State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 3
1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document fulfills the obligation, under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, § 58.10(a), 

requiring the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to complete and submit to the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) an annual monitoring network plan for the year 2014.

This plan informs EPA Region 9 of the monitoring activities ADEQ has implemented since July 2013, as well as 

activities ADEQ will undertake through December 2015. However, some changes may occur after the plan is 

published and approved due to unforeseen events at monitoring sites, funding changes, or changes in EPA 

monitoring requirements. Data from ADEQ's monitors are reported to EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) database 

and to AirNow. In 40 CFR Part 51, EPA requires states to create, submit, and adopt State Implementation Plans 

(SIPs) to address the various issues and responsibilities involved with creating and implementing air quality 

programs. 40 CFR Part 51 Subpart J specifies that 40 CFR Part 58 Subpart -C contain the requirements for 

establishing air quality surveillance systems to monitor ambient air quality. 

Air quality surveillance systems consist of networks of monitors located at carefully selected physical locations 

referred to as sites or stations. Some of the networks, sites, and monitors include:

• State and Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS)

• National Core multipollutant monitoring stations (NCore)

• Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS)

• Chemical Speciation Network (CSN)

• National Air Toxics Trends Sites (NATTS)

• Special Purpose Monitors (SPM) 

• Urban Haze monitoring sites

• Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environments (IMPROVE)

• AirNow information sites

• Source-oriented monitoring sites operated independently by permittees (Industry)

• Meteorological sites

This Annual Monitoring Network Plan identifies the purpose(s) of each monitor and provides evidence that both 

the siting and the operation of each monitor meets the requirements in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendices A, C, D, and E 

as follows:

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 4
• Appendix A – Quality Assurance Requirements for SLAMS, SPMs, and Prevention of Significant 

Deterioration (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 for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

The results of the annual network review and planning are used to determine how well the networks are achieving 

their required air monitoring objectives, how well they meet data users’ needs, and how they should be modified 

to continue meeting their objectives and data needs. Modifications can include the termination of existing 

stations, relocation of stations, establishment of new stations, monitoring of additional parameters, and/or changes 

to the sampling schedule. The annual network review and planning are performed for the purpose of improving 

the monitoring networks and ensuring that they provide adequate, representative, and regulatory compliant air 

quality data.

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 5
2.0 ADEQ PROGRAM AND NETWORK DESCRIPTIONS

ADEQ operates ambient air quality equipment for a variety of Federal and State monitoring programs. Detailed 

descriptions of the equipment deployed for each monitoring program are presented in Appendix C of this 

Network Plan. The equipment is grouped by monitoring program or network to easily compare instrument 

specifics. Appendix D of this Network Plan lists information on each of ADEQ's current and recently closed 

monitoring sites, including those sites which ADEQ shares with other agencies or serves as the local site operator. 

General information about the monitoring programs in which ADEQ participates is described in the following 

sections.

2.1 NAAQS Compliance Network

ADEQ’s compliance network consists of monitoring sites operated for the purpose of demonstrating compliance 

with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the “criteria” pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), 

nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), and lead (Pb). For 

each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect public health. The criteria 

pollutants are measured using instruments designated by EPA as Federal Reference Methods (FRM) or Federal 

Equivalent Methods (FEM). 40 CFR Part 58 specifies the minimum requirements for determining NAAQS 

compliance including the following network and site criteria:

• Number and types of monitors required per Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) by pollutant

• Objectives and spatial scales

• Sampling frequency

• Collocation

• Special NCore-related requirements

• Meteorology

• Probe location and other restrictions within a site

• Periodic performance evaluations

• Quality Assurance

• Data reporting

2.2 State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Maintenance Area Network

ADEQ maintains several air monitoring sites for the purpose of tracking compliance in areas that are currently in 

non- attainment for one or more of the NAAQS, and in areas where the NAAQS have been met but on-going 

demonstration of maintenance is required. Specific monitoring requirements for each of these areas are described 

in their respective SIPs and/or Maintenance Plans.

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 6
2.3 Source-Oriented Network

Several major point sources in the state are required to conduct ambient monitoring for criteria pollutants, 

primarily PM10 and SO2, as part of their air quality permit. Some of the source-generated data from these sites 

have been submitted to AQS. As indicated in the 2012 Network Plan, ADEQ met with Freeport-McMoRan 

Copper and Gold, Inc. (FMMI) to discuss the role of Primary Quality Assurance Organization (PQAO) for the

Miami Golf Course PM10, Miami Townsite SO2, and Miami Jones Ranch SO2 monitors. ADEQ collocated 

instruments at these sites to meet the PQAO requirements for submittal of these data to AQS. ADEQ installed the 

PM10 monitor at the Miami Golf Course site in fall 2012, and the SO2 monitors at the Miami Jones Ranch site and 

Miami Townsite in early 2013. Data are being collected from both the FMMI and ADEQ monitors at these sites 

for at least one year for comparability analysis and preparation of the comparative data analysis review for 

submittal to EPA. After data comparison of the PM10 at Miami Golf Course, the data were found to be 

reasonably comparable and FMMI has stopped monitoring at the site. The data comparison for the SO2 will be 

completed in the near future and if found to be comparable, FMMI will have the option to stop monitoring at 

these sites as well. Discussions with American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) are ongoing to have 

ADEQ collocate SO2 at sites in and around Hayden, AZ. 

2.4 NCore Network

EPA describes the nationwide NCore network, which is composed of approximately 70 urban and 20 rural sites,

as a multipollutant network that integrates several advanced measurement systems for particles, pollutant gases, 

and meteorology. Some objectives of the NCore network include:

• Tracking long-term trends of criteria and non-criteria pollutants;

• Support for long-term health assessments which contribute to ongoing reviews of the NAAQS;

• Support to scientific studies ranging across technological, health, and atmospheric process disciplines

• Support to ecosystem assessments recognizing that national air quality networks benefit ecosystem 

assessments and, in turn, benefit from data specifically designed to address ecosystem analyses.

As required by 40 CFR Part 58.13, ADEQ’s NCore site, JLG Supersite, was operational by January 1, 2011. In 

addition to the above missions and the NCore monitoring requirements set forth in the 40 CFR Part 58.13, ADEQ 

will use the JLG Supersite to test new technologies in various ADEQ monitoring networks. Examples include 

advanced communications and serial data collection, remote zero/span/precision (Z/S/P) checks and calibrations, 

high sensitivity instruments, and instruments that monitor additional pollutants that may be added to current CFR 

requirements. Additional NCore information is available from the EPA website: 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/ncore/index.html

2.5 Meteorological Network

ADEQ collects meteorological data at sites throughout the state to support the analysis of ambient air quality data 

and to provide support for exceptional event reporting. Meteorological measurements are also required for the 

NCore and PAMS networks. ADEQ continues to add meteorological instrumentation to most of ADEQ’s 

monitoring sites that were not previously equipped, and for which there are adequate facilities to support the 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 7
meteorological tower and equipment. ADEQ currently meets the meteorological monitoring requirements for the 

NCore and PAMS networks.

2.6 Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS)

Section 182(c)(1) of the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments requires the Administrator to promulgate rules 

for enhanced monitoring of O3 that includes concurrent monitoring of O3, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), total reactive 

nitrogen (NOy), speciated volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbonyls, CO, and meteorology to obtain 

comprehensive and representative O3 data. Immediately following the promulgation of those rules, ADEQ began 

to implement a program to improve ambient monitoring activities related to the precursors of O3. The subsequent 

revisions to 40 CFR Part 58 (1993) required states to establish PAMS as part of their monitoring networks in O3

nonattainment areas classified as serious, severe, or extreme. The principal reasons for requiring the collection of 

additional ambient air pollutants and meteorological data are the widespread nonattainment of the O3 NAAQS and 

the need for a more comprehensive air quality database for O3 and its precursors. ADEQ operates three PAMS 

sites to represent the Phoenix metropolitan area: JLG Supersite (type 2), Queen Valley (type 3), and VEI 

(meteorological).

