of CO between 1 and 30 PPM can often occur in nor-
mal, everyday conditions. Concentrations of CO below 30 PPM may be
an indication of a transient condition that may appear today and never
reappear. Some CO conditions may start out as low level leaks but could
develop into CO concentrations that may become harmful.
Peak Level Memory Reset
Press the Peak Level button; with the button still pressed, press the
Test/Reset button for two seconds and release. The number on the dis-
play will turn to “0”, the memory will be cleared and the alarm will
begin monitoring for CO. The Peak Level memory is also reset when the
unit loses power.

7. MaintenanceNOTE: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.
Due to the loudness of the alarm, we suggest that you place your
fingers over the sounder opening while testing your alarm.
CAUTION: Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this
alarm over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
Testing
Observe the alarm weekly to make sure the red dot is blinking, indicat-
ing normal operation.
If the dot is not blinking, unplug the alarm for three minutes, then plug
in again. This will clear the alarm for restart. If the dot does not resume
blinking, your alarm may be malfunctioning.
To test the alarm,press the Test/Reset button. If the alarm is operating
properly, you will notice the following:
• The display shows three “eights”, then shows the word “GAS” while
the alarm is sounding three short “beeps”. Then, the display shows a
number (usually around 200). You will then hear four quick “beeps” –
followed by five seconds of silence – followed by four quick “beeps”
repeating until reset stops. The unit will then show three “eights” for
several seconds. It will then return to monitoring for CO and gas.
Familiarize yourself and household members with the alarm pattern
described above for a CO or gas event. While on AC power, in the event
of a CO or gas incident, the appropriate pattern will continue to repeat
as long as CO or gas is present.
NOTE:Pressing the Test/Reset button tests the functions of the alarm’s
internal components, circuitry and micro-computer. You do not need
to press the Test/Reset button to take a CO or gas reading.CO
readings or the presence of gas are automatically shown on the alarm’s
digital display. If the alarm shows “0”, then no measurable amount of
CO or gas has been sensed by the alarm within the past 15 seconds.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: This CO and Gas alarm is not battery operated.However,
this alarm is equipped with 9 volt battery backup – the 9 volt battery is
to supply short term back-up during a power outage.
When replacing the battery, use one of the following approved brands:
• Duracell MN1604 or MX1604
• Energizer 522
• Gold Peak 1604A
2509-7214-01(820-1557B ):_ 2010.2.1 9:27 AM Page 19
7. MaintenanceThese batteries can be purchased where you bought the alarm or at a
local hardware store. Use of a different battery may have a detrimental
effect on the alarm operation.
The 9 volt battery is not rechargeable. If the 9 volt battery is missing,
disconnected, or if the battery’s power is low, “Lb” will be displayed
alternately with the current CO reading once every second accompanied
by an audible beep every 15 seconds. If this happens, the battery must
be replaced.
To replace battery:
Remove back door by sliding it down and out. Remove battery by
unsnapping it from the battery clip. Install a new battery by connecting
it to the battery clip and place into the recessed battery cavity. Reinstall
the back door of the unit.
IMPORTANT:Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce
battery life. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once
a year, or at the same time as you change your clocks for daylight saving
time.
After installing or changing the battery, reinstall your alarm. Test your
alarm by using the Test/Reset button and check that the display is on.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow these steps:
• Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button.
• Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove accumulated dust.
• Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can
permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near
the alarm.
• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with
proper sensor operation.
2509-7214-01(820-1557B ):_ 2010.2.1 9:27 AM Page 20
7. MaintenanceMove the CO and Gas alarm to a remote location, to prevent possible
damage or contamination of the sensor, prior to performing any of the
following:
• Staining or stripping floors or furniture, painting or wall-papering
• Using aerosols or adhesives
WARNING:Reinstall the CO and Gas alarm as soon as possible to assure
continuous protection.
The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the
sensor or cause temporary readings that are not CO readings:
• Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl
acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide.
• Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol based products, paint, thinner, sol-
vent, adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto exhaust (cold
start) and some cleaning agents.

