Introduction to the 2011 Ambient Air Monitoring Plan for Tennessee

The State of Tennessee is required to evaluate the ambient air monitoring network each year in accordance with the 

requirements specified in 40 CFR Subpart B 58.10. The requirements that must be met in the annual evaluation are 

included as follows:

§ 58.10 Annual monitoring network plan and periodic network assessment. 

(a)

(1) Beginning July 1, 2007, the State, or where applicable local, agency shall adopt and submit to the Regional 

Administrator an annual monitoring network plan which shall provide for the establishment and 

maintenance of an air quality surveillance system that consists of a network of SLAMS monitoring stations 

including FRM, FEM, and ARM monitors that are part of SLAMS, NCore stations, STN stations, State 

speciation stations, SPM stations, and/or, in serious, severe and extreme ozone nonattainment areas, PAMS 

stations, and SPM monitoring stations. The plan shall include a statement of purposes for each monitor and 

evidence that siting and operation of each monitor meets the requirements of appendices A, C, D, and E of 

this part, where applicable. The annual monitoring network plan must be made available for public 

inspection for at least 30 days prior to submission to EPA. 

(2) Any annual monitoring network plan that proposes SLAMS network modifications including new 

monitoring sites is subject to the approval of the EPA Regional Administrator, who shall provide 

opportunity for public comment and shall approve or disapprove the plan and schedule within 120 days. If 

the State or local agency has already provided a public comment opportunity on its plan and has made no 

changes subsequent to that comment opportunity, and has submitted the received comments together with 

the plan, the Regional Administrator is not required to provide a separate opportunity for comment. 

(3) The plan for establishing required NCore multipollutant stations shall be submitted to the Administrator not 

later than July 1, 2009. The plan shall provide for all required stations to be operational by January 1, 2011. 

(4) A plan for establishing Pb monitoring sites in accordance with the requirements of appendix D to this part 

shall be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator no later than July 1, 2009 as part of the annual 

network plan required in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. The plan shall provide for the required sourceoriented Pb monitoring sites to be operational by January 1, 2010, and for all required non-source-oriented 

Pb monitoring sites to be operational by January 1, 2011. Specific site locations for the sites to be 

operational by January 1, 2011 are not required as part of the July 1, 2009 annual network plan, but shall be 

included in the annual network plan due to be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator on July 1, 2010. 

(5) A plan for establishing NO2 monitoring sites in accordance with the requirements of appendix D to this part 

shall be submitted to the Administrator by July 1, 2012. The plan shall provide for all required monitoring 

stations to be operational by January 1, 2013. 

(6) A plan for establishing SO2 monitoring sites in accordance with the requirements of appendix D to this part 

shall be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator by July 1, 2011 as part of the annual network plan 

required in paragraph (a) (1). The plan shall provide for all required SO2 monitoring sites to be operational 

by January 1, 2013. 

(b) The annual monitoring network plan must contain the following information for each existing and proposed site: 

(1) The AQS site identification number. 

(2) The location, including street address and geographical coordinates. 

(3) The sampling and analysis method( s) for each measured parameter. 

(4) The operating schedules for each monitor.

(5) Any proposals to remove or move a monitoring station within a period of 18 months following plan 

submittal. 

(6) The monitoring objective and spatial scale of representativeness for each monitor as defined in appendix D 

to this part. 

(7) The identification of any sites that are suitable and sites that are not suitable for comparison against the 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS as described in § 58.30. 
4

(8) The MSA, CBSA, CSA or other area represented by the monitor. 

(9) The designation of any Pb monitors as either source-oriented or non source- oriented according to Appendix 

D to 40 CFR part 58. 

(10) Any source-oriented monitors for which a waiver has been requested or granted by the EPA Regional 

Administrator as allowed for under paragraph 4.5(a)(ii) of Appendix D to 40 CFR part 58. 

(11) Any source-oriented or non source- oriented site for which a waiver has been requested or granted by the 

EPA Regional Administrator for the use of Pb-PM10 monitoring in lieu of Pb-TSP monitoring as allowed 

for under paragraph 2.10 of Appendix C to 40 CFR part 58. 

(12) The identification of required NO2 monitors as either near-road or area-wide sites in accordance with 

appendix D, section 4.3 of this part. 

(c) The annual monitoring network plan must document how States 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, 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 appendix N to part 50 of this 

chapter. The affected State or local agency must document the process for obtaining public comment and include 

any comments received through the public notification process within their submitted plan. 

(d) The State, or where applicable local, agency shall perform and submit to the EPA Regional Administrator an 

assessment of the air quality surveillance system every 5 years to determine, at a minimum, if the network meets the 

monitoring objectives defined in appendix D to this part, whether new sites are needed, whether existing sites are 

no longer needed and can be terminated, and whether new technologies are appropriate for incorporation into the 

ambient air monitoring network. The network assessment must consider the ability of existing and proposed sites to 

support air quality characterization for areas with relatively high populations of susceptible individuals (e.g., 

children with asthma), and, for any sites that are being proposed for discontinuance, the effect on data users other 

than the agency itself, such as nearby States and Tribes or health effects studies. For PM2.5, the assessment also 

must identify needed changes to population-oriented sites. The State, or where applicable local, agency must submit 

a copy of this 5- year assessment, along with a revised annual network plan, to the Regional Administrator. The 

first assessment is due July 1, 2010. 

(e) All proposed additions and discontinuations of SLAMS monitors in annual monitoring network plans and periodic 

network assessments are subject to approval according to § 58.14. [71 FR 61298, Oct. 17, 2006, as amended at 72 

FR 32210, June 12, 2007; 73 FR 67059, Nov. 12, 2008; 73 FR 77517, Dec. 19, 2008; 75 FR 6534, Feb. 9, 2010]

The draft plan that is presented in the following pages will address each of the requirements specified in the CFR. An 

overview of the geography, general climate, wind patterns and population trends are included to provide background 

information that will assist the reader in understanding the current air monitoring network and reasons for placement 

of the existing monitoring sites. The actual regulatory requirements that specify the number and placement of air 

monitoring sites is found in 40 CFR 58. The sections that provide this guidance are also included in the report as a 

reference to help better understand the actual monitoring needs in a given area.

In many instances, the ―areas‖ for which monitoring is required are based on population criteria in which population 

must be considered to allow for monitoring in the areas where populations may be affected or exposed to the various 

criteria pollutants of concern. Additional monitoring sites are needed to address areas where source related emission 

density may be elevated and also impact communities in the same area. Other considerations must also be addressed 

when selecting and operating air monitoring sites. The local influences of some types of sources (roadway dust or 

emissions) may be factors that require monitoring sites to be spaced certain distances from those sources or in the 

case or near-road or roadway monitoring activities, the monitors must be located very close to the potential sources of 

mobile emissions.

The principal areas in Tennessee with air monitoring sites are depicted with a graphic showing the locations for each 

of the monitoring sites. The sites are further identified with a site number, an AQSID and the types of pollutants 

being monitored for at each location. Tables containing the relevant information for each site are also included. The 

tables are provided in two sections following the location graphic and have been condensed and combined from the 
5

previous year’s format so that all relevant information can be found within each areas section of the report and 

relieves the reader from searching tables at the end of the report for information about a given site.

A separate section is provided to discuss the NCORE monitoring requirements and the two NCORE sites selected to 

operate in Tennessee.

Each of the four local programs operating air monitoring networks in Tennessee have also provided separate annual 

reviews which have been included as attachments to this report. Where revisions were noted in the local networks, 

similar revisions were added to the states overall plan.

The recent changes in the NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standards) have resulted in a need to evaluate 

additional air monitoring in order to comply with the new standards. In some cases (SO2, NO2 and Lead) the 

revisions to the standard was augmented with revisions to the monitoring requirements. Some of the necessary 

changes to the monitoring networks have been completed while others are being planned for implementation. 

