Matt Winefield Interview with California State Senator Scott Wiener

California Vapor Intrusion Blog

This California Vapor Intrusion (VI) Blog provides updates on CalEPA’s rule development process associated with reducing attenuation factors (AFs) for volatile organic compounds. Winefield & Associates contends that the proposed new AF standard of 0.03 is neither scientifically sound nor necessary. As such, the blog will provide scientific and regulatory data with the goal of developing sane VI criteria that remain protective of human health while not thwarting California development, especially as California experiences a severe housing shortage.

On December 14, 2020, Matt Winefield of Winefield & Associates, Inc. had the honor of moderating a virtual affordable housing conference with State Senator Scott Wiener. Senator Wiener serves as the Chair of the CA Senate Housing Committee and has authored 42 bills that were signed into law. We examined the State’s efforts to reduce homelessness, address exploding housing costs, and thwart NIMBY-ism with respect to multi-family development. Included in this session was a discussion of how the CalEPA Draft Vapor Intrusion Guidance (DVIG) will curtail affordable housing development on former brownfield sites. Here is a 4-minute video of that DVIG portion of the session:

California brownfield redevelopment is dying a slow and painful death due to actions of calepa, dtsc, and the State water resource control board. Thank you for taking the time to write a great post!

The California department of toxic substances control gathered empirical data from sites contaminated with chlorinated volatile organic compounds and generated a vapor intrusion database. Thank you, amazing post!

The svig is an underground regulation that uses outdated science, triggering many consequences detrimental to state brownfield, housing, and climate goals. Thank you for taking the time to write a great post!