21Differential Pressure GagesPRESSUREBezel provides flange for flush mounting in panel.
Clear plastic face is highly resistant to breakage. Provides undistorted viewing of pointer and scale.
Precision litho-printed scale is accurate and easy to read.
Calibrated range spring is flat spring steel. Small amplitude of motion assures consistency and long life. It reacts to pressure on diaphragm. Live length adjustable for calibration.
Red tipped pointer of heat treated aluminum tubing is easy to see. It is rigidly mounted on the helix shaft.
Pointer stops of molded rubber prevent pointer over-travel without damage.
“Wishbone” assembly provides mounting for helix, helix bearings and pointer shaft.
Jeweled bearings are shock-resistant mounted; provide virtually friction-free motion for helix. Motion damped with high viscosity silicone fluid.
Helix is precision made from an alloy of high magnetic permeability. Mounted in jeweled bearings, it turns freely, following the magnetic field to move the pointer across the scale.
Zero adjustment screw is conveniently located in the plastic cover, and is accessible without removing cover. O-ring seal provides pressure tightness.
O-ring seal for cover assures pressure integrity of case.
OVERPRESSURE PROTECTIONBlowout plug is comprised of a rubber plug on the rear which functions as a relief valve by unseating and venting the gage interior when over pressure reaches approximately 25 psig (1.7 bar). To provide a free path for pressure relief, there are four spacer pads which maintain 0.023˝ clearance when gage is surface mounted. Do not obstruct the gap created by these pads.The blowout plug is not used on models above 180˝ of water pressure, medium or high pressure models, or on gages which require an elastomer other than silicone for the diaphragm.The blowout plug should not be used as a system overpressure control. High supply pressures may still cause the gage to fail due to over pressurization, resulting in property damage or serious injury. Good engineering practices should be utilized to prevent your system from exceeding the ratings of any component.
Die cast aluminum case is precision made and iridite-dipped to withstand 168 hour salt spray corrosion test. Exterior finished in baked dark gray hammerloid. One case size is used for all standard pressure options, and for both surface and flush mounting.
Silicone rubber diaphragm with integrally molded O-ring is supported by front and rear plates. It is locked and sealed in position with a sealing plate and retaining ring. Diaphragm motion is restricted to prevent damage due to overpressures.
Samarium Cobalt magnet mounted at one end of range spring rotates helix without mechanical linkages.
VELOCITY AND VOLUMETRIC FLOW UNITSScales are available on the Magnehelic® gage that read in velocity units (FPM, m/s) or volumetric flow units (SCFM, m3/s, m3/h). Stocked velocity units with dual range scales in inches w.c. and feet per minute are shown above. For other ranges contact the factory. When ordering volumetric flow scales please specify the maximum flow rate and its corresponding pressure.Example: 0.5 in w.c. = 16,000 CFM.A-310A

Storage
Store Vulkem 45SSL in original, undamaged packaging in a clean, dry,
protected location with temperatures between 40 to 110 ˚F (5 to 43 ˚C).
Applicable Standards
Vulkem 45SSL meets or exceeds the requirements of the following
specifications:
 ASTM C920, Type S, Grade P, Class 35, Use T, M, A, O and I (Class 2)
 CAN/CGSB 19.13-M87, MC-1-25-B-N
 ASTM E 1966/UL 2079
Fire Rated Systems
FF-D-1062, and FW-D-1058
Limitations
 Use with adequate ventilation.
 Always utilize the accompanying MSDS for information on Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and Health Hazards.
 Vulkem 45SSL is not recommended for use in chlorinated, potable, heavy
or waste water.
 Although Vulkem 45SSL is paintable, this does not imply adhesion to and
compatibility with all paints. Please refer to Tremco Technical Bulletin No.
S-09-05 for more information.
Substrate Preparation
Surfaces must be sound and clean. All release agents, existing
waterproofing, dust, loose mortar, paints, other finishes or field applied
coating must be removed. This can be accomplished with a thorough wire
brushing, grinding, sandblasting, or solvent washing, depending on the
contamination.
Tremco recommends that surface temperatures be 40 ˚F (5 ˚C) or above at
the time the sealant is applied. If sealant must be applied in temperatures
below 40 ˚F, please refer to the Tremco Technical Bulletin for Applying
Sealants in Cold Conditions (No. S-08-44 rev 1) that can be found on our
website at www.tremcosealants.com
Priming
Vulkem 45SSL typically adheres to common construction substrates without
primers. However, Tremco always recommends that a mock-up or field
adhesion test be performed on the actual materials being used on the job to
verify the need for a primer, proper cleaning and prep requirements. A
description of the field adhesion test can be found in appendix X1 of ASTM
C1193, Standard Guide for Use of Joint Sealants.
Where deemed necessary, use Vulkem® Primer #191 Low-VOC QD on
porous substrates and TREMprime® Non-Porous Primer for metals or
plastics.
Application
Vulkem 45SSL is easy to apply with conventional caulking equipment. Ensure
that the backer rod is properly friction-fitted and any primers have been
applied.
Fill the joint completely with a proper width-to-depth ratio, and then tool to
ensure intimate contact of sealant with joint substrates.
Dry tooling is always preferred, although compatible wetting agents can be
used in limited amounts to slick the spatula if needed after an initial pass.
For a cleaner finish, mask the sides of the joint with tape prior to filling.
Joint Design
Vulkem 45SSL may be used in horizontal joints designed in accordance with
accepted architectural/engineering practices. Joint width should be 4 times
anticipated movement but not less than 1/4" (6 mm).
Joint Backing
Polyethylene backer rod is recommended as joint backing to control sealant
depth and ensure intimate contact of sealant with joint substrate when
tooling. Where depth of joint will prevent the use of backer rod, an adhesive
backed polyethylene tape (bond breaker tape) should be used to prevent
three-sided adhesion. All backing should be dry at the time of sealant
application.

