2012 Annual Network Plan 3 State of Hawaii
Introduction

The State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) plans, operates and maintains the

statewide ambient air quality monitoring network. Monitoring data is used for a variety

of reasons including determining compliance with National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS), timely reporting of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) Air Quality Index (AQI), tracking and characterizing air quality trends, evaluating

emission control strategies, and supporting health studies.

The DOH manages all of the State and Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS), Special

Purpose Monitoring Stations (SPMS), and the National Core Monitoring Station

(NCore). Additionally, Hawaii has two Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual

Environments stations (IMPROVE) located at Haleakala National Park on Maui and

Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawaii. The IMPROVE stations are operated

and maintained by the National Park Service through their federal land management

agency.

This annual review evaluates the state’s existing ambient air monitoring network to

determine adequacy in meeting monitoring objectives, optimizes the network by closing,

moving or adding stations, and ensures that air quality issues important to the state are

being addressed. The review ensures that the network is providing adequate, quality

assured and useful data to meet the needs of stakeholders. This plan encompasses

the 18-month period from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, however,

unplanned modifications may occur due to funding reductions, unanticipated site

changes, or changes in EPA monitoring requirements. This plan is being submitted to

the EPA Region IX according to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Part

58, Section 58.10.

Notification of the plan availability for public inspection was provided through public

notices published on May 21, 2012 in the daily newspapers of all counties. The plan

was available for review at all county District Health offices as well as on the Clean Air

Branch website (http://hawaii.qov/health/environmental/air/cab/index.html) for 30 days

from May 21, 2012 to June 21, 2012. Documentation of public notification is provided in

Appendix A and comments to the plan are provided in Appendix B.

2012 Annual Network Plan 4 State of Hawaii
1.0 Network Purpose and Design

1.1 Overview

EPA established NAAQS for the following criteria pollutants: carbon dioxide (CC), lead

(Pb), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), ozone (03), sulfur dioxide (SO 2), particulate matter 10

microns or less in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), and particulate matter 2.5 microns or

less in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5). Additionally, there is a state standard for

hydrogen sulfide (H2S)that was established primarily to monitor the ambient air effects

of geothermal energy production activities on the island of Hawaii. In 2011 the state

established the National Core multi-pollutant monitoring station (NCore) as required by

40 CFR 58. The NCore station monitors for PM25,speciated PM25,PM1025 ,03, SO2,

CO, Pb, nitrogen oxides (N0/N0 2/N0) and the meteorological parameters wind speed,

wind direction, ambient temperature and relative humidity. Hawaii’s air quality

surveillance network consists of compliance stations monitoring for criteria pollutants as

well as the NCore station and several special purpose monitoring stations.

The annual review ensures that the state meets monitoring and siting requirements, the

three basic monitoring objectives, addresses the six site types in 40 CFR 58 Appendix

D, provides information for non-regulatory data goals and the requirements of 40 CFR

58 appendices A, C, D, and E as follows:

• Appendix A. Quality Assurance Requirements for SLAMS, SPMSs and PSD

Air Monitoring;

• Appendix C. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology

• Appendix D: Network Design Criteria for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

• Appendix E: Probe and Monitoring Path Siting Criteria forAmbient Air Quality

Monitoring

1.1.1 SLAMS

SLAMS are established primarily to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS and to

meet minimum monitoring requirements as required in 40 CFR 58 Appendix D. All

SLAMS must meet quality assurance, methodology, and siting requirements of 40

CFR 58 Appendix A, C and E respectively. All data is submitted to EPA’s Air Quality

System (AQS) within 90 days at the end of each calendar quarter, as required in 40

CFR 58.16.

EPA mandated that each state establish a minimum of one National Core multipollutant monitoring station to support tracking of long-term trends of criteria and

non-criteria pollutants, model evaluation, long-term health and ecosystem

assessments, and other scientific and technological studies. Hawaii’s NCore station

became fully operational on January 1, 2011. The SLAMS network excludes SPMS

but includes NCore and other stations that have not been specifically designated as

SPMS.

1.1.2 SPMS

SPMS are operated for specific areas of interest to the state and do not count in

meeting minimum monitoring requirements. Hawaii’s SPM network is established

2012 Annual Network Plan 5 State of Hawaii
primarily to monitor air quality impacts of emissions from the ongoing Kilauea

volcano eruption; hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions from geothermal energy

production; and impacts from cruise ships on the island of Kauai. The DOH utilizes

FRM or FEM analyzers for all criteria SPMS, meets the quality assurance

requirements of 40 CFR 58 Appendix A, and submits criteria pollutant data to AQS.

