RE: AQS Data Certification 

Dear Mr. Blumenfeld, 

Greg Stanley 

County Manager 

This letter constitutes certification of Pinal County's SLAMS and SPM monitoring data pursuant to 

40CFR 58.15. Our Annual Network Plan identifies those monitors that should be appropriately 

characterized as SLAMS and SPM monitors. 

We have entered into AQS 2013 data for all our FRM and FEM monitors. The accompanying AMP600 

report summarizes the data entered for calendar year 2013. Additionally, all the available quality 

assurance data associated with FRM and FEM monitors has been entered into AQS. 

Should you have any questions please call me at (520) 866-6960. 

Sincerely, 

Michael Sundblom 

Air Quality Director