Additional changes to the existing ozone monitoring networks are anticipated after EPA finalizes the proposed 

revisions to the ozone standard (potentially lower than 0.075 ppm 8 hour average). Additional changes to both the 

number and placement of existing and new SO2 and NO2 monitoring sites are under consideration. Additional lead 

monitoring sites may also be needed to meet the new source related monitoring requirements finalized for lead.

Tennessee Geographic Regions and Descriptions

In order to have a more meaningful understanding of its different land patterns and variations, geographers and 

geologists have divided the State into nine natural regions or physiographic provinces. From west to east (see 

map of Natural Regions of Tennessee) these are the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, West Tennessee Plain, West 

Tennessee Uplands, Western Highland Rim, Central Basin, Eastern Highland Rim, Cumberland Plateau, Valley 

and Ridge, and Unaka Mountains.

MISSISSIPPI ALLUVIAL VALLEY

The Mississippi Alluvial Valley, situated along the State’s western border, is a relatively narrow strip of land 

that varies from 5 to 20 miles in width and is oriented in a north to south direction. Covering an area of only 57 

square miles, it is the smallest of the State’s natural regions. The western boundary of the region is the 

Mississippi River; the eastern boundary is the Chickasaw Bluffs of the West Tennessee Plain. Although six 

counties have some area in the region, only Lake County is found entirely within he Mississippi Alluvial 

Valley. The average elevation of this floodplain region is 235 feet, although it may be as high as 290 feet in 

Lake County and as low as 185 feet in Shelby County.

WEST TENNESSEE PLAIN

The West Tennessee Plain has an area of 7731 square miles and is the second largest physiograph province in 

the State. This plain is 45 to 65 miles wide and is bounded on the west by the Chickasaw Bluffs. The eastern 

boundary follows the drainage divided between the Mississippi River and the Western Valley of the Tennessee 

River. Eighteen of the State’s counties are either completely or partially situated in the West Tennessee Plain. 

The topography of the West Tennessee Plain is a relatively flat terrain that slopes gently westward to the 

Mississippi River floodplain. Elevations of 450 feet are found on West Tennessee Plain’s eastern side and 

around 280 feet on the west. Relief in most areas is less than 200 feet. 

WEST TENNESSEE UPLANDS

The West Tennessee Uplands, the second smallest physiographic province in the State, occupies an area of 1928 

square miles. The drainage divided between the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers forms the region’s western 

boundary, while the eastern boundary is marked by the Tennessee River. The width of this upland region is 15 

to 45 miles and covers parts of seven of the State’s counties. Although it is not considered a rugged region, the 

West Tennessee Uplands has greater relief and contrast than the West Tennessee Plain. Broad expanses of 

undulating plains are found here. The average elevation of this upland province is 700 feet with relief varying 

from 100 to 300 feet.

HIGHLAND RIM

The Highland Rim, covering an area of 10,572 square miles, is the largest physiographic province in Tennessee. 

It extends from the Tennessee River in the west to the western escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau in the 

east. A large part of the Highland Rim’s center has been eroded out by the Cumberland River, forming the 

large, oval-shaped Central Basin. The presence of Central basin, as well as the Highland Rim being relatively 

narrow in the State’s north and south borders, has led to the dividing of the Highland Rim into western and 

eastern divisions. The Western Highland Rim is the larger of the two, with an area of 6566 square miles. 

Together, these divisions account for area in 39 of the State’s counties. The Western Highland Rim varies from 

25 to 45 miles in width and consists of a rolling terrain heavily dissected by stream erosion. Elevations on the 

Western Highland Rim’s tableland range from 800 to 1000 feet, while relief varies from 100 to 200 feet. The 
7

Eastern Highland Rim averages 25 miles in width and has an elevation of 900 to 1100 feet. The topography is 

comprised of an undulating tableland of low relief with widely scattered hills and knobs.

CENTRAL BASIN

The Central Basin, also known as the Nashville basin, is a larger pear-shaped area occupying much of the 

geographic center of the State. The area has a total of 5851 square miles, measures 65 miles east to west and 95 

miles north to south. With the exception of the valley of the Cumberland River at its northern corners, the 

central Basin is entirely surrounded by the Highland Rim. Wilson, Rutherford, and Marshall Counties are 

situated entirely within the Basin; parts of 23 other counties are also found there. Differences in typography 

have caused the Central Basin to sometime be divided into two different regions. Large areas of the region’s 

geographic center are known as The Inner Basin. This topography is extremely level and has an average 

elevation of 650 feet. Relief in most areas is less than 50 feet. Relief in most areas is less than 50 feet. The 

few hills and knobs that rise above the landscape are commonly less than 100 feet in height. The Outer Basin 

includes the rest of the province and is comprised of an undulating, hilly type topography. Numerous hills and 

ridges mark the landscape and are especially prominent at the outer edge. The average elevation in this part of 

the basin is 750 feet, but may vary as much as 250 feet.

CUMBERLAND PLATEAU

Covering an area of 2980 square miles, the Cumberland Plateau is an elevated tableland bounded on the west by 

the Eastern Highland Rim and on the east by the Valley and Ridge. The greatest width, 75 miles, is near the 

Kentucky border. At its most southern point in the State, the Cumberland Plateau is about 35 miles in width. 

Five of the State’s counties are entirely within the region, while another 17 counties are situated partially in this 

area. The Cumberland Plateau’s topography varies in different parts of the region. In places, the surface has 

been cut by stream valleys and precipitous gorges that are 200 to 400 feet deep. The tableland part of the 

Cumberland Plateau has an average elevation of 1800 feet. The elevations are generally lower in the northern 

part at 1700 to 1900 feet. Far to the south in Marion and Hamilton Counties, the elevations are somewhat 

higher, around 2000 to 2100 feet. Relief varies from as little as 100 feet to as much as 400 feet.

VALLEY AND RIDGE

The Valley and Ridge covers 7703 square miles and is situated between the Cumberland Plateau to the west and 

the Unaka Mountains to the east. The width of the region ranges from as much as 70 miles along the Kentucky 

border to as little as 30 miles near the Georgia State Line. In most places, it averages 45 miles in width. 

Twenty-seven counties of Tennessee are either completely or partially found in this Valley and Ridge region. 

The topography of the Valley and Ridge consists of long linear ridges and parallel lowland valleys that trend in 

a northeast to southwest direction. The ridges usually have high elevations of 1100 to 1500 feet while the 

adjacent valley floors vary from 700 feet to 1000 feet. The ridges and valleys generally have high elevations in 

the northern part of the region; they are slightly less elevated to the south.

UNAKA MOUNTAINS

Covering an area of 2523 square miles, the Unaka Mountains region is the most eastern physiographic province 

in Tennessee and extended along its entire eastern border adjacent to North Carolina. The width of the region 

varies from 5 to 25 miles. Although 13 counties have part of their land area within the region, Johnson County 

is the only on having all of its area completely within the region. The Unaka Mountains region is known for 

having the highest and most rugged terrain in Tennessee. Lofty mountainous ridges and peaks, heavily forested 

and deeply carved by precipitous stream valleys, comprise the topography. The highest point, in both the region 

and the State, is Clingman’s Dome (6643 ft) in Sevier County. In addition to Clingman’s Dome, there are 13 

other mountain peaks in the Unakas with heights of over 6000 feet and 33 peaks of more than 5000 feet. A very 
8

large percentage of those peaks are situated directly on the Tennessee State Line, with the greatest concentration 

found in Sevier County. Narrow lowland valleys and isolated coves are also a part of the topography of the 

region. The floors of these topographic features range from 1000 to 2000 feet in elevation.