All data from SPMS which have operated for more than 24 months is eligible for

comparison to relevant NAAQS.

1.2 Network Design and Review Process

The review determines if network modifications are needed to reduce or eliminate

redundancy and low value monitoring; meet new NAAQS monitoring requirements or

programs; determine if sufficient data is being collected using the best technology and

schedule that resources allow; and if corrective actions to ensure compliance with all

siting and quality assurance requirements are needed.

Modification decisions are made using a variety of tools including but not limited to: data

trend analyses; performance and technical systems audits; regular site inspections; cost

and value analyses; assessment of unfavorable site changes such as loss of lease or

construction that adversely affect data collection; and, the need to address special

studies or new regulatory as well as non-regulatory monitoring objectives.

1.2.1 Monitoring Objectives and Site Types

Ambient air monitoring networks must be designed to meet three basic objectives as

stated in 40 CFR 58 Appendix D:

1) Provide air pollution data to the general public in a timely manner;

2) Support compliance with NAAQS and emissions strategy development; and

3) Support air pollution research studies.

The state’s ambient air monitoring network achieves all three objectives as follows:

1) Air pollution data from all SLAMS and SPMS are exhibited near real-time on

the DOH public web-site, additionally continuous PM25 and 03 data is

provided to EPA’s AIRNow website for use in calculating the AQI;

2) Data from SLAMS are used to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS and

in development and tracking of emissions control strategies. Similarly, data

from the state’s NCore station will be used to track long-term trends of criteria

and non-criteria pollutants as well as support emissions control strategies;

3) All SLAMS, SPMS, and NCore monitoring provide valuable information in

support of air pollution, health, and other scientific studies.

In order for the network to support the three basic objectives outlined above, it must

be designed with a variety of monitoring site types. The six general site types are:

1) Determine the highest pollutant concentrations expected in the network;

2) Measure typical concentrations in areas of high population density;

3) Determine the impact of significant sources or source categories on air

quality;

4) Determine general background concentrations;

5) Determine the extent of regional pollutant transport between populated areas;

2012 Annual Network Plan 6 State of Hawaii
6) Measure pollution impacts on visibility, vegetation, crops, animals and

buildings.

The site type for each station in the network is included in its detailed description in

Section 3.0 of this document.

1.2.2 PM2.5Network Changes

According to 40 CFR 58.10 (c), this network plan must document how the state will

provide for a review of changes to a PM2.5monitoring network that impact the

location of a violating PM2.5monitor or the creation or change to a community

monitoring zone, including a description of the proposed use of spatial averaging for

purposes of making comparisons to the annual PM2.5 NAAQS as set forth in Part 50

Appendix N. The agency must also document the process for obtaining public

comment and include any comments received through the public notification process

within the submitted plan.

The state does not have, nor is intending to create any community monitoring zones

and does not utilize spatial averaging for comparison to the PM2.5 NAAQS. The

state has in place a public notification procedure which includes posting notice in the

newspapers of all counties and on the agency web site allowing for public viewing

and comments of the changes that are in the annual network plan document.

1.3 Organizational Structure and Responsibilities

The DOH Air Surveillance and Analysis Section (ASAS) serves as the Primary Quality

Assurance Organization (PQAO), operating and maihtaining the stations and providing

quality assured data to AQS. The ASAS also provides laboratory support for chemical

and mass analyses of special or research air toxics monitoring and PM2.5co-located

filter samples.

The DOH Clean Air Branch (CAB) is the state agency responsible for planning,

management, and regulatory activities associated with the state’s air program. As an

organizationally separate entity, the CAB conducts independent audits of the monitoring

network and provides oversight of the PQAO.

2012 Annual Network Plan 7 State of Hawaii
2.0 Network Evaluation

There are minimum monitoring requirements for PM10,PM25,03, SO2,and Pb for each

MSA in the state as described in 40 CFR 58 Appendix D. The U.S. Census Bureau has

designated Honolulu as the only MSA in the state with a 2010 census population of

953,207. There are five counties in the state: Kauai (islands of Niihau and Kauai); City

& County of Honolulu (island of Oahu); Maui (islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai,

Kahoolawe), Kalawao (Kalau papa Settlement on Molokai), and Hawaii (island of

Hawaii).

