On behalf of Durham Technical Community College (DTCC), Terracon Consultants, Inc.
(Terracon) is pleased to submit these monitoring results for the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation
System (VIMS) located at the above -referenced site. Per the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Vapor Intrusion Guidance, Terracon checks the vacuum
readings from the active VIMS approximately every month and reports the results to the North
Carolina Brownfields Program on a quarterly basis. The following table summarizes vacuum
readings at the monitoring points located in the building from July 2021 to October 2022:

VIMS Monitoring Report I Revision 1.0
Fairey Finishing Plant Brownfields Project I Durham, North Carolina
November 11, 2022 1 Terracon Project No. 70197104
r Terracon
The system was activated in February 2021 and the building has been occupied since Fall
2021. Vacuum readings from February 2021 to June 2021 are summarized in the VIMS
Monthly Monitoring Report dated July 13, 2021 (Terracon, 2021). The locations of the vapor
monitoring points and vent risers are shown in Exhibit 1.
In general, the vacuum measurements appear to be stabilizing over time, although seasonal
variations were observed. Decreases in pressure may also be due to increased permeability
of the subsurface due to continued drying of the subgrade and/or potential blockages of the
VIMS roof vent. During the next pressure monitoring event, Terracon or DTCC maintenance
staff will check the VIMS roof vents for blockages. In general, vacuum measurements at each
of the vapor monitoring points exceeded a pressure differential of 4 pascals, and thus the
VIMS is considered sufficiently depressurized per the NCDEQ Vapor Intrusion Guidance
(NCDEQ, 2018). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 919-873-
2211.
Sincerely,
Terracon Consultants, Inc.
