2013 Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan 1 

# Introduction

Purpose

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized amendments to the ambient air monitoring regulations on October 17, 2006. 1 

## The amendments revise the technical requirements for certain types of ambient air monitoring sites, add provisions for monitoring of

PM
coarse 

## , and reduce certain mo nitoring requirements for criteria pollutants. Monitoring agencies are required to submit annual monitoring network plans, conduct network assessments every five years, perform quality assurance activities, and in certain instances, have NCore sites estab lish ed by January 1, 2011.

This plan was prepared and submitted as part of the fulfillment to these new regulations. It represents the Washoe County Health District - Air Quality Management Division’s (AQMD) ambient air monitoring program activities com pleted in 2012 and proposed network

modifications for 2013-2014.

Public Inspection Process

This monitoring network plan was available for public inspection from June 1 to June 30, 2013 at the AQMD website ( www.ourcleanair.com ). A hardcopy of the plan was also available at the AQMD office

.

# Overview of Washoe County Health District Network Operation

Network Design

The AQMD operated eight (8) ambient air monitoring sites i n 2012 (Figure 1). The red boundary delineates Hydrographic Area 87 (HA 87) as defined by the State of Nevada Division

of Water Resources and is currently designated as “serious” non- attainment for the 24-hour PM 10 

## NAAQS. 2

, 3 

## Washoe County is classified as “attainment” or “unclassifiable/attainment” for all other pollutants and averaging times. Table 1 lists the parameters monitored in 2012 sorted by network type and site.

Figure 1 Washoe County Health District

- AQMD Ambient Air Monitoring Sites

2 

### 40 CFR 81.329.

3 

### In July 2009, the AQMD submitted a SIP revision to EPA requesting redesignation of HA 87 to an

attainment/maintenance area for the 24

- hour PM 10 

### NAAQS. On April 19, 2011, EPA published a final rule (76 FR 21807) finding that 1) the Truckee Meadows failed to attain the NAAQS by the applicable date and 2) the Truckee Meadows is currently attaining the NAAQS based on recent monitoring data (2007

- 2009). The rule does not change

the “Serious” non

- attainment designation.

2013 Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan 4 Minimum Monitoring Requirements

The AQMD’s ambient air monitoring network meets the minimum monitoring requirements for all criteria pollutants pursuant to 40 CFR 58, Appendix D. The AQMD does not monitor for Lead due to there being no sources over 0.5 tons per year and a CBSA population less than 500,000. Additionally, the AQMD does not monitor for near- road NO 2 

## due to the CBSA population size

. Tables 2 through 8 provide pollutant specific monitoring requirements

. Additional pollutant specific data may be found in the “ Washoe County, Nevada, Air Quality Trends Report, 2003-2012” . The 2012 population data are from the Nevada State Demographer’s Office. 5

The following modifications to the ambient air monitoring network are proposed for 2013-2014.

SLAMS: All pollutants and meteorology (Galletti)

## (Sparks)

**•** Take the existing designated and collocated PM 10 

## Hi -Volume samplers offline. The removal of these samplers will complete the change from manual method to a continuous sampling frequency for PM 10 

## at all SLAMS sites. Meteorology (Toll, So. Reno, Plumb- Kit, Galletti and Sparks)

**•** Take the existing cup and vane sensors offline and install Met One 50.5H sonic

anemometers

.

NCore : Meteorology (Reno3)

**•** I nstall a new Met One 595 solar radiation sensor.

# Overview of Tribal Network Operations

Network Design

Two tribes operate ambient air monitoring networks within the geographic boundaries of Washoe County - The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony (RSIC) and Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (PLPT). Table 9 summarizes the tribal sites and parameters mon itored in 2012. Figure 2 shows the location of tribal lands for the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony and Figure 3 is a map showing the

locations of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribes’ monitoring sites. For additional detailed site

informatio n about the RSIC and PLPT monitoring networks including annual network plans, refer to the following contact information.

Galletti

The Galletti site is located southeast of the Interstate 80 - US Highway 395/Interstate 580 interchange in a commercial/industrial area. The Galletti site, which monitors PM 10 

## and CO, is heavily impacted by on-road vehicle emissions from interstate highways. The site typ e is to determine typical concentration s of CO and PM 10

The Sparks site is located on US Postal Service property at 750 Fourth Street . The site is surrounded by commercial property, a residential neighborhood and is adjacent to Dilworth Middle School. In 2007 the Sparks site was moved approximately 55 meters north of its previous location, due to tree growth affecting siting criteria. The site type is highest concentration for CO, PM 10