2.1 PM10 Network

The minimum number of required PM10 monitoring stations for the MSA is dependent

upon population and concentration measurements. High concentration areas are those

for which the ambient PM10 data show concentrations exceeding the PM10 NAAQS by

20 percent or more. Medium concentration areas are those for which ambient PM10

data show concentrations exceeding 80 percent of the NAAQS. Low concentration

areas are those for which ambient PM10 data show concentrations less than 80 percent

of the NAAQS.

PM10 data for 2009 to 2011 showed the MSA to be a low concentration area (Table 2-1)

and therefore is required to have one to two PM10 monitors (Table 2-2). The data

provides a conservative measurement since it includes values due to the New Year’s

fireworks exceptional events. The state meets the minimum PM10 monitoring

requirements with three PM10 stations in the MSA.

2.2 PM2.5Network

The state must operate a minimum number of required PM25 monitors based on

population in the MSA and the most recent 3-year design value for PM25.The design

value for the annual PM2.5standard is the most current 3-year average annual mean for

each site. The design value for the 24-hour PM2.5standard is the most current 3-year

average of annual 98th percentile 24-hour values recorded at each monitoring site.

Table 2-3 shows the annual and daily design values for complete data years 2009 to

2011.

The most recent 3-year design values were less than 85% of any PM2.5 NAAQS. Table

2-4 shows that the state operates more than the minimum monitoring requirements for

PM25 in the MSA. In addition to the four PM25 sites in the Honolulu MSA, the state

operates one SLAM station on the island of Maui, five SPMS on the island of Hawaii for

volcanic emissions, and one SPM station on the island of Kauai to monitor cruise ship

emissions. All primary PM2.5monitors are continuous FEM. Figure 2-2 shows the map

locations of all the PM2.5stations in the state, including SPMS.

Appendix A to 40 CFR 58 requires that 15 percent of each PM2.5monitoring method be

collocated. The state currently operates five SLAMS and six SPMS with plans to add

an additional SPMS site on the island of Hawaii. With a total of 12 stations, two

collocated monitors are required. One FRM collocated monitor is currently operating at

the Kapolei station. The state plans to collocate a PM2.5 FEM at the Kona station by the

end of 2012. Table 2-5 summarizes the PM2.5collocated network.

2.3 03 Network

The state must operate a minimum number of 03 monitors depending upon MSA

population and typical peak concentrations. NCore sites are intended to complement

03 data collection but can be used to meet the minimum monitoring requirements.

The 03 monitoring season for the state of Hawaii is 12-months from January to

December. The 03 design value is the 3-year average of the fourth-highest daily

maximum 8-hour concentrations measured at each monitor.

The most recent design value concentration showed less than 85% of the 03 NAAQS

(Table 2-6) and therefore, as shown in Table 2-7, the state meets the minimum 03

network monitoring requirements.

2.4 Pb Network

With a 2010 census population of 953, 207 in the Honolulu MSA, the state is required to

conduct non-source-oriented Pb monitoring at the Kapolei NCore site (Table 2-8). This

NCore site began collecting Pb data on January 1, 2012. Figure 2-4 shows the location

of the Pb monitoring site at the Kapolei NCore station.

Appendix D to Part 58 also requires source-oriented Pb monitoring for sources emitting

0.50 or more tons per year (TPY) according to the most recent emissions inventory.

There are no sources in the state emitting 0.5 or more TPY of Pb.

EPA has established the Population Weighted Emissions Index (PWEI) to determine

required SO2 monitoring. The PWEI is calculated by multiplying the population of each

CBSA with the total amount of SO2in TPY emitted within the CBSA area and dividing

the result by one million. According to this calculation, Hawaii is required to operate one

SO2in the Honolulu area (Table 2-10). The state currently operates two SLAMS SO2

monitors in the Honolulu MSA, and one at the NCore station in Kapolei and therefore

meets the minimum number of required SO2stations. Figure 2-7 shows the locations of

the SLAMS and SPMS SO2sites.