Climate Synopsis for Tennessee

The highly varied topography of Tennessee has a significant impact on the state's climate. The landscape varies 

generally from west to east, starting with the gently rolling lowlands (200-600' above sea level) in the west, 

rising to the Highland Rim (600-1000') enclosing the Central Basin, and on up to the Cumberland Plateau 

(~2000') which trends northeast-southwest across the state in a belt 30-50 miles wide. East of the Plateau is the 

Great Valley of East Tennessee (elevations ranging from 1500' in the north down to 700' in the south) 

containing a series of northeast-southwest ridges. The eastern border of the state is dominated by the Great 

Smoky Mountains, with numerous peaks rising 4000' to 6000' above sea level.

Average annual temperature across the state range from around 55F to a bit over 60F. Winter mean 

temperatures are near 35F over most of the state, while summer temperatures average between 75F and 80F. Of 

course, these general patterns are affected by topography: the higher mountain areas tend to have milder 

summers as well as colder, more blustery winters. The length of the growing season is also linked to 

topography: most of the state has a growing season between 180 and 220 days, but this stretches to over 235 

days in the lowlands around Memphis and drops to near 130 days in the highest mountains to the east.

The principal source of moisture for the state is the Gulf of Mexico to the south, which results in a gradual 

decrease of precipitation from south to north. This gradient is largely obscured, however, by orographic effects. 

In West Tennessee, annual precipitation amounts range from 46 inches to 54 inches, increasing from the 

Mississippi bottomlands to the slight hills farther east. In Middle Tennessee, the variation is from around 45 

inches in the Central Basin to 50-55 inches• in the surrounding Highland Rim. The Cumberland Plateau also 

averages 50-55 inches• per year. In the Great Valley of Eastern Tennessee, annual precipitation rises from a 

minimum of 40 inches• in the north (the driest part of the state due to the rain shadow effect of the Great

Smoky Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau) to over 50 inches in the south. The mountainous eastern border 

of the state is the wettest part, with annual totals of up to 80 inches in the higher, well-exposed peaks.

Over most of the state, the greatest precipitation occurs in winter and early spring owing to the more frequent 

passage of large-scale (frontal) storms over the region. A secondary maximum of precipitation occurs in 

midsummer in response to shower and thunderstorm activity, especially in July in the mountains of the east. 

Fall tends to be the dry season for the state, due to the higher frequency of slow-moving high pressure areas 

during this season. Average annual snowfall ranges from 4-6 inches in the south and west to over 10 inches in 

the east. Due to the relatively mild winter conditions over most of the state, snow cover rarely persists for more 

than a few days.

Severe storms are relatively infrequent in the state, being east of the center of tornado activity, south of most 

blizzard conditions, and too far inland to be often affected by hurricanes. An average of 11 tornadoes are 

observed in the state each year, mostly confined to areas west of the Cumberland Plateau. Hailstorms at a given 

location are observed 2 or 3 times a year, and damaging glaze storms occur in the state every 5 or 6 years. 

Thunderstorms are frequent in the warm season, and severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are 

experienced at scattered locations throughout the state each year.

The Purpose of Tennessee’s Ambient Air Monitoring Network

There are several criteria that are used for determining the need for ambient air quality 

monitoring. Some of the criteria are as follows:

EPA National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) Criteria pollutant monitoring 

network requirements for the NCore (National Core) formally NAMS (National Air 

Monitoring Site), SLAMS (State and Local Air Monitoring Site) and SPM (Special Purpose 

Monitoring) monitoring networks.

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sets forth as regulations the requirements for air 

quality monitoring to be implemented by the states and EPA. These requirements are 

primarily organized around population and emission density in a given area with the number 

of required monitors and the distribution of the monitors within the networks specified by 

these regulations. Additionally 40CFR, Part 58, Appendix D specifies criteria that must be 

followed in designing the NCore and SLAMS networks. The EPA must approve design 

and/or modifications to these networks.

Additional federal regulations also specify requirements for Prevention of Significant 

Deterioration (PSD) monitoring networks. This monitoring is addressed at new facilities to 

be constructed in a given area or around certain types of existing industry such as large coal 

fired power plants or facilities that release toxic heavy metals such as lead to the 

environment.

Air quality monitoring is required to be conducted to alert citizens in given areas to elevated 

levels of air pollutants in cities or communities of designated population levels that are 

required to provide Air Quality Index (AQI) reports to the general public.

Air quality monitoring is conducted to address the need for background air quality data and 

to provide needed air quality data that is used in industrial recruitment efforts with the

monitoring areas periodically rotated to new locations throughout the state on a routine basis.

Special air quality monitoring studies are conducted based on identified needs for monitoring 

data in a given area.

Citizen complaints and enforcement investigations related to air quality are other reasons for 

air quality monitoring usually in or around a specific area related to the complaint or 

investigation.

Requests from citizens for special air monitoring studies are also a reason for air monitoring 

activities.
17

The federal regulations also specify the frequency, method, location requirements, 

equipment, quality assurance procedures and reporting of data collected from the ambient air 

monitoring networks.

Note: The NAAQS for ozone was revised by EPA March 12, 2008 to 0.075 PPM. There were no regulatory 

changes made to the network monitoring requirements at that time. 

On January 6, 2010 EPA proposed strengthening the 8-hour “primary” ozone standard, to a level within the 

range of 0.060-0.070 parts per million (ppm). EPA also proposed to establish a distinct cumulative, seasonal 

“secondary” standard within the range of 7-15 ppm-hours. EPA proposed in July 2009 to modify the ozone air 

quality monitoring network design requirements for urban areas with populations between 50,000 and 350,000 

people operate at least one ozone monitor and that states be required to operate at least three ozone monitors in 

non-urban areas. However, these regulations have not yet been finalized by the EPA. When the rules become 

final Tennessee will redesign its ozone monitoring network in accordance with the regulations.

appendix. At least one required continuous analyzer in each MSA must be collocated with one of the required 

FRM/FEM/ARM monitors, unless at least one of the required FRM/FEM/ARM monitors is itself a continuous FEM or 

ARM monitor in which case no collocation requirement applies. State and local air monitoring agencies must use 

methodologies and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures approved by the EPA Regional Administrator 

for these required continuous analyzers.

4.7.3 Requirement for PM2.5 Background and Transport Sites. Each State shall install and operate at least one PM2.5 

site to monitor for regional background and at least one PM2.5 site to monitor regional transport.

Population Weighted Emissions Index (PWEI) Calcuations - May 2011 - Using 2009 Census Estimates & 2008 NEI v1.5 (no fires included)

4.4 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Design Criteria.

4.4.1 General Requirements. (a) State and, where appropriate, local agencies must operate a minimum number of 

required SO2 monitoring sites as described below.

4.4.2 Requirement for Monitoring by the Population Weighted Emissions Index. (a) The population weighted emissions 

index (PWEI) shall be calculated by States for each core based statistical area (CBSA) they contain or share with another 

State or States for use in the implementation of or adjustment to the SO2 monitoring network. The PWEI shall be 

calculated by multiplying the population of each CBSA, using the most current census data or estimates, and the total 

amount of SO2 in tons per year emitted within the CBSA area, using an aggregate of the most recent county level 

emissions data available in the National Emissions Inventory for each county in each CBSA. The resulting product shall 

be divided by one million, providing a PWEI value, the units of which are million persons-tons per year. For any CBSA 

with a calculated PWEI value equal to or greater than 1,000,000, a minimum of three SO2 monitors are required within 

that CBSA. For any CBSA with a calculated PWEI value equal to or greater than 100,000, but less than 1,000,000, a 

minimum of two SO2 monitors are required within that CBSA. For any CBSA with a calculated PWEI value equal to or 

greater than 5,000, but less than 100,000, a minimum of one SO2 monitor is required within that CBSA.

