# INTRODUCTION This report summarizes the meteorological and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) data collected at the Round Mountain Gold Corporation – Smoky Valley Co mmon Operation (RMGC-SVCO) meteorological station and HCN monitor from December 18, 2009, through March 6, 2010. The HCN monitoring station became operational on December 18, 2009, at 2:00 a.m., and the first 24-hour HCN sample was taken on December 18, 2009. The HCN monitoring equipment and sampling procedures followed RMGC-SVCO’s Site-Specific Hydrogen Cyanide (H CN) Fence Line Monitoring Plan (Site Specific Plan), approved by EPA on November 12, 2009, and the general Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) Fence Line Monitoring Plan , approved by EPA on October 9, 2009. Th e meteorological sampling procedures were performed in accordance with the U. S. EPA Quality Assurance Handbook of Air Pollution Measurement Systems Volume IV - Meteorological Measurements (EPA-600/R94-038D), March 1995. RMGC-SVCO operates a gold mining facility located at #1 Smoky Valley Mine Road, Round Mountain, Nevada. The RMGC-SVCO facility consists of open-pit mining and gold recovery processes including ore crushing, heap leaching, or e milling, gravity separation, carbon adsorption, stripping and regeneration, electrowinning, and refining. The leac h solutions used in the gold recovery processes contain cyanide. These solutions have the potential for low levels of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) formation and emission to the atmosp here. To assess the ambient concentrations of HCN emissions, RMGC-SVCO installed and operated an HCN monitor downwind of the potential HCN sources near the RMGC-SVCO operations area. 

# 1.1 HCN Monitor and Meteorol ogical Station Locations Aerial photos and shaded relief maps are provided as Figures 1 through 4. Figure 1 provides an aerial photo of the mine site, the operations boundary, the potential HCN sources, and the meteorological and HCN monitor locations. Figure 2 provides a shaded relief map of the area surrounding the RMGC-SVCO mine and shows the location of the meteorological station and the HCN monitor. The meteorological station is locate d at 493,898 meters east, 4,284,520 meters north, UTM Zone 11N, NAD83, elevation 6,361 feet. The HCN monitor is located at 485,949 meters east, 4,282,968 meters north, UTM Zone 11N, NAD83, elevation 5,797 feet. Figures 1, 3, and 4 highlight the potential source s of HCN emissions at RMGC-SVCO. These sources include: active leach pads; pregnant and barrenponds; tailings impoundment and reclaim ponds; various tanks containing cyanide solutions at the mi ll area, the Adsorption, Desorption and Refinery (ADR) area, and adjacent to the dedicated leach pa ds; and exhaust stacks fo r the EW cells and the pregnant and barren tanks at the ADR building. Closer views of the HCN sources at the mill and ADR areas are shown in Figures 3 and 4.

# 1.2 HCN Monitoring System Description The HCN monitoring system consisted of a data logger connected to a low-flow pump which is connected through sorbent tubes to an ambient air inlet. The sorbent tubes captured any HCN in the ambient air and were sent to the ALS Laboratory Gr oup in Salt Lake City, Utah, for analysis. The laboratory analysis was based on NIOSH Method 601 0. The sampling schedule followed a 1-in-3 day calendar and continued for a total sa mpling period of over two months. During a run day, all meteorologic al parameters were collected at more frequent intervals and timeaveraged into 15-minute values. Wind speed and wi nd direction were collected at the meteorological station. Ambient temperature, relative humidity , and barometric pressure as well as flow rate through the sorbent tubes were collected at the HCN monitor. Ambient temperature was also collected at the meteorological station and served as a quality check for the HCN monitor data. The parameters collected are shown in Table 1. The measurement height of the HCN monitor inlet was two meters. The height of the wind instruments was 10 meters. All other pa rameters were measured at two meters. Table 1: Sensor Locations (meters above the ground)



## Parameter Height Wind speed* 10.0 Wind direction* 10.0 Ambient temperature 2.0 Relative humidity 2.0 Barometric pressure 2.0 Sampler flow 2.0 *Wind data are from the meteorological station. 