SO2continues to be one of the pollutants of concern in communities on the island of

Hawaii with the ongoing eruption of the Kilauea volcano. There are six stations

monitoring for volcanic emissions with plans to add one more station on the northwest

side of the island. Three of the six SO2 monitoring stations are SPMS that use FEM and

follow all the requirements of 40 CFR 58 Appendices A, D, and E, have been operating

for more than 24 months and therefore are subject to NAAQS comparison. One of the

six stations was established primarily to monitor H2Semissions from geothermal energy

production, the probe siting does not meet Appendix E and therefore is a non-regulatory

SO2 monitoring site.

The state also began monitoring for cruise ship emissions on the island of Kauai. This

is a SPM station which includes monitoring for SO2.

According to 40 CFR 58 Appendix D, if the PWEI for a CBSA is 5,000 but < 100,000, a minimum of

one SO2 monitor is required.

2.8 NCore

The Kapolei NCore station is located in the rapidly-growing residential, commercial, and

industrial community on the southwest side of Oahu. Kapolei is considered to be the

“second city” next to Honolulu with county, state and federal agencies also establishing

offices in the area. The NCore parameters are: N0/N0, SO2,CO, 03, PM1025 ,PM25

speciation, Pb and the meteorological parameters wind speed, wind direction,

temperature and relative humidity.

The NCore station became fully operational in January 1, 2011

2.9 H2S Network

The state has a one-hour H2Sstandard of 25 ppb established primarily to determine the

effects of geothermal energy exploration and production on the island of Hawaii. Puna

Geothermal Ventures (PGV) is a 41 MW geothermal power plant located in the lower

east rift zone of the Kilauea volcano.

Although PGV is required by their non-covered source permit to maintain three air

monitoring stations for H2S, the state established a monitoring station in the downwind

community of Leilani Estates to monitor ambient effects of geothermal exploration and

operations. The station monitors for H2Sas well as SO2.

2.10 Network Summary

2.11 Site Closures

There are no planned or anticipated station closures in the next 18 months.

2.12 Site Additions

This section describes planned station or monitor additions in the next 18 months.

Waikoloa (island of Hawaii) -SPM

Approximate location: 19.977289° Lat. /-155.797595° Long.

Parameters: SO2,PM25

This planned new station will be in Waikoloa on the northwestern side of the island.

The selected site is approximately 3 kilometers northeast of the residential and

commercial community of Waikoloa Village. Although there are several stations

monitoring volcanic emissions during prevailing wind conditions, there are no

stations to monitor the impact on the northern side of the island when the winds shift

from northeasterly trade-winds to the south/southeasterly direction. Wind direction

shifts which generally occur during the winter months will often bring the vog, or

volcanic haze up the island chain. Although SO2is not expected to be elevated in

this community, initially, both PM2.5and SO2will be monitored.

2012 Annual Network Plan 20 State of Hawaii
NO2 Near-Road Monitoring

On February 9, 2010, the EPA revised the NO2 NAAQS to include a 1-hour standard.

The revision also included new requirements for near-road monitoring at locations

where peak hourly NO2concentrations are expected to occur. States are required to

consider traffic volumes, fleet mix, roadway design, congestion, terrain and meteorology

in determining where to place a near-road NO2 monitor.

40 CFR 58 Appendix D, Section 4.3.2(a) requires that there must be one microscale

near-road NO2 monitoring station in each Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA) with a

population of 500,000 or more persons. In the 2010 U.S. Census, the Honolulu CBSA

had a population of 953,207, requiring the state to establish one near-road monitoring

station. Additional near-road monitoring is also required if the CBSA has any roadway

segment with 250,000 or more annual average daily traffic (AADT) count. The latest

AADT counts provided by the state Department of Transportation did not show any road

segment with volumes of 250,000 or more therefore additional near-road monitoring is

not required.

The following information and procedures were used in prioritizing the candidate road

segments for the near road monitoring:

• AADT counts provided by the state Department of Transportation (DOT);

• Reconnaissance;

• Roadway design;

• Terrain;

• Upwind, downwind siting;

• Roadside structures or obstructions;

• Existing infrastructure;

• Location of any near-by sources of NO2;

• Available space and property owner;

• Access, security and safety;

• Population; and,

• Local knowledge of confounding or unique influences

The DOT did not have specific fleet mix or congestion data available. Fleet mix and

congestion were therefore determined by other means such as travel activity by vehicle

type and functional class and by using local knowledge.

