FMC-Fairfield Evaluation Summary 

D FMC-Fairfield is located in one of the least populated areas in Baltimore 

City. 

D Nearby sites within 20-km radius of FMC-Fairfield should be sufficient to 

capture population exposure. 

D PM Fine monitoring network is well-represented if not over-crowded in 

Baltimore Metro. 

• CFR requires 3 FRM sites for a MSA > 1 Million People. 

• MDE has deployed 9 FRM sites- (including FMC-Fairfield) within the Baltimore 

MSA. 

• There are 6 other FRM monitors within 20-km radius of FMC-Fairfield. 

D Preliminary data for 2007 indicates that the FMC-Fairfield attains the 

annual PM Fine standard and violates the 24-hour PM Fine standard. 

D Preliminary data for 2007 indicates that the Southeast Police Station is 

the lead-monitor in the Baltimore MSA not the FMC-Fairfield site. 

Shutting down FMC-Fairfield air monitoring site due to the 

closure of the FMC facility won't affect MOE's ability to 

measure population exposure to PM Fine.