## The hourly averaged data from the meteorological station were sent electronically to Air Sciences Inc. (Air Sciences) where they were transferred into a database. The meteorological data from the HCN monitor were recorded by the onsite digital Data Acquisition System (DAS) equipped with cellular internet for data transfer. The parameters were digitally processed by the DAS into 15-minute averages. The 15-minute averages were transmitte d to Air Sciences for quality assurance checks, population into the database, and calculation of one-hour averages.

# 1.3 Data Recovery Data recovery rates for all paramete rs are presented in Table 2. The meteorological data recovery rate was 100 percen t for all parameters at the meteorological station and 99.7 percent at the HCN monitor. The lower da ta recovery rate at the HCN monitor was due to the site being shut down for maintenance and data logger program updates. The data recovery rates at the meteorological and HCN station are above the recommended rate of 90 percent for all meteorological parameters. The data recovery rate for the flow rate to the sorbent tubes was 99.7 percent. The data recovery rate for the HCN concentration from the sorbent tubes was 100 percent. Both parameters are above the recommended recovery rate of 75 percent. Table 2: Data Recovery December 18, 2009 – March 6, 2010 (percent)

# 1.4 Quality ControlThe primary meteorological quality objectives are based on U.S. EPA guideline documents (EPA454/4-87-007, Section 6.1.1, Ambient Monitoring Guidelines for Prevention of Significant Deterioration [PSD] and EPA-454/R-99-005, February 2000, Table 5-1, Meteorological Monitoring Guidance for Regulatory Modeling Applications). The quality control objectives for the HCN monitor can be found in Appendix D.

## SECTION 2 

# METEOROLOGY AT THE METEOROLOGICAL STATION The instantaneous wind speed, wind direction, and temperature data collected at the meteorological station during the monitored period were processed into hourly averages. Appendix A presents the hourly averages for each parameter in SAROAD (Storage and Retrieval of Aerometric Data) format. A summary of this data for each parameter is shown in the following sections. 

# 2.1 Winds Hourly averaged winds measured at the site duri ng the sampling period are summarized in Table 3 as frequency distributions of winds by direction and speed. The data period contains 79 days (1,896 hours) of complete wind information. Figure 5 shows the distribution of hourly averag ed winds by direction and speed for the sampling period. The mean wind speed for the period was 2.5 m/s (5.6 mph). The winds were predominately from the east to the south-southwest. A breakdown of the wind speed profile for this period yields the following: There were 0.0 percent calm wind sp eeds (<0.447 m/s), 28.1 percent of the winds were between 0.5 m/s (1.1 mph) and 1.5 m/s (3.4 mph), 64.0 percent of the winds were between 1.5 m/s and 5 m/s (11.2 mph), and 8.0 percent of the wind speeds were greater than 5 m/s. Table 4 shows a frequency distribution of hourly av eraged winds by directio n and stability class. Stability classes A, B, and C indicate low-speed daytime winds, which are categorized as unstable or high-dispersion-potential winds with class A being the least stable. Stability classes E and F indicate the frequency of low-speed nighttime winds, whic h are categorized as stable or low-dispersionpotential winds with class E being the least stable. The D stability class is a mixture of daytime and nighttime winds, generally at higher speeds. This class is also referred to as neutral stability. The lower-speed daytime winds (classes A, B, and C) made up 35.6 percent of the total winds and were predominately from the south-southwest. The lower-speed nighttime winds (classes E and F)constituted 43.0 percent of the total winds and were predominately from the east to the southsoutheast. The higher-speed winds (class D) comp rised 21.4 percent of the total winds and were predominately from the south-southe ast to the south-southwest.

# DATA ANALYSIS Based on the data collected during the monitori ng period, an analysis of wind direction and measured HCN concentration was conducted. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, winds from 70  through 127  (approximately east-northeast th rough southeast) blow from th e potential HCN sources at the RMGC-SVCO mine towards to the HCN monitor. The percent of winds blowing within this range of directions on each sample day is shown in Table 7 and Figure 6. Table 7 and Figure 6 provide information regarding the correlation between wind direction and measured HCN concentration. The coefficient of determination (R 2 

## ) value for the wind direction and HCN concentration data set is 0.004. Table 7 also provides information regarding the correlation between wind speed and measured HCN concentration. The coefficient of determination (R 2 

## ) value for the wind speed and HCN concentration data set is 0.1.

## Figures 7 and 8 summarize the 24-hour wind dire ction (the direction from which the wind is blowing) and wind speed for the third-lowest an d the highest HCN concentration days. The thirdlowest HCN concentration was measured on January 17, 2010. 3 

## The highest HCN concentration was measured on February 25, 2010. The winds were predominately from the south to the southwest on the third-lowest concentration day and from the northwest to the north and the east-southeast to the south-southeast on the highest concentration day.

