Dr. Schuver led the development of a technical document on ‘Radon Lessons’ based on the scientific observations from decades of Radon intrusion studies. He authored the national RCRA Corrective Action Environmental Indicator guidance for both Groundwater Migration and for Human Exposures. He also led the development of the 2001 Supplemental Guidance for Vapor Intrusion for RCRA EI Determinations which raised the awareness of VI exposures nationally and led to the development of the 2002 OSWER (RCRA & Superfund) draft VI guidance.
