American Petroleum Institute's groundwater technical bulletin home page. 
This includes Paul Johnson's article on a sensitivity study of the J&E vapor model (Bulletin #17).

Select "API Soil and Groundwater Research Bulletins
Other bulletins dealing with vapor transport are #16 and #15.  Technical bulletin #15 describes 4 basic soil gas concentration profiles in the vadosezone and (may) describe how best to fit a model to them.  This was the beginning of the work that led to the O2-limited vapor model.The "Dominant Layer Model" as used in RISC is presented in API Publication Number 4674 which costs $55.