3 2/13/2010 and 2/22/2010 had the lowest estimated HCN concentra tion; however, these days were sampled on the same sorbent tube, and therefore the HCN concentrati on is estimated for the 48-hour period.

## SECTION 1 

# INTRODUCTION 1.1 Mine Description and Proposed Monitoring Round Mountain Gold Corporation – Smoky Valley Common Operation (RMGC-SVCO) operates a gold mining facility located at #1 Smoky Valley Mine Road, Round Mountain, Nevada. The RMGC-SVCO facility consists of open-pit mining and gold recovery processes including ore crushing, heap leaching, ore milling, gravity separation, carbon adsorption, stripping and regeneration, electrowinning, and refining. The leach solutions used in the gold recovery processes contain cyanide. These solutions have the potential for low levels of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) formation and emission to the atmosphere. To assess the ambient concentrations of HCN emissions, RMGC-SVCO plans to install and oper ate an HCN monitor downwind of the potential HCN sources near the RMGC-SVCO operations area. The HCN monitoring equipment and sa mpling procedures will follow the Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) Fence Line Monitoring Plan , approved by EPA on October 9, 2009 (General HCN Monitoring Plan). This plan is provided in Appe ndix A. The purposes of the site-specific plan described herein are to identify the location where the monitor will be sited and to identify any modifications to the monitoring equipment and sampling procedures described in the General HCN Monitoring Plan that are specific to RMGC-S VCO. Per EPA’s instructions, the site location takes into consideration the proximity of the HCN sources to public access areas and the prevailing wind direction. The site location also takes into consideration accessibility for the RMGC-SVCO maintenance and project technicians. The following sections describe the predominan t wind direction, the RMGC-SVCO boundary of public access, the nearest population areas to this boundary, the po tential sources of HCN emissions and their locations, and the proposed HCN monitoring site. The HCN monitoring system proposed herein is a new system. Typically, a full field test and system verification of such a prototype monitor would be scheduled in advance of deploying the monitor for data collection. This is done in orde r to identify system design problems, and refine the system configuration and operating and mainte nance procedures as appropriate. Due to the schedule that EPA has requested, only limited field testing and system verification will be possible prior to data collection. Because of this , it is possible that problems may arise with the monitoring system which will affect data collection; however, RMGC-SVCO will take all reasonable measures to avoid such problems in an effort to minimize any disruptions to the monitoring program.

## SECTION 2 

# METEOROLOGY 2.1 Prevailing Wind Direction RMGC-SVCO currently operates a meteorological station. This station is located at 493,898 meters east, 4,284,520 meters north, UTM Zone 11N, NAD83, elevation 6361 feet., near the northeast edge of the pit. Figure 2.1 summarizes the hourly wind directions (the direction from which the wind is blowing) and wind speeds for the 2008 calendar year. Figure 2.2 provides wind roses for each calendar quarter of 2008. As shown by the annual and quarterly wind roses, the prevailing winds are from the southerly and easterly directions, with some winds from the north. Figure 2.1: Calendar Year 2008 Wind Rose

## SECTION 3 

# PROPOSED HCN MONITORING SITE 3.1 Operations Boundary a nd Nearest Population Areas Aerial photos and shaded relief maps are provided as Figures 3.1 through 3.4. Figure 3.1 provides an aerial photo of the mine site, the operations boundary, and the potential HCN sources. Figure 3.2 provides a shaded relief map of the area surrounding the RMGC-SVCO mine. The nearest residents are in the subdivision of Hadley located two miles east of the mine and in the old town of Round Mountain adjacent to the northeast side of the mine. 