EPA assembled a workgroup to evaluate the current PAMS program and to consider the possible re-invention of 

the PAMS program. The scope of the evaluation was extensive and included PAMS objectives, methods, network 

design, and quality assurance. ADEQ participates in the PAMS re-engineering process and will continue to 

follow its activity closely to be aware of possible future implications for the ADEQ network.

2.7 National Air Toxics Trend Sites (NATTS)

The NATTS network was designed to monitor and record the concentrations of EPA identified air toxics on a 

national scale. Data from EPA’s national monitoring activities are used to estimate national average 

concentrations for these air toxics compounds and to detect trends. Using this information, EPA, states, and local 

agencies can estimate changes to the human exposure from air toxics. Detection of increased human toxicity risk

can then be used to support changes in environmental policy. As part of the National Air Toxics Assessment 

(NATA) process, ambient air quality data are used to assess the national toxics inventory and long-term hazardous 

air pollutant (HAP) trends. ADEQ’s JLG Supersite is the designated NATTS site for the Phoenix MSA.

2.8 Chemical Speciation Network (CSN)

The CSN was established to meet the regulatory requirements for monitoring speciated PM2.5 to determine the 

chemical composition of these particles. The purpose of the CSN is to determine, over a period of several years, 

trends in concentration levels of selected ions, metals, carbon species, and organic compounds in the PM2.5

samples collected at select sites throughout the country. The program began in 1999 with 54 Speciation Trends 

Network (STN) sites across the nation located primarily in or near larger MSAs. The network has increased to 

around 200 sites nationwide. PM2.5 speciation monitoring at JLG Supersite includes two CSN PM2.5 speciation 

samplers. The collocated IMPROVE samplers provide precision and bias information for the IMPROVE network 

and the data are reasonably comparable to the CSN speciation data. In 2009, the URG 3000N sampler was added 

at JLG for collecting the carbon sample in lieu of the Met One SuperSASS, which had been used to collect all 

three types of filter samples e.g. Quartz, Teflon, and Nylon. The laboratory analysis method for carbon samples 

collected by the URG also changed. These changes to the CSN program’s monitoring and analytical design were 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 8
geared toward more closely matching the carbon analytes from the CSN sampler to those collected via the 

IMPROVE network.

2.9 Class 1 Area Network and IMPROVE Program 

The rural visibility monitoring networks track impairment in specified national parks and wilderness areas. These 

parks and wilderness areas are called federally mandatory Class 1 areas and were designated based on an 

evaluation required by Congress in the 1977 Federal CAA Amendments. The evaluation, performed by the 

United States Forest Service (USFS) and National Park Service (NPS), reviewed the areas of parks and national 

forests, which were designated as wilderness before 1977, were larger than 6,000 acres, and to which visual air 

was an important resource for the visitor experience. Of the 156 Class 1 areas designated across the nation, 12 are 

located in Arizona. Nine Class 1 areas are located in USFS land and three in NPS land. EPA initiated the 

nationally-operated IMPROVE monitoring network in 1987, whose purpose is to characterize broad regional 

trends and visibility conditions using monitoring data collected in or near Class 1 wilderness areas across the 

United States. Ten Class 1 IMPROVE sites were originally placed in and around these Class 1 areas. One of 

these sites, Grand Canyon National Park-Indian Gardens, has been shut down recently. Additionally, ADEQ 

added six other IMPROVE sites identified as Protocol sites. Refer to section 4.12 and the map in Appendix B for 

additional details regarding ADEQ’s Class 1 Visibility and IMPROVE networks.

2.10 AirNow Reporting 

ADEQ reports near real-time data for of its continuous air quality monitors to the AirNow system. The AirNow 

system is a set of near real-time public maps which report an Air Quality Index (AQI) for the five major air 

pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act. These pollutants are: ground-level O3, PM, CO, SO2, and NO2. The 

purpose of the AQI is to help understand what local air quality means to your health. To make it easier to 

understand, the AQI is divided into six color coded categories: Good, Moderate, Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, 

Unhealthy, Very Unhealthy and Hazardous. ADEQ will continue to expand efforts for data submission to 

AirNow to support the collection and nationwide dissemination of consistently provided air quality data in the 

AQI. The AQI format is used by local weather forecasters, medical facilities, schools and the general public to 

make health-related activity decisions based on the reported local AQI.

2.11 Urban Haze Network

The purpose of the Urban Haze Network is to provide State and Local policy-makers and the public with 

information regarding the urban haze levels, track short-term and long-term trends, assess source contributions, 

and better evaluate the effectiveness of air pollution control strategies. ADEQ utilizes transmissometers, 

particulate monitors, and/or digital camera systems to evaluate urban visibility. More than a decade of urban 

visibility data has been collected for the Phoenix and Tucson area. Currently, only the Phoenix metropolitan area

urban visibility is monitored using high resolution cameras. Additional details regarding ADEQ’s Urban Haze 

Network can be found in section 4.13. 

2.12 E-BAM Network of PM2.5 Special Purpose Monitors

E-BAM monitors are special purpose monitors which provide continuous, real-time particulate concentration data 

that is useful for making informed smoke management decisions related to prescribed burns and wildfire 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 9
monitoring. The current network of special purpose continuous particulate monitors (listed in Table 2.12-1) is 

composed of lightweight, portable E-BAM monitors typically in self-contained, environmentally sealed

enclosures. They can be battery or solar powered for operation at sites without fixed electrical power. Data are 

sampled every second and concentrations are calculated and recorded every minute. E-BAM monitors have been 

used by many agencies, particularly in the western United States. They are not classified as FRMs or FEMs and 

may not be used to demonstrate NAAQS compliance. ADEQ uses these monitors primarily in populated areas 

that could be impacted by smoke from prescribed burns and wildfires. In 2011 ADEQ configured the E-BAM 

monitors to measure PM2.5 to be consistent with the National Forest Service monitors. Hourly PM2.5 data from the 

E-BAM monitors can be viewed at: http://www.phoenixvis.net/PPMmain.aspx.

2.13 Arizona / Mexico Border Network

ADEQ works with the EPA Border Program as part of the U.S. – Mexico Border Air Monitoring Working Group. 

This working group’s primary priority is reviewing the air quality monitoring data and air monitoring networks in 

rural and urban areas along the border and evaluating the adequacy of these networks. The secondary priority of 

this group is to identify operational and maintenance needs, plan for future capabilities, and develop 

recommendations to resolve any inadequacies. Through this effort, relationships between EPA, ADEQ, 

Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), and Commission for Ecology and Sustainable 

Development (CEDES) are expected to develop, such that data are shared across the border and capacity is built 

to meet the needs of the air monitoring program objectives.

3.0 MONITORING NETWORK EVALUATION 

This section provides a summary of changes to ADEQ's monitoring networks completed since the 2013 Network 

Plan submission, as well as changes planned for July 2014 through December 2015. Any occurrence of 

unplanned changes due to emerging needs, budget constraints, or other circumstances will be documented in next 

year’s Air Monitoring Network Plan, and ADEQ will communicate with EPA Region 9 regarding any significant 

changes on a case-by-case basis. Below is a summary of the planned network changes. Details regarding these 

changes can be found in Section 4 of this Monitoring Network Plan. 

3.1 Site Closures 

Prescott Valley – Although monitoring in Prescott Valley began in 2007, the MSA population does not require 

PM10 or PM2.5 monitoring there. Statistical analysis shows that these monitors are reporting concentrations 

significantly below the NAAQS. ADEQ shut down both PM10 and PM2.5 monitors at this site on January 1, 2014. 