Vulkem ® 45SSL
Semi-Self-Leveling, Single-Component, Polyurethane Sealant

www.tremcosealants.com Page 2 of 3

Sealant Dimensions
W = Sealant width, D = Sealant depth,

Expansion Joints- The minimum width and depth of any sealant application should be 1/4" x 1/4" (6 mm x 6 mm). The depth (D) of sealant may be equal
to width (W) of joints that are less than 1/2" wide.
For joints ranging from 1/2" to 1" (13 mm to 25 mm) wide, the sealant depth
should be approximately one-half of the joint width. The maximum depth (D)
of any sealant application should be 1/2" (13 mm). For joints that are wider
than 1" (25 mm) contact Tremco Technical Services or your local Tremco
Sales Representative.
Cure Time
At 75 °F (23.9 °C), 50% RH a skin forms within 5 hr. Curing continues at a
rate of approximately 1/16" (1.6 mm) per day. The cure time will increase as
the temperature and/or humidity decrease. A good rule of thumb is one additional day of cure for every 10 °F decrease in temperature. Cure time can
be increased by adding water when using pails of Vulkem 45SSL. Please
refer to the Technical Bulletin on Vulkem 45SSL Activator that can be found on our website at: www.tremcosealants.com
Clean Up
Excess sealant and smears adjacent to the joint interface can be carefully
removed with xylene or mineral spirits before the sealant cures. Any utensils
used for tooling can also be cleaned with xylene or mineral spirits.
Warranty
Tremco warrants its Products to be free of defects in materials, but makes no warranty as to appearance or color. Since methods of application and on-site
conditions are beyond our control and can affect performance, Tremco
makes no other warranty, expressed or implied including warranties of MERCHANTABILITY and FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE with
respect to Tremco Products. Tremco’s sole obligation shall be, at its option,
to replace or refund the purchase price of the quantity of Tremco Products proven to be defective, and Tremco shall not be liable for any loss or
damage.

Sealant Dimensions
W = Sealant width, D = Sealant depth, C = Contact area.

EXPANSION JOINTS - The minimum width and depth of any sealant
application should be 1/4" x 1/4" (6 mm x 6 mm). The depth (D) of sealant
may be equal to the width (W) of joints that are less than 1/2" (13 mm) wide.
For joints ranging from 1/2" to 1" (13 mm to 25 mm) wide, the sealant depth
should be approximately one-half of the joint width. The maximum depth (D)
of any sealant application should be 1/2" (13 mm). For joints that are wider
than 1" (25 mm) contact Tremco’s Technical Service Department, or your
local Tremco Sales Representative.
WINDOW PERIMETER – For fillet beads, or angle beads around windows
and doors, the sealant should exhibit a minimum surface contact area [C] of
1/4" (6 mm) onto each substrate, with provisions for release at the heel of the
angle using backer rod or bond breaker tape.
Cure Time
Vulkem 116 generally cures at a rate of 1/16" (2 mm) per day at 75 °F (24
°C) and 50% RH. It will skin in 5 hr and be tack free in 30 hr. The cure time
will increase as temperatures and/or humidity decrease. A good rule of thumb is one additional day for every 10 °F decrease in temperature.
Clean Up
Excess sealant and smears adjacent to the joint interface can be carefully
removed with xylene or mineral spirits before the sealant cures. Any utensils
used for tooling can also be cleaned with xylene or mineral spirits.