# 3.2 Potential Sources of HCN Figures 3.1, 3.3, and 3.4 highlight the potential sources of HCN emissions at RMGC-SVCO. These sources include:

 active leach pads;

 pregnant and barren ponds;

 tailings impoundment and reclaim ponds;

 various tanks containing cyanide solutions atthe mill area, Adsorption, Desorption and Refinery (ADR) area, and adjacent to the dedicated leach pads; and

 exhaust stacks for the EW cells and the pregna nt and barren tanks at the ADR building. Closer views of the HCN sources at the mill and ADR areas are shown in Figures 3.3 and 3.4. 

# 3.2.1 Leach Pads RMGC-SVCO operates several leach pads (the we st dedicated pad, the reusable pad, and the south dedicated pad). Cyanide leach solution is applied to portions of these pads via drip emitters. Potential HCN emissions come from the cyanide solution applied to the ore on the pads, the pregnant ponds used to collect solution from the pads, and the barren ponds used to supply solution to the pads. Carbon-in-Column (CIC) tanks used to adsorb gold from the pregnant solution are also potential HCN sources. The CIC tanks are located within buildings at the dedicated plant and ADR area, which are vented to the atmosphere via normal building ventilation. There is also a cyanide solution ma nagement tank at the dedicated plant. These pads, ponds, and tanks are shown in Figure 3.1.

## 5 

# 3.2.2 Tailings Impoundment Cyanide solution used in the mill to extract gold in the Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) tanks is sent to a cyanide destruct tank and then discharged to the tailings impoundment. Underflow from the tailings impoundment is collected in the reclaim ponds. The residual cyanide in the tails solution has the potential to produce HCN air emissions. The tailings impoundment and reclaim ponds are shown in Figure 3.1. The cyanide destruct tank is shown in Figure 3.4. 

# 3.2.3 Mill and ADR Areas The ADR and mill areas, shown in Figures 3.3 and 3.4, contain stack and tank sources of potential HCN emissions. At the ADR building, there is one stack associated with the EW cells and one stack associate with the pregnant and barren tanks. On the west side of this building are three cyanide solution management tanks. The ADR bu ilding also houses CIC ta nks, which are vented to the atmosphere via normal building ventilation. At the mill, in addition to the cyanide destruct and thickener tanks described above, there are six CIL tanks and three cyanide leach solution tanks, which are open to the atmosphere at the top. 

# 3.3 Proposed HCN Monitor Location RMGC-SVCO proposes to place the HCN monitor at a property owned by RMGC-SVCO within the subdivision of Hadley. As shown in Figure 3.1, the proposed locati on is approximately two miles west of the mine. Hadley is the principle community near the mine site and the monitoring data collected here will inform EPA of the HCN ex posure to the Hadley residents. This location is in a favorable position to detect emissions from the potential HCN sources due to the prevailing winds from the easterly directions. The proposed monitor location has line power an d is easily accessible . The proposed site coordinates are 485,949 meters east, 4,282,968 me ters north, UTM Zone 11 N, NAD83, elevation, 5,797 feet.

## 10 

## SECTION 4 

# PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO THE GENERAL HCN MONITORING PLAN RMGC-SVCO does not propose any modifications to the General HCN Monitoring Plan with regards to the HCN sampling equipment. RM GC-SVCO does, however, propose to use its existing meteorological station to collect the meteorological parameters (with the exception of relative humidity and barometric pressure) outlin ed in the General HCN Monitoring Plan in lieu of installing the meteorological measurement equipment described in the general plan. The existing station is located at the mine site an d, therefore, it will provide representative data for the overall mine and the monitor site. See Figu re 3.1. The sensors for wind direction, wind speed, and ambient temperature at the existing meteorological station meet the data quality objectives and criteria described in Section 2.1 of the General HCN Monitoring Plan. Because the existing station is not equipped to measure re lative humidity and barometric pressure, these sensors will be installed at the HCN monitor si te per the General HCN Monitoring Plan. The existing station is also audited on a quarterly basis. As discussed in Section 3.3, line power is available at the proposed HCN monitor location. Therefore, the solar power system described in the General HCN Monitoring Plan will not be needed.