Instruments were removed on January 16, 2013.

3.2 New Sites Planned

Lake Havasu City, AZ – ADEQ plans to add monitoring in Lake Havasu City due to it being recently designated 

an MSA. As there are no data from this area, modeling will be utilized to determine the area of highest 

concentration. The data will be used for regulatory purposes as part of the NAAQS Compliance Network and will 

be used to determine if monitoring will be needed in the future. An O3, PM10, and PM2.5 monitor is planned to be 

added by January 2016.

Sierra Vista, AZ – ADEQ plans to add O3 monitoring in Sierra Vista due to it being recently designated an MSA. 

As there is no data from this area, modeling will be utilized to determine the area of highest concentration. The 

data will be used for regulatory purposes as part of the NAAQS Compliance Network, and will be used to 

determine if monitoring will be needed in the future. Currently the Sierra Vista MSA has a PM10 monitor and a 

PM2.5 monitor in Douglas, AZ. These are located in the area of highest concentration and will used to satisfy the 

requirements for PM10 and PM2.5 monitoring for the MSA. The O3 monitor is planned to be added by January

2016. 

3.3 Network Changes – Current and Planned

Ajo – A temperature and RH probe was added on February 11, 2014 to match the ADEQ’s meteorological setup 

as found at all other sites.

Alamo Lake – This site is currently the transport/background site for the O3 network. The site is sufficiently 

remote that it is being configured to be the designated background site for several pollutants. ADEQ installed a 

Met One PM10 FEM BAM 1020 at Alamo Lake on October 30, 2013, a Met One PM2.5 FEM BAM 1020 on 

November 15, 2013,and an Ecotech SO2 9850T on January 14, 2014. An Ecotech NOx 9841, A CO analyzer, and 

meteorological instruments will be installed in the next year. The SO2, NOx, and CO analyzers are designated as 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 11
SPM for the purpose of providing background data as a part of Arizona’s permitting process, SIP development,

and for modeling. This will allow permit applicants to use same background data throughout the entire state. The 

plan is to discontinue these monitors after two years of monitoring. 

Flagstaff PM10 and PM2.5 – The statistical analysis for Flagstaff shows that PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations are 

significantly below the NAAQS and monitors are not required for this area based on MSA population. ADEQ 

shut down both the PM10 and PM2.monitors on January 1, 2014. Instruments were removed on January 2, 2014. 

See Section 3.5 for the statistical analysis in accordance with 40 CFR §58.14(c)(1).

Payson Well Site PM10 – Part of the network planning process is to assess the representativeness of the monitors 

for sampling ambient air. There have been several structural changes at the Payson Well Site that are limiting 

airflow around this monitor. These include construction of new buildings and growth of trees. ADEQ met with 

the site manager to define a more suitable location. On December 2, 2013, ADEQ received delivery of a shelter 

to houseaPM10 FEM BAM 1020. In May 2014 electrical power was established to the shelter at Payson Well Site

and on XX, 2014 the PM10 FEM BAM 1020 was thereby replacing the collocated Thermo Partisol PM10 FRM 

monitors starting July 1, 2014. As a result, this site will no longer be collocated for PM10, as there is no 

collocation requirement for PM10 FEM monitors.

Prescott College O3 – In 2013, the administration at Prescott College contacted ADEQ with plans to renovate the 

building where the O3 analyzer was located. The renovation was aligned so that the full 2013 O3 season was 

monitored, and then the instrument was shut down and removed. The location of the analyzer did not meet siting 

requirements pertaining to the proximity of a roadway. With Grove Avenue having a daily traffic count of 

17,650, a minimum distance of 30m is required. The distance to the roadway of the old location was only 8m, 

thus requiring ADEQ to submit a yearly waiver to EPA Region 9. The new location is still located at Prescott 

College, (See Figure 3.3-3) but now meets the siting requirements and is 45m from the roadway. The new 

location is located 180m to the southwest of the previous site and is free of any obstructions from trees or other 

buildings. The site change resulted in an address change from 336 Grove Ave. to 226 Grove Ave. Since the site 

is so close in proximity to the old site, and is now meeting siting requirements, the AQS ID will remain the same. 

The analyzer was shut off due to the end of O3 season on November 1, 2013, and was removed from the previous 

location. The instrument was shut off during O3 season and on January 16, 2014 a Teledyne 400e analyzer was 

installed, replacing the Thermo 49c analyzer for continuous monitoring of O3. Data recovery started March 1, 

2014 at the beginning of O3 season. 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 12
Figure 3.3 1 Google Earth Image of the New and Old Location of the Prescott College O3 Analyzer

Prescott Valley - The statistical analysis for Prescott Valley shows that PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations are 

significantly below the NAAQS and that monitors are not required for this area based on MSA population. 

ADEQ shut down both the PM10 and PM2.monitors on January 1, 2014 and instruments were removed on January 

2, 2014.

4.0 ADEQ MONITORING NETWORKS

The minimum monitoring requirements for each pollutant are described in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D and are 

typically based on the population of urban areas. Current minimum monitoring requirements are only associated 

with MSAs, and there are no minimum monitoring requirements for Micropolitan Statistical Areas. Tables 4.0-1 

and 4.0-2 outline metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas in Arizona as identified by the U.S. Census 

Bureau.

4.1 PM2.5 Monitoring Network Requirements

The number of PM2.5 samplers required in urban areas is based on population (see Table 4.0-1) and design values 

for PM2.5 concentrations (see Table 4.1-1).

The required sample collection frequency is based on the type of sampler and the design value calculated from 

data collected at each FRM (filter-based) or FEM (continuous) sampler (see Table 4.1-2). 40 CFR §58.12 (d)(1) 

states the manual PM2.5 sample collection frequency requirement at required SLAMS stations as every third day at 

sites without a collocated continuously operating PM2.5 monitor.

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 16
ADEQ currently operates EPA-approved FEM monitors at six PM2.5 monitoring sites. An EPA-approved FEM 

monitor was deployed to the Alamo Lake site in January 2014; this site is the designated as the PM2.5 monitoring 

network’s Background site. Yuma Supersite is designated as the required PM2.5 Transport site. ADEQ operates 

both an EPA-approved FEM continuous monitor and a Partisol 2000 PM2.5 FRM at the JLG Supersite fulfilling an 

NCore collocation requirement. The EPA-approved FEM sampler is designated the primary PM2.5 monitor for 

NAAQS compliance purposes. 

Several non-FEM continuous PM2.5 monitors are also in operation throughout the state, most of which are 

associated with the Smoke Management E-BAM network. See Section 2.12 for additional details on the E-BAM 

network. 

4.1.1 PM2.5 Collocation Requirements

For the ADEQ PM2.5 network, one site is required to have collocated monitoring. The Nogales Post Office site 

has the highest PM2.5 design value in ADEQ’s PM2.5 network and is therefore the designated PM2.5 collocated site. 

ADEQ operates both an EPA-approved FEM continuous instrument and two Partisol 2000 PM2.5 FRM 

instruments at the Nogales Post Office site. The FEM BAM 1020 is designated as the primary PM2.5 monitor for 

this site, thus enabling ADEQ to exceed the required 1-in-3 day monitoring frequency. This combination of 

instruments also fulfills the collocation requirement of the PM2.5 network for ADEQ. The QA collocated Partisol 

PM2.5 FRM operates on a 1-in-6 day monitoring frequency rather than the required 1-in-12 day monitoring 

frequency.

Additionally, ADEQ operates one Partisol 2000 PM2.5 FRM instrument and one continuous PM2.5 FEM monitor at 

the JLG Supersite. This PM2.5 FEM is designated the primary instrument as required by NCore. The PM2.5 FEM 

monitor is also labeled as an NCore PMcoarse paired monitor. The PM2.5 FRM instrument is labeled as a QA 

collocated instrument for the site. Table 4.1-3 summarizes ADEQ’s PM2.5 collocation requirements.