(1) The SO2 monitoring site(s) required as a result of the calculated PWEI in each CBSA shall satisfy minimum 

monitoring requirements if the monitor is sited within the boundaries of the parent CBSA and is one of the following site 

types (as defined in section 1.1.1 of this appendix): population exposure, highest concentration, source impacts, general 

background, or regional transport. SO2 monitors at NCore stations may satisfy minimum monitoring requirements if that 

monitor is located within a CBSA with minimally required monitors under this part. Any monitor that is sited outside of 

a CBSA with minimum monitoring requirements to assess the highest concentration resulting from the impact of

significant sources or source categories existing within that CBSA shall be allowed to count towards minimum 

monitoring requirements for that CBSA.

4.4.3 Regional Administrator Required

Monitoring. (a) The Regional Administrator may require additional SO2 monitoring stations above the minimum number 

of monitors required in 4.4.2 of this part, where the minimum monitoring requirements are not sufficient to meet 

monitoring objectives. The Regional Administrator may require, at his/her discretion, additional monitors in situations 

where an area has the potential to have concentrations that may violate or contribute to the violation of the NAAQS, in

areas impacted by sources which are not conducive to modeling, or in locations with susceptible and vulnerable 

populations, which are not monitored under the minimum monitoring provisions described above. The Regional 

Administrator and the responsible State or local air monitoring agency shall work together to design and/or maintain the

most appropriate SO2 network to provide sufficient data to meet monitoring objectives

4.4.5 NCore Monitoring. 
21

(a) SO2 measurementare included within the NCore multipollutant site requirements as described in paragraph (3)(b) of 

this appendix. NCorebased SO2 measurements are primarily used to characterize SO2 trends and assist in understanding

SO2 transport across representative areas in urban or rural locations and are also used for comparison with the SO2

NAAQS. SO2 monitors at NCore sites that exist in CBSAs with minimum monitoring requirements per section 4.4.2 

above shall be allowed to count towards those minimum monitoring requirements.

On June 2, 2010, EPA strengthened the primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for sulfur 

dioxide (SO2). EPA is revising the primary SO2 standard by establishing a new 1-hour standard at a level of 75 

parts per billion (ppb). The Agency is revoking the two existing primary standards of 140 ppb evaluated over 24-

hours, and 30 ppb evaluated over an entire year because they will not add additional public health protection 

given a 1-hour standard at 75 ppb. EPA is also revising the ambient air monitoring requirements for SO2. States 

will need to make adjustments to the existing monitoring network in order to ensure that monitors meeting the 

network design regulations for the new 1-hour SO2 standard are sited and operational by January 1, 2013. EPA 

plans to use refined dispersion modeling to determine if areas with sources that have the potential to cause or 

contribute to a violation of the new SO2 standard can comply with the standard.

The final monitoring regulations require monitors to be placed in Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) based on 

a population weighted emissions index for the area. The final rule requires:

3 monitors in CBSAs with index values of 1,000,000 or more;

2 monitors in CBSAs with index values less than 1,000,000 but greater than 100,000; and

1 monitor in CBSAs with index values greater than 5,000.

NO2 monitoring network requirements

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2010

4.3.2 Requirement for Near-road NO2 Monitors

(a) Within the NO2 network, there must be one microscale near-road NO2 monitoring station in each CBSA 

with a population of 500,000 or more persons to monitor a location of expected maximum hourly 

concentrations sited near a major road with high AADT counts as specified in paragraph 4.3.2(a)(1) of this 

appendix. An additional near-road NO2 monitoring station is required for any CBSA with a population of 

2,500,000 persons or more, or in any CBSA with a population of 500,000 or more persons that has one or more 

roadway segments with 250,000 or greater AADT counts to monitor a second location of expected maximum 

hourly concentrations. CBSA populations shall be based on the latest available census figures.

4.3.3 Requirement for Area-wide NO2 Monitoring (a) Within the NO2 network, there must be one monitoring 

station in each CBSA with a population of 1,000,000 or more persons to monitor a location of expected highest 

NO2 concentrations representing the neighborhood or larger spatial scales. PAMS sites collecting NO2 data that 

are situated in an area of expected high NO2 concentrations at the neighborhood or larger spatial scale may be

used to satisfy this minimum monitoring requirement when the NO2 monitor is operated year round. Emission 

inventories and meteorological analysis should be used to identify the appropriate locations within a CBSA for

locating required area-wide NO2 monitoring stations. CBSA populations shall be based on the latest available 

census figures.

EPA announced on January 22, 2010 the final revisions to the NO2 NAAQS. EPA added a new Primary1-hour 

NO2 standard at 100 ppb (parts per billion). EPA chose to retain the current Primary and Secondary standards 

and to revise the AQI for NO2 to incorporate the new 1-hour standard. Additional monitors will also be 

required to be placed in areas with vulnerable populations susceptible to NO2 health related effects. These 

additional monitors would be required to be operational before January 1, 2013 if the EPA proposal is adopted in 

its current form.

Lead monitoring network requirements
22

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2010

4.5 Lead (Pb) Design Criteria. Lead (Pb) Design Criteria. 

(a) State and, where appropriate, local agencies are required to conduct ambient air Pb monitoring taking into 

account Pb sources which are expected to or have been shown to contribute to a maximum Pb concentration in 

ambient air in excess of the NAAQS, the potential for population exposure, and logistics. At a minimum, there 

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

resulting from each Pb source which emits 0.5 or more tons per year based on either the most recent National 

Emission Inventory (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ eiinformation.html) or other scientifically justifiable methods 

and data (such as improved emissions factors or site-specific data) taking into account logistics and the potential 

for population exposure.

(i) One monitor may be used to meet the requirement in paragraph 4.5(a) for all sources involved when 

the location of the maximum Pb concentration due to one Pb source is expected to also be impacted by 

Pb emissions from a nearby source (or multiple sources). This monitor must be sited, taking into 

account logistics and the potential for population exposure, where the Pb concentration from all 

sources combined is expected to be at its maximum.

(ii) The Regional Administrator may waive the requirement in paragraph 4.5(a) for monitoring near Pb 

sources if the State or, where appropriate, local agency can demonstrate the Pb source will not 

contribute to a maximum Pb concentration in ambient air in excess of 50% of the NAAQS (based on 

historical monitoring data, modeling, or other means). The waiver must be renewed once every 5 years 

as part of the network assessment required under 58.10(d).

(b) State and, where appropriate, local agencies are required to conduct Pb monitoring in each CBSA with a 

population equal to or greater than 500,000 people as determined by the latest available census figures. At a 

minimum, there must be one non-source-oriented SLAMS site located to measure neighborhood scale Pb

concentrations in urban areas impacted by re-entrained dust from roadways, closed industrial sources which 

previously were significant sources of Pb, hazardous waste sites, construction and demolition projects, or other 

fugitive dust sources of Pb.

On December 14, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the ambient monitoring 

requirements for measuring lead (Pb) in the air. These amendments expand the nation’s lead monitoring network 

to better assess compliance with the revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for lead issued in 

2008. EPA is changing the emission threshold that state monitoring agencies must use to determine if an air 

quality monitor should be placed near an industrial facility that emits lead. The new emission threshold is 0.5 tons 

per year (tpy), reduced from the previous threshold of 1.0 tpy. Any new monitors located near an emissions 

source must be operational no later than one year after this rule is published in the Federal Register. EPA is 

maintaining a 1.0 tpy lead emission threshold for airports. EPA is also requiring lead monitoring in large urban 

areas (Core Based Statistical Areas, or CBSAs, with a population of 500,000 people or more). Monitors will be 

located along with multi-pollutant ambient monitoring sites (known as the “NCore network”). Lead monitoring at 

these sites will begin January 1, 2012. The NCore network will consist of approximately 80 monitoring sites, of 

which 63 will be in large urban areas. The requirement to add these monitors replaces an existing requirement to 

place lead monitors in each CBSA with a population of 500,000 or more people. 

Tennessee has already identified an area not meeting the new standard and has implemented monitoring at the 

source. Additional evaluations are underway to identify all 0.5 ton sources for potential monitoring.