# PROJECT MANAGEMENT ELEMENTS 1.1 Sampling Purpose This sampling plan is being developed to determine the levels of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in ambient air at the fence line of a mine site. This plan describes the general HCN sampling equipment, collection methods, and data recording procedures. Separate site-specific plans will be submitted for individual mine sites where HCN monitoring will take place. The site-specific plans will be in accordance with this general plan unless otherwise noted, in which case the specific plan will take precedence. There is currently no EPA method for measuring trace levels of HCN in ambient air. The method described in this monitoring plan was developed using some elements of both EPA and NIOSH sampling and analytical guidelines. Meteorological parameters will be collected. In addition, an optional video surveillance systemmay be deployed to determine the operability of the sampler as well as identify any unusual conditions at the sampler. The design of the system uses elements of U.S. EPA Quality Assurance Handbook of Air Pollution Measurement Systems Volume II as well as the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, Method 6010. All meteorological parameters will be collected consistent with U.S. EPA Quality Assurance Handbook of Air Pollution Measurement System s Volume IV - Meteorological Measurements (EPA600/R94-038D), March 1995, and as provided in this plan. 

# 1.2 System Description The system will consist of a data logger connected to a low-flow pump which is connected through sorbent tubes to an ambient air inlet. The sorbent tubes will capture any HCN in the ambient air and will be sent to a certified lab for analysis. The sampling schedule will follow a 1- in-3 day calendar for a period of two months. During a run day, all parameters will be collected every two seconds and time-averaged into 15-minute values. The parameters collected are shown in Table 1. Wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure are collected as well as flow rate through the sorbent tubes. The measurement height of the inlet is two meters. The height of the wind instruments will be 3.5 meters. All other parameters are measured at 2 meters.Hcn Sampling Plan_V7.Docx

# DATA GENERATION AND ACQUISITION 5.1 Sampling Process Design and Methods Requirements 5.1.1 Purpose The monitoring requirements subject to EPA an d federal guidelines are strictly defined for meteorology but not for HCN. The equipment se lection and operation of the station is in accordance with available guidelines. In cases where an existing meteorological station at the mine meets all applicable guidelines, this station may be used in lieu of the meteorological equipment specified herein. The site-specific pl an submitted by each mine will address the proposed location of the meteorological monito ring station that will be used to provide meteorological data for the ambient fence line monitoring program. 

# 5.1.2 Sampling Network DesignThe monitoring system will consist of the following parts, or equivalent, as specified in the sitespecific plan. Each part will have a serial number and will be calibrated upon installation. Table 4: System Components

# 5.1.3 Equipment Description The following section describes the air quality and meteorological instrumentation that will be used for the HCN monitoring program. The inst rumentation is selected consistent with the requirements of:

• U.S. EPA Quality Assurance Handbook of Air Pollution Measurement Systems Volume II, September 1997.

• NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, Method 6010, August 1994 .

• U.S. EPA Quality Assurance Handbook of Air Pollution Measurement Systems Volume IV - Meteorological Measurements (EPA-454/B-08-002), March 2008. The data collection systems are designed to ex ceed the recommended quarterly data recovery rate of 90 percent for all meteorological parameters and 75 percent for HCN. 

# 5.1.4 Data Logger A Campbell Scientific, Inc. Model CR3000 data logger is used as the digital acquisition system for the stations. The data logger records the data every two seconds, computes 15-minute averages of each of the meteorological parameters, and stores the averages in its internal memory. The CR3000 has 4 mB of Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) for the operating system and user programs. It also has 512K of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) used for storing approximately three months of data and running the program. It has a 16-bit micro-controller with 32-bit internal CPU ar chitecture. The resolution and accuracy of the analog inputs are 6.67 microvolts and ± 0.04%, respectively. The CR3000 is equipped with a solidstate storage module. The 15-minute averages are written to the CR3000's internal memory and to the external storage module. The storage module can store nearly six mo nths of data and will provide a backup of the data and the CR3000 program in the unlikely event of a power loss. The data logger is designed to operate in temperatures from –25 ° C to 50 ° C. 