4.1.2 Relocating Any Violating PM2.5 Monitors

ADEQ does not have any violating PM2.5 monitors that are being considered for relocation. A process for 

relocating violating PM2.5 monitors is required and described in 40 CFR Part 58.10 (c). It requires the annual 

monitoring network plan to document how state and local agencies provide for the review of changes to a PM2.5

monitoring network that impact the location of a violating PM2.5 monitor or the creation/change to a community 

monitoring zone. The analysis includes a description of the proposed use of spatial averaging for purposes of 

making comparisons to the annual PM2.5 NAAQS as set forth in Appendix N to Part 50. The affected agency must 

document the process for obtaining public comment and include any comments received through the public 

notification process within their submitted plan. ADEQ does not intend to establish community monitoring zones 

as described in the rule or utilize spatial averaging for comparison to the PM2.5 NAAQS. A public comment 

procedure is required prior to relocation of a violating monitor and ADEQ will utilize the following procedure:

1. Evaluation of the potential replacement site will include review and comparison of available pollutant 

data, meteorology, climatology, terrain, and siting characteristics. This information will be documented in 

a brief report.

2. Make notice of such a change in the annual monitoring network plan.

3. If the change must be accomplished prior to annual monitoring network plan submittal, ADEQ will make 

appropriate notice via the agency Web page and invite participation from the public prior to relocation of 

the affected site.

4. Relocation of the monitor.

4.2 PM10 Monitoring Network Requirements

The number of PM10 samplers required in urban areas is based on the population of the area (see Table 4.2-1) and 

design values for PM10 24-hour concentrations (see Table 4.2-2). Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima Counties have 

delegated authority for their monitoring networks and AQS reporting. ADEQ's PM10 monitoring network 

includes the MSAs in all other Arizona counties, as well as the PM10 nonattainment areas in those counties. JLG 

Supersite PM10 concentrations for NCore are provided by the PM10 FEM BAM 1020.

100,000 – <250,000 1-2 0-1 0

The monitoring rule in 40 CFR Part 58.12(e) states that for PM10 sites, “...the minimum monitoring schedule for 

the site in the area of expected maximum concentration shall be based on the relative level of that monitoring site 

concentration with respect to the 24-hour standard.” ADEQ has transitioned most PM10 monitors from filter-based 

methods to continuous methods. By July1, 2014 all the primary PM10 monitors in the ADEQ PM10 network will 

be continuous methods. Payson Well Site will continue as the PM10 collocated filter-based monitoring station

until July 1, 2014. Table 4.2-2 lists the PM10 network site Design Values and Annual Means

4.2.1 PM10 Collocation Requirements

There are no collocation requirements for EPA-approved PM10 FEM monitors. ADEQ has transitioned the PM10

network to continuous FEM monitors. ADEQ does operate an additional Partisol 2000 FRM at the Nogales Post 

Office site. While the FEM is designated as the primary PM10 monitor, the Partisol 2000 monitor is designated a 

QA collocated PM10 instrument. Table 4.2-3 summarizes ADEQ’s PM10 collocation requirements.

The minimum monitoring requirements for O3 are shown above in Table 4.3-1. ADEQ operates a network of 

seven O3 monitors throughout Arizona (see Table 4.3-2). ADEQ is updating the O3 network with remote 

zero/span/precision checks utilizing the Teledyne T703 UV Photometric O3 Calibrator with Internal Zero Air 

Pump and External Zero Air Shut-Off Valve. This will allow air monitoring staff to more efficiently maintain the 

O3 network while minimizing travel time during the O3 season, and avoiding calibration during the peak hours of 

the day when O3 levels are highest. Additionally, Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties operate O3 monitors.

4.3.1 O3 Season

In accordance with 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D, Paragraph 4.1(i), “Deviation from the [January-to-December] 

O3 monitoring season must be approved by the EPA Regional Administrator, documented in the annual network 

plan, and updated in AQS. Information on how to analyze O3 data to support a change to the O3 season in 

support of the 8-hour standard for a specific state can be found in reference 8 to this appendix”. Reference 8 

refers to the Guideline for Selecting and Modifying the Ozone Monitoring Season Based on an 8-hour Ozone 

Standard. In compliance with this document, ADEQ analyzed the most recent seven years of O3 data (2007-2013

O3 data from ADEQ sites) to create the chart in Figure 4.3-1, which is the basis of ADEQ’s request for modifying 

the O3 season to March through October. The only two days in October > 75 ppb occurred in 2009, which

included an unusually high number of exceedance days. The O3 season was extended in 2012 to include March 

because some parts of Arizona begin experiencing low concentrations of O3 in March. ADEQ does additional 

monitoring in the off-season of November – February for its own purposes; however, those data are not being 

reported to the AQS database. The JLG Supersite will continue to operate on a January to December schedule.

Figure 4.3-1 Average Number of Days O3 > 75 ppb all ADEQ Sites Combined

4.4 Pb Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ has operated three source-oriented TSP Hi-Vol Pb monitors between the Globe Highway site (collocated) 

and the Miami Golf Course site since January 2011. 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D states that at a minimum, there 

must be one source-oriented SLAMS site located to measure the maximum Pb concentration in ambient air 

resulting from each non-airport source which emits 0.50 or more tons per year and each airport source which 

emits 1.0 or more tons per year. Per the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) 2011, there are no non-airport 

sources in the 0.5-1.0 ton per year category. For the NCore-Pb requirement, ADEQ uses the same PM10 metals 

speciation sample that is used for the NATTS program. Eastern Research Group (ERG) currently analyzes these 

samples and on June 1, 2012 received EPA approval for the ICP-MS analysis method for lead in PM10. No 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 22
changes in the actual monitoring or analysis method will occur for Pb-PM10 data collected at JLG Supersite; 

however, parameter code 85129 and method code 202 are now associated with these data in AQS.

4.4.1 Pb Collocation Requirements

ADEQ’s Pb network requires only one collocated site. The Globe Highway site located in Hayden, AZ has the 

highest design value in the Pb network and is therefore the collocated site. Although ADEQ monitors NCore-Pb 

at the JLG Supersite, collocated NCore-Pb sites are determined by the EPA and JLG Supersite is not a designated 

NCore-Pb collocated site. Table 4.4-1 summarizes ADEQ’s Pb collocation requirements.

4.5 SO2 Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ operates a network of six SO2 monitors throughout Arizona. Authority to operate SO2 monitors has also 

been delegated to Maricopa and Pima Counties. Additionally, two sources, ASARCO and FMMI, operate SO2

monitoring networks in Gila County for permit compliance and to support SIP rule requirements. ADEQ is 

currently negotiating with both sources to ensure that the monitors are operated under the required quality 

assurance requirements. In Miami, ADEQ runs the Miami Ridgeline site and added SO2 monitors at the Miami 

Townsite and Jones Ranch sites, which FMMI has been monitoring. For Hayden, ADEQ currently operates an

SO2 monitor at Hayden Old Jail. ADEQ initiated discussions with ASARCO regarding Globe Highway and 

Montgomery Ranch on the best means to meet the PQAO requirements. ADEQ also operates a trace-level SO2

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 23
monitor at its NCore site (JLG Supersite), as required by 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D. An SO2 monitor was 

placed at Alamo Lake in February 2014 and is designated as the background SPM monitor. 

The SO2 monitoring requirements in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D are based on a Population Weighted Emissions 

Index (PWEI) calculated for each CBSA. CBSAs with PWEIs greater than 5,000 require at least one SO2

monitor, PWEIs greater than 100,000 require a minimum of two SO2 monitors, and PWEIs greater than 1,000,000 

require three SO2 monitors. There are no PWEI greater than 5,000 in Arizona, but there are other SO2 monitors in 

Arizona, which are operated by Maricopa County and Pima County.