Of the six road segments with the highest AADT counts, three were eliminated due to

factors such as elevation, major obstructions, restricted access, low population base or

other highly undesirable factors. Table 2-12 lists the comparison matrix used to rank

the top two road segments as candidates for near-road monitoring.

The area ranked first will be pursued as the preferred monitoring station location. Since

there are many factors involved in procuring the site, such as landowner permission,

lease agreement and/or fee negotiations, security, and utility access, if the priority site is

deemed unattainable, the state will proceed to the second choice.

Brief Description:

Hi Interstate, east-bound at the Punahou off-ramp is a major ingress to Waikiki and

the heavily populated Manoa/McCully area. On the opposite side is the Alexander

Street on-ramp to the HI west-bound. Residents in this area have long complained

of fumes, pollution and soot from car/truck exhaust on this very congested stretch of

the freeway.

The selected location, on the grounds of Shriner’s Hospital, is approximately 15

meters downwind from the edge of the Hi-east freeway. The immediate area

contains two hospitals (Shriner’s Hospital for Children and Kapiolani Medical Center

for Women and Children), an elderly retirement condomiunium, several schools, a

church, and residential communities. Approval for installing the station has been

obtained from Shriner’s Hospital with nearby utility hook-ups available.

2.13 Modifications

PM collocated FEM monitor

Planned: Kona, Hawaii station (150011012)

The state’s largest pollutant network is PM2.5with five SLAMS and six SPMS

stations. According to the quality assurance requirements of 40 CFR Appendix A,

15% of the PM25 monitors should be collocated. With all of the 11 PM2.5monitors

being continuous FEM BAMS 1020, one collocated FRM and one collocated FEM

are required. The collocated FRM monitor is located at the Kapolei SLAMS station.

To meet the minimum collocation requirements, DOH plans to add one FEM

collocated monitor at the Kona station. Kona consistently records some of the

highest PM2.5values in the state due to volcanic emissions.

Honolulu, Hawaii 96814

I offer a few comments on the 2012 Hawaii Air Monitoring Network Plan. I believe the plan

is out of date for the County of Hawaii because of events that occurred this past year. I

believe these changes should become part of the 2012 Plan because there is time to include

them and they directly have a major impact on the health and safety of the residents.

The PUNA E air monitoring station should change its monitoring sensitivity for hydrogen

sulfide. The current level is 25 ppm and that is consistent with the state 1- hour level of

exposure. While correct, it is in contrast with the County Civil Defense and the Puna

Geothermal Venture that have chosen 1 ppm as their action alert level. The State/EPA

station should use the same 1 ppm level.

The U.S. Army at Pohakuloa Training Area (and Schofield on Oahu) has ceased their air

monitoring activities. I believe the State/EPA should now begin air monitoring activity as a

result of this cessation by the military as noted in its monitoring plan at the following internet

site: (http ://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML 1 204/ML 1 2046A5 06 .pdf) February 3, 2012.

Analysis for DU in aerosols should be added to those components normally monitored with a

standard station. It is particularly important to monitor PM as there are nearby public

facilities, a girl scout camp and a state park. In addition, there are always a large number of

both military and civilian personnel at the Pohakuloa base.

Thank you for your consideration regarding the health and safety ofthe people of the County

of Hawaii.

Dear Dr. Reimer:

Subject: Comments on the 2012 Hawaii Air Monitoring Network Plan

Thank you for your letter of June 3, 2012 providing comments on the 2012 Hawaii Air

Monitoring Network Plan.

The Department of Health, Clean Air Branch (DOH), monitors hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at

parts per billion (ppb) levels at the Puna E station in Pahoa, Hawaii. This sensitivity

allows the DOH to measure exceedances of the state’s one-hour H2Sstandard of

25 ppb, as well as the Hawaii County Civil Defense action level of 1,000 ppb (or one

part per million).

The DOH does not have the capability, resources, or authority to monitor for radiation

and depleted uranium as conducted by the U. S. Army at the Pohakuloa Training Area

on the island of Hawaii. The DOH air monitoring network is established primarily to

monitor for criteria pollutants for which the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency has

set National Ambient Air Quality Standards and the plan documents the state’s

compliance with the requirements set forth in Title 40 Part 58 of the Code of Federal

Regulations.

If you have any questions, please call Ms. Lisa Young of my staff at (808) 586-4200.

Sincerely,

NOLAN S. HIRAI

Acting Manager, Clean Air Branch