# 5.1.5 Wind Speed Wind speed is continuously measured using an R.M. Young Model 05305 sensor interfaced directly to the data logger. The wind speed sens or of the Model 05305 is a helicoid-shaped, fourblade propeller. Rotation of th e propeller produces an AC sine wave; the frequency is directly proportional to the wind speed. The AC signal is induced in a transducer coil by a six-pole magnet mounted on the propeller shaft. The coil is located on the non-rotating central portion of the main mounting assembly, eliminating the need for slip rings and brushes. Power for the sensor is supplied by the data logger. The Model 05305 has a range of 0.4 - 45 m/s, a starting threshold of 0.4 m/s, an accuracy of 0.2 m/s, and a distance constant of 2.1 meters.Hcn Sampling Plan_V7.Docx 

## 8 

# 5.1.6 Wind Direction Wind direction is also continuously measured using an R.M. Young Model 05305 sensor interfaced directly to the data logger. The Model 05305 sensor provides a 1 ° to 360 ° format through the use of a precision potentiometer powered by the data logger. The potentiometer outputs a varying voltage proportional to the wind direction in degrees. The sensor is constructed from lightweight thermoplastic materials to give it a starting threshold of less than 0.5 m/s. The sensor has an accuracy of ±3 ° , a damping ratio of 0.45, and a delay distance of less than 2 meters. 

# 5.1.7 Temperature Sensor and Radiation Shield The temperature measurements are continuously monitored using a Campbell Scientific HMP45C Platinum Resistance Temperature (PRT) detector. Temperature is measured by the data logger as a varying resistance across a platin um resistor that is proportional to the ambient temperature. The range of the sensor is –40°C to +60°C. The radiation shield for the temperature sensor prevents interference from solar radiatio n. The radiation error is less than 0.1°F. 

# 5.1.8 Relative Humidity Relative humidity is continuously measured using a Campbell Scientific Model HMP45C sensor. The HMP45C contains a Vaisala HUMICAP TM 

## 180 capacitive relative humidity sensor. The HMP45C sensor is housed inside a non-aspirated shield. Relative humidity is measured by the data logger as an output voltage. The range of the sensor is from 0.8 to 100% (non-condensing) with an accuracy of ±2% when the humidity is less than 90%, and ±3% when the humidity is greater than 90%. The response time for th e relative humidity sensor is 15 seconds. 

# 5.1.9 Barometric Pressure Barometric pressure is measured every 15 minute s using a Vaisala PT101B sensor. The sensor is mounted inside the data logger enclosure. Barome tric pressure is measured by the data logger using Vaisala’s Barocap silicon capacitive pressu re sensor, which outputs a linear 0 to 2.5 VDC signal. The operating range of the sensor is –40 ° C to 60 ° C. The CS105 has a warm-up time of one second, an uncertainty of 0.15 millibar, and a linearity of 0.45 millibar. 

# 5.1.10 HCN Sampling System This instrument is designed to measure HCN at trace levels in ambient air. There is currently no EPA certified method for this determination. Th e design combines elements of EPA air quality measuring guidelines along with NIOSH sampling protocols. The sampler consists of soda lime sorbent tubes (SKC part number 226-28) connected to a glass inlet. On the other side of the sorbent tubes is a low flow pump controlled by a data logger via a feedback loop with a pressure transducer. The flow is regulated by a critical orifice, and ambient meteorological parameters are collected to determine the exact volume of gas pass ed through the sorbent tubes. Data collection is in twenty-four hour increments. Upon complete exposure of a sorbent tube, it is sealed andHcn Sampling Plan_V7.Docx 

## 9 

## shipped to a certified laboratory for analysis in accordance with NIOSH Method 6010. The complete NIOSH Method 6010 is included as Appendix A. 

# 5.1.10.1 Operating Principle As discussed above, the HCN sampling system consis ts of an open-air inlet, sorbent tubes, and a pump which pulls air through the sorbent tubes at a rate of 1 liter per minute. The system is designed to hold two or more sorbent tubes, where each tube will collect a 24-hour sample. Based on the 1-in-3 day schedule, a site visit to change out the tubes will be required every 5-7 days (or longer if more than two tubes are design ed into the system). The total volume of air pulled through each sorbent tube is 1,440 liters. This exceeds the recommended total volume of NIOSH Method 6010 but is within the capture volu me of the sorbent tube and necessary to reach the required limits of detection. A data logger turns the pump on and off and cont rols the solenoid valve according to the 1-in-3 day schedule. The solenoid valve opens and closes to allow air to pass through a sorbent tube only during a run day. The data logger al so records ambient barometric pressure and temperature to calculate the volume of air passed through the sorbent tube during the run day. Flow diagrams of the HCN sampling system, show ing the system in static mode, warm-up mode, and sampling mode, are provided in Figures 1 through 3.