4.6 NO2 Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ currently operates only one NO2 monitor throughout the state of Arizona with one planned to be deployed 

this year. These NO2 monitors are located at the JLG Supersite and Alamo Lake. JLG is operated to fulfill a 

PAMS requirement and Alamo Lake is designated as a background SPM site. 

The NO2 monitoring requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D are based on a combination of CBSA 

population and Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts. The first requirement to be considered is the 

CBSA population. CBSAs with populations greater than 500,000 are required to operate one near-roadway 

monitor, while CBSAs with populations greater than 2.5 million are required to operate two near-roadway 

monitors. Additionally, CBSAs with populations greater than 500,000 and containing roadway segments with 

250,000 or greater AADT require two near-roadway monitors. As can be seen in table 4.0-1, two CBSAs within 

Arizona (Phoenix and Tucson Metro areas) contain populations greater than 500,000, and therefore, require at 

least one NO2 near-roadway monitor. The Phoenix CBSA exceeds 2.5 million in population; therefore, two nearroadway monitors are needed in the Phoenix CBSA. Pima and Maricopa Counties will operate the required nearroadway monitors in Tucson and Phoenix, respectively. 

In addition to the near-roadway monitoring requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D, there is also a 

requirement for area-wide NO2 monitoring. CBSAs with populations of one million or more require one NO2

monitor to measure NO2 concentrations that represent neighborhood or larger spatial scales. The Phoenix 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 24
metropolitan area is the only area within the state of Arizona that requires ambient monitoring of NO2. The 

current NO2 monitors operated by Maricopa and Pima Counties are meeting the current monitoring requirements 

set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D. ADEQ will continue to monitor NO2 at JLG Supersite as part of the 

NOx measurements required by the PAMS program. See Table 4.6-1 for design values.

4.7 Carbon monoxide (CO) Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ operates only one CO monitor throughout Arizona, with plans to operate a second at Alamo Lake as a 

background SPM. The current CO monitor is located at the JLG Supersite and has sufficient sensitivity to 

monitor trace levels. This CO monitor fulfills NCore as well as PAMS monitoring requirements. Maricopa and 

Pima Counties operate the other required CO monitors within the State of Arizona. The Phoenix population 

exceeds the one million population requirement set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D, therefore one CO 

monitor is required to be collocated with a near-road NO2 monitor. The required near-roadway monitor in 

Phoenix will be operated by Maricopa County. The most recent census data show the Tucson MSA is below one 

million and therefore near-road CO monitoring is not required. The Trace-Level CO (COTL) analyzer that is 

currently operated by ADEQ exceeds the minimum monitoring requirements for the NCore and PAMS network 

design criteria set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D. Due to the low range at which the JLG COTL analyzer 

operates, ADEQ urges some caution be exercised when utilizing these data for the purpose of NAAQS 

compliance. Under most circumstances, the data would be used to determine compliance with the CO NAAQS. 

However, due to the consistently low ambient concentrations, the trace-level analyzer’s operating range is set at 0-

5 ppm, which is the range most frequently measured at JLG. This operating range is well below the CO NAAQS 

of 9 ppm, therefore, when/if under certain rare circumstances, the CO concentrations are > 5 ppm, determining 

compliance with the CO NAAQS may not be possible, because measurement uncertainty increases and becomes

challenging to statistically quantify. Table 4.7-1 contains the most recent Design Values for CO at JLG Supersite.

4.8 PAMS Monitoring Network Requirements

Network design and monitoring requirements for PAMS stations are provided in 40 CFR 58 Appendix D for areas 

classified as serious, severe, or extreme nonattainment for O3. Two sites are required for each area, providing all 

chemical measurements are made. Measurements include speciated VOCs, Carbonyls, NOx, trace-level reactive 

oxides of nitrogen (NOy), CO, O3, surface meteorology, and upper air meteorology. In 2008, EPA shortened the 

PAMS monitoring season to June through August.

ADEQ's PAMS network consists of two ambient air monitoring sites in the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale MSA and a 

meteorological site for the collection of upper air meteorological data and solar radiation data. 

JLG Supersite – Type 2 PAMS Site

The JLG Supersite was designated a PAMS site in 1999. Since the required manual method of eight three-hour 

canisters running daily is impractical due to increased expenses for staff, shipping, and analysis, ADEQ returned 

in 2008 to the 2006 monitoring schedule of a 24-hour canister sample every sixth day at the JLG Supersite during 

PAMS season for VOCs. This will be reviewed when the final results of the PAMS re-engineering program are 

available which is anticipated to include recommendations for changes to monitoring and new types of 

instruments. ADEQ also operates carbonyl, O3, CO, NOx, and surface meteorological monitoring equipment at 

JLG Supersite (see Table 4.8-1). Carbonyl monitoring at JLG Supersite is not currently required for PAMS, but 

because carbonyls are considered important for PAMS, there are no current plans to discontinue carbonyl 

monitoring at JLG Supersite.

Queen Valley – Type 3 PAMS Site

Queen Valley was designated a PAMS site in 2001. The site is located near the southeastern edge of the 

photochemical modeling grid domain and is considered to be downwind of the source of maximum precursor 

emissions in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Pollutants collected at the site include speciated PAMS VOCs, O3, 

total reactive NOy, and surface meteorology measurements. ADEQ’s Five-Year Network Assessment identified 

the Queen Valley site as not meeting PAMS monitoring requirements due to the lack of meteorological 

measurements. Meteorological instrumentation was added during the second quarter of 2011 and carbonyl 

samples are not required at Type 3 sites. Table 4.8-2 lists the instrumentation and monitoring schedule at the 

Queen Valley site.

Vehicle Emissions Laboratory – Upper Air Meteorology Site

This site is intended to be a meteorological ‘supersite’ and includes a pyranometer to measure total solar 

radiation, UV solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, differential temperature (2 meters and 10 meters), and 

relative humidity. The National Weather Service (NWS) site at nearby Sky Harbor Airport collects barometric 

pressure and precipitation measurements. A Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) and a Wind Profiler had 

also been collecting continuous upper air meteorological data for determination of mixing heights since 1998 until 

July 2012. The PAMS re-engineering workgroup noted the high maintenance cost and very limited use of the 

RASS and Wind Profiler data and unofficially recommended against its continued use – particularly if usable data 

is available from other sources. ADEQ considered the high operational cost and very limited data use when 

deciding to discontinue its operation. EPA is currently exploring the possibility of using mixing height data from 

some of the 1,000 ceilometers recently placed in use by NOAA.

4.9 NCore Monitoring Network Requirements

EPA has identified JLG Supersite as the required NCore site for the Phoenix metropolitan area. JLG Supersite 

has been a multipollutant monitoring site since its establishment in 1993. Currently, several monitoring programs 

are supported at this site, including: SLAMS, PAMS, NATTS, CSN, and meteorology. The required NCore 

parameters are listed in Table 4.9-1. The required NCore monitors were operational by January 1, 2011. . The 

NCore-Pb requirement is being met by using the current Partisol 2000 PM10 sample filter) for metals speciation. 

ADEQ recently received notice that the ERG analysis method for PM10 metals speciation was approved as a 

Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) for the analysis of Pb. While there will be no physical changes to the 

instrumentation or analysis method for Pb at the NCore site, the parameter code 85129 and method code 202 are 

now associated with Pb-PM10 data in AQS.

4.10 SIP Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ, along with other delegated agencies, is responsible for the preparation and submittal of SIPs for 

nonattainment and maintenance areas in Arizona. ADEQ is responsible for conducting ambient air monitoring for 

areas not included within Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties or tribal lands. Permitted sources are also 

responsible for monitoring air quality, if it is included in their air quality permit. Some monitoring sites are 

specifically named in the area’s SIP; other monitoring sites are not specifically named, but are representative of 

the air quality in that SIP area. Table 4.10-1 lists the ADEQ and source-operated monitors used to determine SIP 

compliance.