CO monitoring network requirements

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2010

4.2 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Design Criteria.

(a) There are no minimum requirements for the number of CO monitoring sites. Continued operation of existing 

SLAMS CO sites using FRM or FEM is required until discontinuation is approved by the EPA Regional 

Administrator. Where SLAMS CO monitoring is ongoing, at least one site must be a maximum concentration 

site for that area under investigation.
23

On January 28, 2011, EPA proposed to retain the existing National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 

carbon monoxide (CO). EPA is proposing changes to the ambient air monitoring requirements for CO. EPA is 

proposing to require co-location of these CO monitors with a subset of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), monitors that are 

required, as part of the January, 2010 revision to the NAAQS for NO2. Specifically, EPA is proposing to require 

the colocation with “near-road” NO2 monitors in urban areas having populations of 1 million or more. EPA is 

proposing that the required CO monitors would be operating by January 1, 2013. EPA is also proposing that 

EPA Regional Administrators would have the authority to require additional monitoring in case-by-case 

circumstances, such as in areas impacted by major stationary CO sources, in urban downtown areas or urban 

street canyons, or in areas adversely impacted by meteorological and/or topographical influences.

Index reporting requirements

40 CFR 58 Subpart F, 58.50 Revised as of July 1, 2010

§ 58.50 Index reporting.

NCore monitoring network requirements and PM 10-2.5

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2010

3. Design Criteria for NCore Sites

(a) Each State (i.e. the fifty States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) is required to operate 

at least one NCore site. States may delegate this requirement to a local agency. States with many MSAs often 

also have multiple air sheds with unique characteristics and, often, elevated air pollution. These States include, 

at a minimum, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and 

Texas. These States are required to identify one to two additional NCore sites in order to account for their 

unique situations. These additional sites shall be located to avoid proximity to large emission sources. Any 

State or local agency can propose additional candidate NCore sites or modifications to these requirements for 

approval by the Administrator. The Ncore locations should be leveraged with other multipollutant air 

monitoring sites including PAMS sites, National Air Toxics Trends Stations (NATTS) sites, CASTNET sites, 

and STN sites. Site leveraging includes using the same monitoring platform and equipment to meet the 

objectives of the variety of programs where possible and advantageous.
24

(b) The NCore sites must measure, at a minimum, PM2.5 particle mass using continuous and integrated/filter-based 

samplers, speciated PM2.5, PM10–2.5 particle mass, speciated PM10–2.5, O3, SO2, CO, NO/NOy, wind 

speed, wind direction, relative humidity, and ambient temperature.

(1) Although the measurement of NOy is required in support of a number of monitoring objectives, available

commercial instruments may indicate little difference in their measurement of NOy compared to the 

conventional measurement of NOX, particularly in areas with relatively fresh sources of nitrogen 

emissions. Therefore, in areas with negligible expected difference between NOy and NOX measured 

concentrations, the Administrator may allow for waivers that permit NOX monitoring to be substituted for 

the required NOy monitoring at applicable NCore sites.

(2) EPA recognizes that, in some cases, the physical location of the NCore site may not be suitable for 

representative meteorological measurements due to the site’s physical surroundings. It is also possible that 

nearby meteorological measurements may be able to fulfill this data need. In these cases, the requirement 

for meteorological monitoring can be waived by the Administrator.

(c) In addition to the continuous measurements listed above, 10 of the Ncore locations must also measure lead (Pb) 

either at the same sites or elsewhere within the MSA/CSA boundary. These ten Pb sites are included within the 

NCore networks because they are intended to be long-term in operation, and not impacted directly from a 

single Pb source. These locations for Pb monitoring must be located in the most populated MSA/CSA in each 

of the 10 EPA Regions. Alternatively, it is also acceptable to use the Pb concentration data provided at urban 

air toxics sites. In approving any substitutions, the Administrator must consider whether these alternative sites 

are suitable for collecting long-term lead trends data for the broader area.

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2010

4.8.1 General Monitoring Requirements.

(a) The only required monitors for PM10-2.5 are those required at NCore Stations.

4.8.2 PM10–2.5 Chemical Speciation Site Requirements.

PM10–2.5 chemical speciation monitoring and analyses is required at NCore sites. The selection and modification of 

these sites must be approved by the Administrator. Samples must be collected using the monitoring methods and the 

sampling schedules approved by the Administrator.

Tennessee’s primary NCore site will be located in Memphis, Tennessee. See the following pages for details on the

proposed location of the site. In addition to the Memphis NCore site, the EPA has designated the Look Rock air 

monitoring station in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as an NCore rural-type site. This site is

operated in cooperation with the National Park Service, Tennessee Valley Authority, and the State of Tennessee. 

The following pages identify the Memphis NCore site and the Look Rock NCore equivalent-type site.

National Core (NCore) Multi-pollutant Monitoring Stations

In 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) amended its national air quality monitoring requirements. 

The changes will help EPA, states, tribes and local air quality agencies improve public health protection and better 

inform the public about air quality in their communities. EPA and the states will add about 75 multi-pollutant monitoring 

stations around the country, as part of a National Core (NCore) network. Memphis and Shelby County has been selected 

as an NCore site location. With this selection, the Memphis and Shelby County Health Department (MSCHD) is faced 

with the unique challenge of finding a suitable site, which would meet EPA’s siting criteria.

Under the new requirements, air quality regulators will be able to take advantage of improvements in monitoring 

technologies. The changes will affect monitoring for six common pollutants known as "criteria pollutants" and their 

precursors. The six pollutants are: ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, particle 

pollution (also called particulate matter) and lead. EPA’s siting criteria for NCore monitoring networks ensure that 

monitors are concentrated in areas with air quality problems, where monitoring is most critical. Monitoring multiple 

pollutants at the same site will help EPA improve air quality management by enhancing the Agency's ability to model 

and forecast air pollution. The sites also will provide real-time data for some pollutants, including particle pollution and 

ground- level ozone. 

By requiring that these monitors be co-located, EPA will have the ability to examine the effects of multiple air pollutants 

on health and the environment. 

Siting

The NCore sites placement (siting) criteria is extensive, requiring certain distances from interstates and major roadways. 

It is the opinion of the MSCHD that no existing air monitoring site will meet siting requirements. The proposed Haley 

Road site is located on property owned by Shelby County Government and is located within the Memphis city limits. 

This location should meet all the criteria established by EPA. The site is located in Shelby Farms, area 10, adjacent to the 

Shelby County gas station on Haley road. 

The coordinates are: 

Latitude 35.15159 N

Longitude 89.85022 W

Elevation 287 ft.

The ―NCore Readiness Self-Assessment‖ forms along with photographs in 8 cardinal directions have been submitted to 

EPA.

Official EPA approval was granted on August 26, 2009. Since this will not be an existing site, 

greater monitoring resources will be needed toward new capital purchases (site preparations, new 

building, new monitors, etc.) and costs cannot be covered through divestment-reinvestments of 

resources alone.

Monitoring Objective

Determine compliance with NAAQS; observe pollution trends for national data analysis, provide pollution levels for 

daily index reporting; and provide data for scientific studies.

Area of Representativeness

40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D provides design criteria for ambient air monitoring. The monitoring objective for the NCore site 

is to produce data that represents a fairly large area and therefore the spatial scale of the site is important. The spatial scale 

defines the physical dimensions of the air parcel nearest to a monitoring site throughout which actual pollutant concentrations 

are reasonably similar. It is determined by the characteristics of the area surrounding the air monitoring site and the site’s 

distance from nearby air pollution sources such as roadways, factories, etc. In the case of urban NCore the spatial scales to be 

used are neighborhood and urban. Table 2 shows the area of representativeness for each pollutant for the Haley Road site.