## On a run day, at 15 minutes before the sampling commences, the data logger turns the pump on and switches the solenoid valve to allow air to flow around the sorbent tubes and through the pump. This gives the pump time to warm up and ensures that the air in the inlet is homogenous when the sampling begins. To initiate sampling, the data logger switches the solenoid valve to allow air to flow through the first sorbent tube an d the sampling begins. After 24 hours, the data logger closes the solenoid valve, stopping flow to the sorbent tube, and turns the pump off. On the next run day, after the warm-up period, to initiate sampling, the data logger switches the solenoid valve to allow air flow through the second sorbent tube. After 24 hours, the data logger closes the solenoid valve, stopping flow to the second sorbent tube. The tubes are replaced before the next run day and the sampling process repeats. After the 24-hour sampling is complete, each sorbent tube is sealed and shipped to a certified laboratory where the HCN is extracted and anal yzed using spectroscopy. One in every five sorbent tubes will be a field bl ank. The blank tubes will follow the same path as the sampled tubes, with the exception of being inserted into the sampling system. INLET

## The detection limit for this HCN sampling method is reported to be approximately 0.2 ppb 1 

## , which is an order of magnitude less than the EPA reference concentration of 2.8 ppb. 

# 5.1.11 Power and Data Transfer Solar power is used to operate the equipment. The data logger is powered separately via a smaller solar cell to prevent total data and commu nications loss during periods of power loss. A cellular Internet modem is installed providing real-time satellite communications. 

# 5.1.12 Meteorological Towers A 10-foot Rohn 25G meteorological tower will be installed for the purpose of mounting the sensors. The tower will be grounded, and lightning protection will be installed on all signal lines. 

# 5.2 Rationale for Design The equipment has been selected based on its conformity to current EPA standards for meteorology and current NIOSH standards for HCN monitoring. 

# 5.3 Scheduled Measurement Activities The sampler pump will be activated on 1-in-3 da y schedule. During this period all parameters, with the exception of HCN concentration, will be collected every two seconds. This is summarized in Table 5 and Table 6. Table 5: Sampling Frequency

# 5.4 Measurement Syst em Failure Response The primary mechanism for ensuring normal sy stem operation will be comprised of on-site checks conducted after the tubes have been sample d and before the next run day. The site check schedule will be every 5-7 days (or longer if more than two tubes are designed into the system). The Maintenance Technician is responsible for on-site checks and completion of Site Check Forms. Any issues that are detected during the site checks will be resolved as soon as possible.

# SAMPLING METHOD REQUIREMENTS 6.1 Sample Handling and Custody Requirements A new sorbent tube will be inserted into the sampler system prior to midnight of a run day. After completion of the run, the sorbent tube will be removed and prepared for shipment to a certified lab. All sorbent tubes used for sampling will be tracked in a Chain of Custody Form. 

# 6.2 Analytical Methods Requi rements and Breakthrough Check The sample will be digested at the lab and a coloring agent will be added to make the cyanide spectroscopically active. UV/Vis spectroscopy will be employed to determine the cyanide concentration. The quantity of cyanide present will be combined with the known flow of the sample exposure to generate a 24-hour HCN sample concentration. The analysis will be conducted in accordance with NIOSH Me thod 6010 (included as Appendix A). As part of the HCN analysis, each tube will be checked for breakthrough. The sorbent tubes consist of a front half and back half. Each half will be analyzed separately to determine the mass of cyanide. Any sample where the mass of cyanid e in the back half is greater than one-tenth of the mass of cyanide in the front half will be flagged indicating that breakthrough has occurred. 

# 6.3 Quality Control Requirements Quality control for the program will be affected through the use of site checks, post-installation calibration, and close out audits. Information provided by each of these methods is documented in the Table 7 below.Hcn Sampling Plan_V7.Docx

### ) for a 3-L air sample. This method is applicable to STEL measurements. Particulate cyanides are trapped by the initial glass fiber membrane disk. This method is more sensitive a nd subject to fewer interferences than NIOSH Method 7904, which uses ion specific electrode analysis. The method was used t o determine HCN in firefighting environments [2]. INTERFERENCES: A high concentration of hydrogen sulfide gives a negative interference. OTHER METHODS: This is based on the method of Lambert, et al. [3]. NIOSH Method 7904 uses an ion specific electrode for measurement. The method has been adapted for use with a Technicon Autoanalyzer [4].