4.11 Source Compliance Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ requires select major and minor point sources in the state to conduct ambient monitoring for selected 

pollutants in and around their sources. Some requirements are for prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 30
monitoring prior to operation of the facility. Other monitoring requirements are for the duration of the permit or 

timeframe specified therein. ADEQ activities have been limited to regular performance audits of instruments at 

some of these sites and review of ambient monitoring data submitted according to the permit requirements. 

Sources are required to review and validate their data and submit quality assurance documents to ADEQ with the 

data. Table 4.11-1 lists the monitors operated by ADEQ permitted sources.

Any data submitted to AQS needs to be approved by a PQAO that meets EPA’s QA requirements. Data from the 

ASARCO and FMMI monitors are being used for regulatory decisions and will need to be submitted to AQS. In 

spring 2012, ADEQ sent letters to ASARCO and FMMI discussing the PQAO requirements and suggesting that 

they meet with ADEQ to discuss options. FMMI representatives met with ADEQ, and in January 2013, ADEQ 

established monitors at the existing FMMI’s Miami Jones Ranch and Miami Townsite sites in the Miami, AZ 

area.

4.12 Class 1 Visibility Network

As stated previously, visibility monitoring networks track impairment in specified national parks and wilderness 

areas called Class 1 areas based on designations made by the 1977 CAA Amendments. The evaluations,

performed by the USFS and NPS, reviewed the wilderness areas of parks and national forests which were 

designated as wilderness before 1977, were more than 6,000 acres in size, and had visual air quality as an 

important resource for visitors. Of the 156 Class 1 areas designated across the nation, 12 are located in Arizona. 

For the Class 1 area designations, EPA initiated a nationally operated monitoring network in 1987 called the 

Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) program. The purpose of this network 

is to characterize broad regional trends in visibility conditions using monitoring data collected in or near Class 1 

areas across the United States. Originally, the national IMPROVE network was made up of approximately 30 

sites at Class 1 areas. During 1999-2000 the number of sites increased to approximately 110. ADEQ, Pima 

County, and federal land managers at Arizona's Class 1 areas cooperatively operate the visibility monitoring 

network in Arizona. The current network is described in Table 4.12-1. In addition to the Class 1 IMPROVE 

monitors listed in Table 4.12-1, ADEQ also operates one IMPROVE monitor at the Douglas Red Cross site, and 

two collocated IMPROVE monitors at the JLG Supersite. The JLG Supersite serves as an urban IMPROVE 

monitor and has been used to provide comparative analysis with data from the CSN network. The Douglas Red 

Cross site may serve multiple objectives. In 2012, a review of the data from the Douglas Red Cross site was 

prepared by Air Resource Specialists and provided to ADEQ. These data will be used to evaluate if this site 

should be continued or if it could be better utilized at another location. See the IMPROVE map in Appendix B 

for a spatial representation of the IMPROVE monitoring network and Class 1 areas within the state of Arizona.

4.13 Urban Haze Monitoring Network

ADEQ began studying the nature and causes of urban haze by conducting studies during the winter of 1989-90 in 

Phoenix and during the winter of 1992-93 in Tucson. These studies recommended long-term, year-round 

monitoring of visibility in both areas. In 1993, ADEQ began deploying visibility monitoring equipment in 

Phoenix and Tucson. Executive Order 2000-3 directed by the Governor’s Brown Cloud Summit was to establish 

options for a visibility standard or other method to track progress in improving visibility in the Phoenix area. The 

Summit concluded that a daily visibility index for the metropolitan area should have its characteristics defined 

through a public survey process. This process called for a representative cross-section of residents of Area A (as 

described in House Bill 2538, roughly the Phoenix metropolitan area), to determine what visual air qualities are 

desirable, what visual range is acceptable, and how often the combination of acceptable visual range and air 

quality is preferred. Through a series of meetings in 2002 and early 2003, ADEQ and the Visibility Index 

Oversight Committee designed the visibility survey, selected a contractor to conduct the survey, oversaw the 

completion of the field portion of the survey, and defined a recommended visibility index. The Visibility Index 

Oversight Committee Final Report was issued in early 2003 summarizing the visibility index.

Equipment currently used to evaluate urban visibility includes transmissometers, nephelometers, and digital 

camera systems. The Phoenix urban haze network consists of a transmissometer for measuring light extinction 

along a fixed path length of four and a half kilometers, three nephelometers for measuring light scattering, and 

five digital camera systems to record visual characteristics of the urban area. 

The Tucson urban haze network was shut down in September 2010. In early 2011, a draft summary report was 

written which summarizes the nephelometer and transmissometer data that were collected since 1997. The report 

provides summaries and trends in urban visibility data, as well as meteorological data summaries in the form of 

wind roses. This report is meant to serve as a final data summary for the Tucson Urban Haze network. 

Information from this report may be utilized in the future if further modifications are needed to the Urban Haze 

Network. 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 33
The current Phoenix urban haze sites (and their status) are described in Table 4.13-1. ADEQ continues to 

evaluate the Urban Haze program. The high-resolution images from these cameras can be viewed online at

4.14 Meteorology Monitoring Network

ADEQ operates meteorological equipment at selected sites throughout its network; see Table 4.14-1. Some sites 

were originally established because other meteorology networks (NWS, AZMet, etc.) were not located near 

ADEQ's ambient air quality sites. As recommended in ADEQ’s Five-Year Network Assessment, ADEQ has 

begun to expand the meteorology monitoring network and standardize the meteorological measurements so that 

all sites collect measurements of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and relative humidity. Currently, 

Alamo is the only meteorological site that does not have the full suite of meteorological instruments. A 

temperature and/or RH probe may be added to this site within the next year to compliment the current 

measurements of wind speed and wind direction.

Except for the items mentioned above, ADEQ does not have any specific plans to make changes to the 

meteorological network, but may add additional meteorological equipment at existing SLAMS sites as resources 

permit. At this time, ADEQ plans to only submit meteorological data that are required by 40 CFR Part 58.16 to 

EPA’s AQS database. If future resources allow additional meteorological data submittals to the AQS database, 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 34
ADEQ may do so on a voluntary basis. A spatial representation of ADEQ’s meteorological monitoring network 

can be found in Appendix B.

5.0 Quality Assurance

To ensure high quality data are produced that meet the users’ needs, ADEQ sustains a “quality system” as 

required by EPA. The U.S. EPA primarily specifies the quality assurance (QA) requirements for operating 

SLAMS, SPM, CSN, NCore, NATTS, PAMS, and PSD air monitors in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix A, the Quality 

Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems: Volume II: Ambient Air Quality Monitoring 

Program, technical assurance documents (TADs), and other supporting guidance documents. In response, ADEQ 

develops quality assurance plans for air monitoring networks, which provide detailed information regarding the 

specifics of each air monitoring network and how data will be managed. Components of ADEQ’s quality system 

include, but are not limited to:

• ADEQ being established as the primary quality assurance organization (PQAO) for the criteria and noncriteria pollutant air monitoring data collected and reported to AQS.

• An agency-level Quality Management Plan (QMP), which is an “umbrella” document that details, in broad 

terms, the strategies used to carry out QA/QC in environmental data collection activities.