Spatial Scales for Each Pollutant

Ozone Neighborhood and Urban Scale

NOx Neighborhood and Urban Scale

28

The placement of the NCore site east of the urban core provides the best location for measuring 

transport and secondary pollutant formation from that area. And, the placement of the Haley Road 

site downwind of the more industrialized areas compliments the existing network, which is primarily 

designed to measure maximum concentration on a neighborhood scale. 
29

As can be seen from the citywide view above, the proposed NCore site is located East of the urban 

core and North East of the heavier industrialized areas of the metro area.

Area of Representativeness

40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D provides design criteria for ambient air monitoring. In the case of urban NCore the spatial scales 

to be used are neighborhood and urban. Because the Look Rock site is located in a pristine high elevation area, it is 

understood that the site is ideally suited for both background and transport related measurements..

Need For Additional Resources

All parties agree that the collaboration between the National Park Service, TVA and the State of Tennessee at the Look 

Rock sampling site has produced an extraordinarily diverse and in-depth air quality record and that the bulk of this data 

set has been validated and reported to the U.S. EPA AQS repository. However, under the present piecemeal funding by 

the various agencies, there is no assurance that this will continue at the site for the longer term needed for monitoring 

compliance with the PM NAAQS and with the regional haze rule (RHR). What is needed is a long-term commitment by 

EPA to coordinate the operation of this and other sites to maintain quality and relevance in the NCore network over the 

long term. This commitment should commence by the 2011 time frame when NCore sites are expected to become fully 

operational.

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

There are no plans to relocate or shutdown any existing monitoring sites in the MSA area described.

The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors is under consideration. No lead monitors are anticipated to be established as there are no sources emitting 0.5 TPY of 

lead. No additional SO2 monitors are anticipated to be required to be established. The proposed requirement for CO monitors to be collocated with the near road NO2 

monitors has not been finalized. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by re-location of existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require 

additional resources for both equipment and operational expenses.

1The Memphis and Shelby County Health Department and the states of Arkansas and Mississippi have implemented a joint MOA that provides for meeting the MSA 

monitoring requirements for the combined MSA area. See Appendix 2 for the monitoring agreement. 

2 Includes collocated monitor. 3 Monitor located at Shelby Farms NCore 

site. There is also an NO2 monitor located in Marion, Arkansas just to the northwest of downtown Memphis.

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

One additional ozone monitor was added at the NCORE site to increase the total number of ozone monitors operated to 3. The Sharpe School 47-157-0014 PM2.5 monitor was 

relocated to the NCORE site on Feb. 21, 2011 after approval from EPA.

The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors is under consideration. No lead monitors are anticipated to be established as there are no sources emitting 0.5 TPY of 

lead. No additional SO2 monitors are anticipated to be required to be established at this time. The NCORE site is projected to include a lead monitor. The proposed

requirement for CO monitors to be collocated with the near road NO2 monitors has not been finalized. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by re-location of 

existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment and operational expenses.

1 Includes collocated monitor. 

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

The collocated PM2.5 monitor at site 47-093-1017 was relocated to site 47-093-0028 on April 11, 2011 with EPA’s approval. This collocated sampler will operate on a 6-day 

schedule.

Due to new developments the lead monitor located near Ameristeel is no longer positioned to measure maximum lead concentrations at the fence line of the source. Agency is 

working with EPA Region 4 to identify an acceptable monitoring site. The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors and the proposed requirement for CO monitors 

to be collocated with the near road NO2 monitors has not been finalized. An SO2 monitoring site is needed to be established to meet the PWEI requirements. Although an 

SO2 monitor is operating at the NCORE site, it may not meet the PWEI requirements. If not, a new monitoring site will be established to meet the January 1, 2013 monitoring 

deadline.

The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by re-location of existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment 

and operational expenses.

1 Includes collocated monitor.

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

There are plans to relocate the Eastside Utility District 47-065-4003 ozone monitoring site to a new location preferably within a 1 mile radius of the existing site before the start 

of the 2012 ozone monitoring season. This is due to continued difficulty in access to the site because of security gates.

The POC 2 PM2.5 sampler was shut down at site 47-065-0031 in Jan. 2010.

No lead or SO2 monitors are anticipated to be required to be established. The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors is under consideration. The proposed 

requirement for CO monitors to be collocated with the near road NO2 monitors has not been finalized. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by re-location of 

existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment and operational expenses.

1The two ozone sites in the Kingsport-Bristol MSA should be sufficient to assess ozone levels in the Johnson City MSA. 2Historical PM10 data does not reflect a need for 

PM10 monitoring in this area. 3PM2.5 monitoring in the Kingsport-Bristol MSA should be sufficient to assess PM 2.5 levels in the Johnson City MSA. 4 Includes collocated 

monitor. 

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

There are no plans to relocate or shutdown any existing monitoring sites in the MSA area described. 

The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors, PWEI required SO2 monitors and Lead monitoring sites at sources emitting 0.5 TPY of lead is under consideration. 

The proposed requirement for CO monitors to be collocated with the near road NO2 monitors has not been finalized. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by 

re-location of existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment and operational expenses.

State of Kentucky operates an ozone site in Christian County, Kentucky. See Appendix 1 for MSA monitoring agreement prepared by Kentucky for ozone monitoring. 2State 

of Tennessee operates a continuous PM2.5 monitor in Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee. See Appendix 1 for MSA monitoring agreement prepared by Tennessee for 

continuous PM2.5 monitoring. 3Includes collocated monitor. 

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

There are no plans to relocate or shutdown any existing monitoring sites in the MSA area described. 

An additional SO2 monitor may need to be operated in this area based on the PWEI index. The need for additional SO2 monitoring sites may be met by re-location of existing 

network sites or by approval of existing industrial sites for use. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment and operational expenses.

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

Trees are encroaching on the PM-10 monitoring site. Historical data reveal very low levels of PM-10 particulate at this site. Staff will evaluate the feasibility of continuing site 

by the end of 2011.

The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors, PWEI required SO2 monitors and Lead monitoring sites at sources emitting 0.5 TPY of lead is under consideration. 

The proposed requirement for CO monitors to be collocated with the near road NO2 monitors has not been finalized. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by

1Tennessee operates an ozone site on the Meigs/Bradley County line. 2 Includes collocated monitor.

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

There are no plans to relocate or shutdown any existing monitoring sites in the MSA area described. 

The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors, PWEI required SO2 monitors and Lead monitoring sites at sources emitting 0.5 TPY of lead is under consideration. 

The proposed requirement for CO monitors to be collocated with the near road NO2 monitors has not been finalized. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by 

re-location of existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment and operational expenses.

Discussions of any proposals to re-locate monitors in the next 18 months and suitability of PM2.5 sites for use in comparisons to the annual 

PM2.5 standard:

A number of the monitoring sites identified in the Roane County area are being operated to monitor clean-up activities that are on-going in and around the Kingston TVA 

facility. The duration of monitoring and types of monitors may change over time and are not considered to be part of the regulatory monitoring network required to be operated 

for comparisons to the NAAQS.

Additional monitoring sites are operated in areas outside of the CBSA/MSA areas to help establish background air quality levels and to help define the air quality for those 

areas less densely populated outside of the metropolitan areas.

The TEOM POC 3 PM2.5 particulate monitors and the speciation POC 5 STN monitors are generally not suited to be used for comparisons to the annual PM2.5 standards.

There are no plans to relocate or shutdown any existing monitoring sites in the areas described.

The need to establish additional NO2 near road monitors, PWEI required SO2 monitors and Lead monitoring sites at sources emitting 0.5 TPY of lead is under consideration. 

The proposed requirement for CO monitors to be collocated with the near road NO2 monitors has not been finalized. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by 

re-location of existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment and operational expenses.