SAMPLE PREPARATION: 5. Score each sampler with a file. Breaksampler at score line. 6. Transfer front and back sorbent sections to separate vials. Discard glass wool plugs separating and retaining sorbent sections. NOTE: An estimate of particulate cyanide may be obtained by analyzing the initial glass fiber filter disk as follows; however, no evaluation data are available for particulate cyanides determined in this manner. (i) Transfer the glass wool plug at the tube inlet and the glass fiber filter disk immediately behind it to a third vial. (ii) Add 10.0 mL 0.1 N NaOH to each vial. (iii) Proceed with step 8. 7. Add 10.0 mL deionized-distilled water to each vial containing a sorbent section. Cap each vial. 8. Allow to stand 60 minutes, with occasional agitation. Transferto a 10-mL plastic syringe fitted with an in-line 0.45-μm filter. Collect the filtrate in a clean vial. CALIBRATION AND QUALITY CONTROL: 9.

## into a 25-mL volumetric flask. Alternately, to cover an unknown sample concentration range, pipet 0.5-, 1.00-, and 3.00-mL aliquots into separate 25-mL vol. flasks for each field sample. Largeror smaller aliquots may be taken, based on prior knowledge of expected analyte level. 14. Pipet 0.5 mL 0.1 N NaOH into a 25-mL volumetric flask for reagent blank. 15. Add one drop phenolphthalein solution to each standard or sample. NOTE: Add a little deionized-distilled water to increase volume for easier mixing. All solutions should be alkaline (pink) at this point. 16. Starting with the reagent blank, add dropwise 0.15 N HCl, with mixing, until pink color just disappears. CAUTION: HCN may be produced. Work in hood. Immediately add 1.0 mL N-chlorosuccinimide/succinimide oxidizing reagent. Mix and let stand.

## HYDROGEN CYANIDE: METHOD 6010, Issue 2, dated 15 August 1994 - Page 4 of 5 NOTE 1: To avoid possible loss of HCN, add the oxidizing agent before proceeding to the

next sample. NOTE 2: Do not prepare more samples than can be analyzed within the 30-minute maximum

time for color development. 17. After at least 5 min. standing (but not longer than 15 min), starting with the reagent blank, add 1.0-mL barbituric acid-pyridine coupling reagent. Mix. 18.

Read absorbance at 580 nm in a 1-cm light path cuvette on a spectrophotometer. If sample absorbance is outside the range of the calibration standards, take an aliquot, re-analyze (steps 12 through 19), and apply the appropriate aliquot factor in calculations. CALCULATIONS: 20. Calculate the mass, μg, of CN - 

## in aliquot analyzed. Apply the appropriate aliquot factor to calculate the mass, μg, of CN - 

## in the original 10-mL solution. 21. Determine the mass, μg CN - 

## (corrected for DE), found in the sample front (W f 

## ) and back (W b 

## ) sorbent sections and in the average media blank front (B f 

## ) and back (B b 

## ) sorbent sections. If W b 

## > W f 

## /10, report breakthrough and possible sample loss. 22. Calculate concentration, C, of HCN in the air volume sampled, V(L).

where 1.039 = conversion factor, CN - 

## to HCN EVALUATION OF METHOD: The method was evaluated by sampling the test atmospheres of HCN generated from a compressed mixture of HCN in nitrogen [1]. The range of HCN concentration was equivalent to 2 to 15 mg/m 3 

## for a 3-L air sample. Twenty-two samples collected at 0.2 L/min for 15 minutes indicated overall precision S ˆ rT 

## of 0.076 with nearly 100% recovery. Breakthrough occurred after 40 minutes of sampling at the flow rate of 0.2 L/min at an HCN concentration of 148 mg/m 3 

## . Sample tubes spiked with solutions of KCN and analyzed after storage, indicated that the samples of cyanide ions were stable on the tube for at least 2 weeks. Analysis of 22 tubes which were spiked with KCN standard solutions in the range 10 to 50 μg indicated a recovery of nearly 100% with a pooled precision of 0.041. Desorption efficiency may be poor below 10 μg CN -