• Division-level quality assurance program plans (QAPPs) with supporting standard operating procedures 

(SOPs) for each major, ongoing air monitoring network. Each QAPP describes:

o Health effects of a specific pollutant and 

o Purpose for operating the monitoring station or network 

o Data quality objectives (DQOs) and/or measurement quality objectives (MQO) along with data 

quality indicators (DQIs) that specify the amount of tolerable error in the data using statistical 

metrics

 ADEQ’s precision and bias results from QC checks such as verifications and 

performance evaluation (PE) audits apply to ADEQ’s data only while some metrics 

obtained by the EPA National Performance Evaluation Program (NPEP) apply to a 

specific network at the nationwide level.

o Variety of regularly occurring quality control (QC) checks along with pass/fail criteria 

o Types of QA assessments and reports needed from the network,

o Data validation processes and data reporting requirements, 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 36
o Additional items such as preventative measures taken to reduce data loss, corrective actions, and 

document control and management.

In addition to QAPP requirements and/or recommendations from the U.S. EPA QA Office and/or OAQPS, the 

EPA Region 9 QA Office provides additional QAPP requirements for agencies under their jurisdiction that 

distinguish between the scope of a “program” versus “project” plan. As per EPA Region 9 guidance: 

o “Program Plans” describe major air monitoring networks that are essentially “permanent” with no 

known end dates, and

o “Project Plans” describe the specifications for special air monitoring projects of limited in scope 

and duration.

Per EPA Region 9 guidance, a draft comprehensive program plan was submitted to EPA Region 9 in November 

2001, but this document was never approved. This document provided a broad overview of all air monitoring 

programs AAS operates. This document is being replaced by individual program plans, which provide more 

details for each major air monitoring program, or network.

All environmental data operations (EDOs) contain some level of uncertainty or error. The total measure of 

uncertainty is the sum of measurement and population uncertainty. Measurement uncertainty relates to how 

accurately a pollutant’s concentration was measured, or sampled, and occurs during the data collection process. 

The measurement uncertainty among ADEQ stations monitoring for the same pollutant is expected to be 

reasonably homogeneous because such stations operate under a set of common factors needed to effectively 

operate as a PQAO. Common factors typically include:

• Stations being operated by a common team of field operators and according to a common set of field 

standard operating procedures (SOPs),

• Common calibration facilities and standards,

• Use of a common quality assurance program/project plan (QAPPs),

• Oversight by a common quality assurance organization, and

• Support by a common management, laboratory, or headquarters.

Population uncertainty relates to how well the measurements of a pollutant from a particular air monitoring 

station represent the population deemed at risk. Population uncertainty is kept within tolerable limits by 

establishing monitoring sites at the best possible location to achieve the monitoring objective. The annual network 

review helps to ensure air monitoring stations remain sited correctly and target the intended population.

5.1 ADEQ Quality Assurance Program and Project Plans

EPA requires PQAOs to update their QAPPs every five years so they remain current. For specific QA/QC 

information regarding pollutant measurements, please reference the appropriate QAPP for this information. 

ADEQ plans on using the pollutant-specific QAPPs for each parameter measured at the NCore station. 

For criteria pollutants, ADEQ has the following QAPPs in-place:

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 37
• A Final Pb QAPP that was approved by Region 9 in January 2013.

• A Final PM QAPP that was approved by Region 9 in August 2013.

o The EPA produces a QAPP for the Chemical Speciation Network (CSN) PM2.5 monitoring 

program and ADEQ plans on adding any supplemental PM speciation air monitoring information 

as an addendum in 2015.

• A Final O3, QAPP that was approved by EPA Region 9 in December 2013.

• A Final SO2QAPP that received condition approval by EPA Region 9 in December 2013. ADEQ has 

been addressing EPA’s comments on this document and the revised Final QAPP will be submitted for 

approval in May 2014. 

• A Final Draft NO2 QAPP was submitted to EPA Region 9 in March 2014 and approval is outstanding. 

• A Final Draft CO QAPP is near completion and will be submitted to EPA Region 9 in May or June 2014. 

For non-criteria pollutants, ADEQ has the following QAPPs in-place:

• A Final National Air Toxics Trends Stations (NATTS), (Urban) Air Toxics Monitoring Program 

(ATMP), & Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS) QAPP that was approved EPA 

Region 9 in February 2008.

o ADEQ is in the process of updating this QAPP and the plan is to separate it into two QAPPs: one 

for the air toxics network, and one for the PAMS network. ADEQ plan on submitting these 

revised QAPPs to EPA Region 9 in late 2014 and/or early 2015.

• ADEQ plans on developing a QAPP for the meteorological network and submit it for approval to EPA 

Region 9 in 2014.

For special projects, ADEQ does not have any active project plans in-place at this time. 

5.2 EPA QA Reports and Network Performance 

Periodically, EPA publishes reports for some of the criteria pollutant networks, and potentially non-criteria 

pollutant networks, that rate and/or rank monitoring organizations’ performance over a three year period. The QA 

Team, as well as other personnel in DM&QA, review these reports to gauge how well our networks are 

performing with those across the nation. If needed, corrective actions are taken to ensure data of the highest 

quality possible are collected. ADEQ is monitoring the PM2.5 network to see how it performs nationally based on 

the results published in the most recent EPA report, the 3-Year Quality Assurance Report Calendar Years 2005, 

2006, and 2007 The SLAMS PM2.5 Ambient Air Monitoring Program (February 2009).

Appendix C – Current Monitors by Program or Network

This appendix contains detailed information about monitors that are operated by ADEQ, or monitors that ADEQ 

has a strong association with (e.g. IMPROVE monitors). Only those monitors that are in operation at the time that 

this network plan was created are included in this appendix. Monitors that are proposed to be installed or those 

that were discontinued prior to the creation of this network plan are not included in this appendix. Since 

individual pollutants or networks have specific monitoring or siting criteria, this appendix was created so that 

siting criteria can be easily identified and evaluated throughout a program or network. See Appendix D for 

detailed information on specific monitoring sites.

Definitions for Appendix C – Current Monitors by Program or Network

Local Site Name Official name for the site as written in ADEQ’s AZURITE / AAAD database

Pollutant (POC) The pollutant(s) or parameter(s) being collected or measured at the site and the

POC is the Primary Occurrence Code for the instrument, as it is in ADEQ’s 

AZURITE / AAAD

Parameter code The AQS code representing a specific pollutant being measured or monitored

Basic monitoring objective Purpose of monitoring for the parameter at the site (Public Information, 

NAAQS Comparison, or Research)

Site type(s) A brief description of the intended purpose of the monitor’s measurements 

(Extreme Downwind, Highest Concentration, Max Ozone Concentration, Max 

Precursor Impact, Population Exposure, Source Oriented, Upwind 

Background, General / Background, Regional Transport, Welfare-Related 

Impacts, Quality Assurance, or Other)

Monitor type(s) The associated monitoring network for the monitor (IMPROVE, Index Site, 

Industrial, NATTS, NCore, Non-EPA Federal, PAMS, Proposed NCore, QA 

Collocated, SLAMS, Special Purpose, Supplemental Speciation, Trends 

Speciation, Tribal Monitor, Unofficial PAMS)

Instrument manufacturer and 

model

The specific make and model of the monitor or instrument used in the network

Method code The AQS code representing the particular method for collecting samples of the 

specified instrument

FRM/FEM/ARM/other Denotes if the instrument is a Federal Reference Method, Federal Equivalency 

Method, Approved Regional Method (for continuous PM2.5 only), or other 

according to the Federal Registry

Collecting Agency Name of agency collecting data

Analytical Lab (weight, 

toxics, other)

Name of laboratory performing sample analysis

Reporting Agency Name of agency reporting the data

Spatial scale (micro, 

neighborhood)

Area represented by an air quality monitor (microscale: 0 – 100 m, middle 

scale: 0.1 – 0.5 km, neighborhood: 0.5 – 4 km, urban: 4 – 50 km, regional: ~50 

– 500 km, or national/global)

Monitoring start date

(MM/DD/YYYY)

Date that the monitor was started at the site

Current sampling frequency 

(1:3, continuous)

Frequency the instrument collects samples or measurements (e.g. hourly, daily, 

1:3, 1:6, etc.)