East Ridge Site Collocated for 2009

The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau’s East Ridge PM2.5 

monitoring site (470650031) located at the U.S. Post Office, 1510 Maxwell Road, was 

moved to a temporary site on November 20, 2007, at 1517 Tombras Avenue behind East 

Ridge City Hall. The site was moved to a more desirable permanent site January 1, 2009, at 

the same address. Both the temporary and the permanent monitors were operated as daily 

collocated monitors about 110 feet apart from January 1, 2009, through January 17, 2010, for 

a comparison demonstration between the two data sets. After the complete 2009 collocated 

daily data set indicated excellent correlation, EPA recognized the temporary site data as 

being representative of the area in a letter dated February 25, 2010. 

East Ridge Monitoring Schedule Change

Daily monitoring changed to three-day monitoring at the Tombras Avenue site (470650031) 

on January 17, 2010, with EPA concurrence. Daily monitoring is no longer required 

because Hamilton County is in attainment for the daily PM2.5 standard, and the data is not 

within 5% of the standard. 

Soddy Daisy PM2.5/Ozone Module Moved

The Bureau was informed by the Hamilton County School System in March, 2009, that the 

Soddy Daisy High School PM2.5/ozone module (470651011), located in a field behind the 

school, must be moved. At that time the Hamilton County Department of Education 

anticipated starting work immediately on a new softball field, and the location of the module 

interfered with the proposed location of the field. The school system offered a new location 

approximately 100 feet from the original site. The move occurred on May 20, 2009, and it 

was coordinated so that there was minimal ozone data loss due to power interruptions. The 

construction project began about May 6, 2010, and continued through the end of 2010 into 

2011. PM2.5 data for October 17, 2010, was extremely high (66.5 μg/m3), due to extensive 

grading, heavy equipment use, and parking lot and road building next to the site. The data 

was dramatically higher than any location that monitors with a Federal Reference Monitor 

(FRM) in the United States for that day. An exceptional event concurrent flag was requested 

from EPA in a letter to the Region 4 Administrator, Ms. Gwen Keyes Fleming, dated April 

15, 2011. Ozone was also affected by the project on September 1, 2010. Both dates are 

flagged in AQS for the respective pollutants.

Carbon Monitor Added

As part of the third phase of EPA’s carbon monitoring program, a URG 3000 carbon monitor 

was added to the 911 Siskin Drive site (470654002) October 1, 2009, to monitor in 

conjunction with the Met One SuperSASS PM2.5 speciation monitor.

Attainment

Hamilton County PM2.5 sites’ data are indicating attainment for the three-year periods of 

2006-2008, 2007-2009, and 2008-2010. PM2.5 levels were extremely low for 2008, 2009, 

and 2010 across the region. Local pollution reduction measures have been aggressive since 

2005. Also, sulfate scrubbers were activated in 2008 by Georgia Power’s nearby Bowen and 

Hammond Plants.

Site Changes for 2011

No lead or SO2 monitoring will be required in Hamilton County for the recently promulgated 

lead and SO2 regulations. Hamilton County anticipates, at some point in the future,

participating in the Core-Based Statistical Area near-road monitoring for NO2 in conjunction 

with the recently promulgated NO2 regulations. 

The Eastside Utility ozone monitor 470654003 on the Volunteer Army Ammunition Property 

has become more and more difficult to access as security has tightened at that site. The water 

utility has an electronic gate access for which our agency originally was given an access

code. Our agency no longer has an access code, and we must rely on personnel of the water 

utility to let us in electronically. The utility is expanding significantly at that location, and it 

seems a prudent time to plan to move the site. Scouting is being done to try to find a 

desirable location within a mile radius, and we anticipate moving the site before the 2012 

ozone season. If a suitable location within a mile radius is not found, we may seek an 

alternate location or request to discontinue the monitoring site.

Ambient Air Monitoring Plan

2011

Metro Public Health Department

Pollution Control Division 

Nashville, Tennessee

Draft Plan

March 22, 2011
1

1. The Purpose of the Nashville/Davidson County Ambient Air Monitoring Network 

There are several criteria that are used for determining the need for ambient air quality monitoring. Some of the criteria are as follows: 

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) sets forth as regulations the requirements for air quality monitoring to be implemented 

by the states and EPA. These requirements are primarily organized around population and emission density in a given area 

with the number of required monitors and the distribution of the monitors within the networks specified by these regulations. 

The EPA must approve design and/or modifications to these networks. The federal regulations also specify the frequency, 

method, location requirements, equipment, quality assurance procedures and reporting of data collected from the ambient air 

monitoring networks.

 

Air quality monitoring is required to be conducted to alert citizens of possible elevated levels of air pollutants in cities or 

communities of designated population levels and to provide Air Quality Index (AQI) reports of the current air quality to the 

general public. Air quality monitoring is conducted to address the need for background air quality data and to provide needed 

air quality data that is used in evaluating healthy environmental conditions in Nashville and Davidson County.

Special air quality monitoring studies are conducted based on identified needs for monitoring data in a given area. Citizen 

complaints and enforcement investigations related to air quality are other reasons for air quality monitoring usually in or 

around a specific area related to the complaint or investigation. Requests from citizens for special air monitoring studies are 

also a reason for air monitoring activities.

The Metropolitan Public Health Department, Pollution Control Division (MPHDPCD) Nashville, Tennessee evaluates its monitoring 

network annually to account for any necessary changes which may involve the addition, discontinuation, revision, or modification of a 

monitoring site within the network. We have examined each air monitoring site and have evaluated each accordingly to the 

requirements and provisions of the new regulations in CFR 40, Parts 50, 53, and 58. We have concluded that the number and location 

of the air monitors in our network contribute by the best means, to provide sufficient air quality data and reliable information to the 

public.

2. Monitoring Network Requirements 

2.1 Ozone Monitoring Network Requirements:

 40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2009

 (1) Minimum monitoring requirements apply to the Metropolitan statistical area (MSA). 

 (2) Population based on latest available census figures. 

 (3) The ozone (O3) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) levels and forms are defined in 40 CFR part 50. 

 (4) These minimum monitoring requirements apply in the absence of a design value. 

 (5) Metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) must contain an urbanized area of 50,000 or more population

Note: The NAAQS for ozone was revised by EPA March 12, 2008 to 0.075 PPM. There were no regulatory changes made to the 

network monitoring requirements at that time. On January 6, 2010 EPA proposed strengthening the 8-hour “primary” ozone 

standard, to a level within the range of 0.060-0.070 parts per million (ppm). EPA also proposed to establish a distinct 

cumulative, seasonal “secondary” standard within the range of 7-15 ppm-hours. EPA proposed in July 2009 to modify the 

ozone air quality monitoring network design requirements for urban areas with populations between 50,000 and 350,000 

people, to operate at least one ozone monitor and that states will be required to operate at least three ozone monitors in nonurban areas. However, these regulations have not yet been finalized by the EPA. When the rules become final, Nashville will 

review its ozone monitoring network in accordance with the regulations.

 (2) Population based on latest available census figures. 

 (3) The PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) levels and forms are defined in 40 CFR part 50. 

 (4) These minimum monitoring requirements apply in the absence of a design value. 

 (5) Metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) must contain an urbanized area of 50,000 or more population.

Requirement for Continuous PM2.5 Monitoring; The State, or where appropriate, local agencies must operate continuous PM2.5 

analyzers equal to at least one-half (round up) the minimum required sites listed in Table D-5 of this appendix. At least one required 

continuous analyzer in each MSA must be collocated with one of the required FRM/FEM/ARM monitors, unless at least one of the 

required FRM/FEM/ARM monitors is itself a continuous FEM or ARM monitor in which case no collocation requirement applies. State 

and local air monitoring agencies must use methodologies and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures approved by the 

EPA Regional Administrator for these required continuous analyzers.

Requirement for PM2.5 Background and Transport Sites; Each State shall install and operate at least one PM2.5 site to monitor for 

regional background and at least one PM2.5 site to monitor regional transport. 