Calculated sampling 

frequency (1:3 / 1:1)

Theoretical frequency for particular matter instrument based on Ratio to 

Standard Figure in 40CFR Part 58.12 (e.g. hourly, daily, 1:3, 1:6)

Sampling season (MM/DDMM/DD)Period that the instrument collects samples or measurements throughout a 

given year (expressed as a range of months)

Probe height (meters) Distance the probe is from the ground in meters (O3 and SO2 probes must be 

between 2 and 15 meters; others pollutants must be between 2 to 7 meters; 

meteorology typically 2 or 10 meters)

Distance from supporting 

structure (meters)

For rooftop probe(s) only. The separation distance is in reference to walls, 

parapets, or penthouses located on roof

Distance from obstructions 

on roof (meters)

Distance the instrument inlet is from the closest obstruction on the roof in 

meters (probes and inlets must be at least 1 meter from obstructions)

Distance from obstructions 

not on roof (meters)

Distance the instrument inlet is from the closest obstruction not on the roof in 

meters (probes and inlets must be at least 1 meter from obstructions)

Distance from trees (meters) Distance the instrument inlet is from the nearest tree in meters (must be a 

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 55
minimum of 10 meters from drip line)

Obstruction Height above 

Probe (meters)

Height the obstruction is above the inlet (distance from the obstruction to the 

inlet must be at least 2x the height that the obstacle protrudes above the inlet). 

Trees can be considered obstructions depending on density of foliage, 

therefore the same obstruction requirements apply to trees 

Tree Height above Probe 

(meters)

Height the tree is above the inlet. Trees that are within 10 meters of inlet may 

not cause issue if the tree height is at or below the inlet height. Furthermore, as 

trees grow they may become obstructions, therefore it is important to capture 

the height of trees 

Distance to furnace or 

incinerator flue (meters)

Distance the instrument inlet is from the nearest furnace or incinerator flue in 

meters (for Pb and SO2; designed to avoid undue influences from minor 

sources)

Distance between collocated 

monitors (meters)

Distance between the centers of collocated instruments in meters (must be 

between 1 and 4 meters)

Unrestricted airflow

(degrees)

Angular measure (in degrees) of the area around an instrument that is free from 

obstructions (minimum of 180°)

Restricted airflow (degrees) Direction the airflow is restricted in degrees as they are associated with the 

cardinal directions (i.e. 90o = E) (must not be in the direction of the prevailing 

winds)

Prevailing wind direction 

(degrees)

Direction the wind predominately comes from in degrees during the season of 

greatest pollutant concentration. Used to determine if restricted airflow is in 

the direction of the prevailing wind. 

Probe material for reactive 

gases

Type of material probe is made of (SO2, NO2, O3 must have FEP Teflon or 

borosilicate glass; PAMS and VOCs must be borosilicate glass or stainless 

steel)

Residence time for reactive 

gases (seconds)

Number of seconds it takes a sample of air to travel from the inlet to the 

instrument (reactive gases must be less than 20 seconds)

verification manual PM and 

Pb samplers

Frequency at which flow rate verifications occur for manual particulate matter

and lead instruments (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)

Frequency of flow rate 

verification automated PM 

analyzers

Frequency at which flow rate verifications occur for automated particulate

matter instrument (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)

Frequency of one-point QC

Deborah Jordan, Air Division Director

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9

75 Hawthorne Street

San Francisco, CA 94105

Subject: ADEQ Request for Siting Criteria Waiver

 JLG Supersite

Dear Ms. Jordan:

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is submitting the Arizona Air 

Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014. There is one site that does not meet the distance 

from the nearest road or distance from trees requirements as specified in 40 CFR Part 58 

Appendix E. This letter is to request EPA to waive the monitoring site requirements for the JLG 

Supersite.. Below is information that ADEQ has considered in the determination that this 

monitoring site is as representative as it would be if the siting criteria were being met.

JLG Supersite

The JLG Supersite was established in 1993 in a central Phoenix neighborhood. Today, after 21

years, the site remains largely the same. Monitors and inlets are located on the roof of the 

shelters, while temperature sensitive analyzers and data loggers are inside the air-conditioned

shelters. The neighboring houses remain largely the same except for the trees in the yards 

adjacent to the site. 

The required distance from trees to probe is >10 meters. There is now a tree drip line within 10 

meters on 1 sides of the site shelter. The PM10, PM2.5 (continuous and filter-based), Carbonyl, 

VOC, SVOC, and Pb inlets are <10 meters from the closest tree drip line. The SO2, O3, NO2, 

and CO inlets are currently exactly 10 meters from the closet tree drip line. This has the 

potential to be < 10 meters as the tree grows. The tree is located in the SSE direction from the 

inlet whereas the prevailing wind direction comes from the SW during the season of highest 

concentration (summer), therefore the tree has negligible impact on monitoring at the site. 

ADEQ has found that these monitor probes cannot reasonably be relocated so as to meet the 

siting criteria because of the physical constraints of the site. 
Page 2 of 2

The JLG Supersite has monitors for NAAQS (CO, NO2, O3, SO2, Pb, PM10, PM2.5), NCore, 

PAMS, NATTS, Toxics, IMPROVE, and meteorology. The cost of site relocation would be 

substantial. 

ADEQ has reviewed several options. Based on the long standing historical trends, the lack of 

cost benefit for moving the site, the constraints of the site for modification of the probes, the low 

ADT of the adjacent road, the prevailing wind direction coming from the SW, and that the 

probes locations are just shy of the required distances for trees, ADEQ is requesting a siting 

criteria waiver from EPA for the placement of the PM2.5 continuous PM2.5 filter-based, and PM10 

continuous, Carbonyl, VOC, SVOC, and Pb instruments located at JLG Supersite regarding the 

distance from tree line siting criteria listed in 40CFR Part 58 Appendix E.

We appreciate the effort by EPA in the review of this waiver request for air monitoring siting. If 

you have any questions, please contact Theresa Rigney at (602) 771-2274.

Sincerely,

Eric C. Massey, Director

Air Quality Division

Appendix G – Interagency Air Quality Monitoring for Arizona 

This appendix contains a proposed document between State and local air monitoring agencies in Arizona

to outline the responsibilities delineated to each agency. As it stands, this document is not in-place and 

has not been approved by each State or local agency. Each State or local agency will receive forthcoming

guidance from the EPA for this document in the following year after the 2014 Network Plan has been 

published. This is only intended for informational purposes and is included per the request of EPA 

Region 9.

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2014, Page 143
Interagency Air Quality Monitoring for the State of Arizona

Purpose:

40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D(e) states that “Full monitoring requirements apply separately to each 

affected State or local agency in the absence of an agreement between the affected agencies and the EPA 

Regional Administrator.” EPA Region 9 indicated in their response to the 2013 Network Plan that an 

interagency document should be in place to delineate the shared monitoring requirements by overlapping 

agencies. This document is to fulfill this CFR requirement, to clarify the monitoring requirements being 

met by each agency, and to support requirements for the monitoring networks in Arizona.

The following table outlines Minimum Monitoring Requirements in the State of Arizona as required in 40 

CFR 58 Appendix D. This does not take into account the breadth of monitoring that is required by the 

EPA Regional Administrator for the design of a complete monitoring program. Each State or local 

agency must work with the EPA Regional Administrator to develop a monitoring program for their area. 

This document illustrates the minimum monitoring requirements as outlined in Table 1 between all 

agencies in Arizona. Each agency is responsible for all other monitoring requirements not listed in Table 

1 as stated in 40 CFR Part 58 for their area. Each area is defined as a specific Metropolitan Statistical 

Area or as a State-wide area.