PM2.5 Chemical Speciation Site Requirements; Each State shall continue to conduct chemical speciation monitoring and analyses at 

sites designated to be part of the PM2.5 Speciation Trends Network (STN). The selection and modification of these STN sites must be 

approved by the Administrator.

2.3 PM 10 Monitoring Network Requirements:

(2) High concentration areas are those for which ambient PM10 data show ambient concentrations exceeding the PM10 NAAQS by 20 percent or more. 

(3) Medium concentration areas are those for which ambient PM10 data show ambient concentrations exceeding 80 percent of the PM10 NAAQS. 

(4) Low concentration areas are those for which ambient PM10 data show ambient concentrations less than 80 percent of the PM10 NAAQS. 

(5) These minimum monitoring requirements apply in the absence of a design value.

2.4 SO2 Monitoring Network Requirements: 

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2009 

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Design Criteria:

(a) There are no minimum requirements for the number of SO2 monitoring sites. Continued operation of existing SLAMS SO2 sites 

using FRM or FEM is required until discontinuation is approved by the EPA Regional Administrator. Where SLAMS SO2 monitoring is 

ongoing, at least one of the SLAMS SO2 sites must be a maximum concentration site for that specific area. 

EPA announced on 11/16/2009 proposals to revise the annual and 24 hour primary NAAQS and replace both with a new 1-

hour SO2 standard. The existing secondary standard is under review. Additional SO2 monitoring sites are expected to be 

added to existing monitoring networks to increase the number of monitors in the Core Based Statistical Areas. Increased 

monitoring would also be required in states based on their contribution to national SO2 emissions and additional 

monitoring may be required in areas where gaps exist in network coverage. The new monitors would be required to be 

operational by 2013 if the EPA proposal is adopted in its current form.

SO2 monitoring that is required under the population-weighted emission index (PWEI) calculations requires MPHDPCD to operate one 

(1) SO2 monitor. MPHDPCD currently operates one SO2 monitor which has been approved by EPA to meet the SO2 monitoring 

requirement.

2.5 NO2 Monitoring Network Requirements:

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2009 

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Design Criteria:

 a) There are no minimum requirements for the number of NO2 monitoring sites. Continued operation of existing SLAMS NO2 sites 

using FRM or FEM is required until discontinuation is approved by the EPA Regional Administrator. Where SLAMS NO2 

monitoring is ongoing, at least one NO2 site in the area must be located to measure the maximum concentration of NO2. 

EPA announced on January 22, 2010 the final revisions to the NO2 NAAQS. EPA added a new Primary1-hour NO2 standard at

100 ppb (parts per billion). EPA chose to retain the current Primary and Secondary standards and to revise the AQI for NO2 to

incorporate the new 1-hour standard. EPA also revised the monitoring requirements and will now require monitoring near 

roads in areas with populations greater than 500,000. Additional monitors will be required in urban areas near major roads 

with populations greater than or equal to 1,000,000 to assess community wide concentrations and an additional monitor for 

areas with populations greater than or equal to 2,500,000 also near roads or having road segments with annual average 

vehicle daily traffic counts greater than or equal to 250,000 vehicles. Additional monitors will also be required to be placed in 

areas with vulnerable populations susceptible to NO2 health related effects. These additional monitors would be required to 

be operational before January 1, 2013 if the EPA proposal is adopted in its current form.

2.6 Lead (Pb++) Monitoring Network Requirements: 

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2009

Lead (Pb) Design Criteria:

 (a) State and, where appropriate, local agencies are required to conduct ambient air Pb monitoring taking into account Pb sources 

which are expected to or have been shown to contribute to a maximum Pb concentration in ambient air in excess of the NAAQS, 

the potential for population exposure, and logistics. At a minimum, there must be one source-oriented SLAMS site located to 

measure the maximum Pb concentration in ambient air resulting from each Pb source which emits 1.0 or more tons per year based 

on either the most recent National Emission Inventory (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ eiinformation.html) or other scientifically 

justifiable methods and data (such as improved emissions factors or site-specific data) taking into account logistics and the 

potential for population exposure. 

 (i) One monitor may be used to meet the requirement in paragraph 4.5(a) for all sources involved when the location of the 

maximum Pb concentration due to one Pb source is expected to also be impacted by Pb emissions from a nearby source (or 

multiple sources). This monitor must be sited, taking into account logistics and the potential for population exposure, where the 

Pb concentration from all sources combined is expected to be at its maximum. 

 (ii) The Regional Administrator may waive the requirement in paragraph 4.5(a) for monitoring near Pb sources if the State or,

where appropriate, local agency can demonstrate the Pb source will not contribute to a maximum Pb concentration in ambient 

air in excess of 50% of the NAAQS (based on historical monitoring data, modeling, or other means). The waiver must be 

renewed once every 5 years as part of the network assessment required under 58.10(d)
4

(b) State and, where appropriate, local agencies are required to conduct Pb monitoring in each CBSA with a population equal to or 

greater than 500,000 people as determined by the latest available census figures. At a minimum, there must be one non-sourceoriented SLAMS site located to measure neighborhood scale Pb concentrations in urban areas impacted by re-entrained dust from 

roadways, closed industrial sources which previously were significant sources of Pb, hazardous waste sites, construction and 

demolition projects, or other fugitive dust sources of Pb.

EPA announced on October 15, 2008 the final revisions to the Lead NAAQS. EPA added a new Primary standard of 0.15 ug/m3 

as a running 3 month average. The initial number of lead monitors to be added to the network was to be based on source 

emissions of 1 or more tons of lead. EPA is reconsidering the initial 1 ton threshold and instead is considering areas with 

sources emitting 0.5 tons as triggering the source oriented monitoring requirements. Because Nashville/Davidson County has 

no sources that generate lead emissions of 0.5 ton/year, and in accordance to the provisions designated in the EPA CFR, 

November 12, 2008 Final Rule for Lead, the MPHDPCD is not required and therefore will not participate in any source-oriented 

lead monitoring for FY2010

2.7 CO Monitoring Network Requirements:

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2009 

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Design Criteria: 

(a) There are no minimum requirements for the number of CO monitoring sites. Continued operation of existing SLAMS CO sites using 

FRM or FEM is required until discontinuation is approved by the EPA Regional Administrator. Where SLAMS CO monitoring is 

ongoing, at least one site must be a maximum concentration site for that area under investigation. 

2.8 Air Quality Index (AQI) Reporting Requirements:

40 CFR 58 Subpart F, 58.50 Revised as of July 1, 2009

Index Reporting Criteria:

 (a) The State or where applicable, local agency shall report to the general public on a daily basis through prominent notice a air quality 

index that complies with the requirements of appendix G to this part. 

 (b) Reporting is required for all individual MSA with a population exceeding 350,000. 

 (c) The population of a MSA for purposes of index reporting is the most recent decennial U.S. census population.

2.9 Nashville’s Interpretation of Compliance to Ambient Air Monitor Requirements:

The monitoring network is evaluated annually to account for any necessary changes which may involve the addition, 

discontinuation, revision, or modification of a monitoring site within the network. We have examined each air monitoring 

site and have evaluated each accordingly to the requirements and provisions of the new regulations in CFR 40, Parts 50, 

53, and 58. We have concluded that the number and location of the air monitors in our network contribute by the best 

means, to provide sufficient air quality data and reliable information to the public. 

The following tables and maps represent the current monitor network description for Nashville/Davidson County and the Nashville Core 

Based Statistical Area (CBSA).Table 5 represents the number of monitors required by 40 CFR part 58 and the number currently 

operated within the Nashville CBSA. Table 7 represents the most current evaluation of MPHPCD’s ambient air monitoring network. 

From this information we have concluded that the number of monitoring sites, the designated monitoring methods, and the 

primary monitoring objectives sufficiently comply with the regulations and guidance as set by EPA.
