2014 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 monitoring 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 establish 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 completed in 2013 and proposed network modifications for 2014-2015.

Public Inspection Proces s

This monitoring network plan was available for public inspection from June 1 to June 30, 2014 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 2013 (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 tim es. Table 1 lists the parameters monitored in 2013 sorted by network type and site.

Figure 1 Washoe County Health District

- AQMD Ambient Air Monitoring Sites

### 40 CFR 81.329.

3 

### In July 2009, the AQMD submitted a SI P 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

- 200 9). The rule does not change the “Serious” non

- attainment designation.

2014 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 core

- based statistical area ( CBSA ) population less than 500,000. 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, 2004-

2013”

. The 2013 population data are from the Nevada State Demographer’s Office. 5

2014 Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan 5 Title 40 CFR 58, Appendix D, 4.7 requires PM 2.5 

## monitoring in MSAs with populations above 500,000 people and in MSAs with lower populations if measured PM 2.5 

## values for an MSA are within 85% of the NAAQS. Title 40 CFR 58, Appendix A, 3.2.5 requires 15 percent (at least 1) of the monitors be

collocated . The first collocated monitor must be a designated FRM monitor. AQMD meets this requirement by having the Primary PM 2.5 

## FEM monitor at the Reno 3 monitoring station collocated with

a PM 2.5 

## FRM sampler.

## monitoring requirements in MSAs based on population and design values. Title 40 CFR 58, Appendix A, 3.3.1 requires 15 percent (at least 1) of the manual method samplers be collocated. Being that AQMD only runs one manual method sampler for

the calculation of PM 10

## Monitors required for NCore: 1

Title 40 CFR 58, Appendix D, 4.4.2 requires an SO 2 

## monitoring network based on a calculated population weighted emissions index (PWEI). This index is calculated by multiplying the population of a CBSA with the emissions inventory (EI) data for counties within that CBSA. The calculated value is then divided by one million in order to obtain the PWEI value. PWEI monitoring requirements are as follows: 1) one monitor in CBSAs with a PWEI value greater than 5,000, 2) two monitors in CBSAs with a PWEI value greater than 100,000, and 3) three monitors in CBSA s with a PWEI value greater than 1,000,000. As shown in Table 8, AQMD used 2013 population data from the Nevada State Demographer’s Office and 2011 National Emissions Inventory data to determine that no additional SO 2 

## monitoring is required.

## data for record began submission to AQS in January 2013. Meteorology (Galletti, Plumb -Kit, South Reno, Sparks, Toll)

• Replaced the existing Met One 014A wind speed and 024A wind direction sensors with Met One 50.5H sonic anemometers. Will begin submitting data for record to AQS in January 2014.

NCore : Meteorology (Reno 3)

• The Vaisala WXT520 weather station (wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and precipitation) was replaced with a Met One 50.5H sonic anemometer to measure wind speed and direction, a YSI Series 700 probe for ambient

temperature , and Met One 083E sensor for relative humidity. Barometric pressure and relative humidity are no longer measured.

Speciation Trends:

• No modifications completed

.

Additional Modifications C ompleted in 2013

The following additional modifications were completed in 2013.

SLAMS : CO, O 3

2014 Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan 8 NCore :

• No modifications completed.

Speciation Trends and Special Purpose Monitor Networks : Special Purpose PM 2.5



## • A Met One Environmental Beta Attenuation Monitor ( EBAM ) was added to the network for special purpose and exceptional event monitoring of episodes such a s wild fires. The EBAM has been mounted to a trailer for ease of towing and deployment and is stored when not in use.

Network Modifications Proposed for 2014-2015

The follo wing modifications to the ambient air monitoring network are proposed for 2014-2015.

SLAMS: All pollutants and meteorology (Galletti)

• Relocate entire Galletti monitoring site

. The reason for relocating this site is to move the shelter away from trees that are less than 10 meters from the monitoring probe and inlets. CO (South Reno)

• Take existing CO analyzer offline and discontinue monitoring for CO at South Reno monitoring station. A formal letter stating this proposal will be submitted prior to follow t he 40 CFR 58.14

criteria.

O 3 

## (Lemmon Valley, South Reno, Sparks)

• Replace existing TAPI 400E O 3 

## analyzers with new TAPI T400 analyzers as part of AQMD’s

ten

NCore : Meteorology (Reno3)

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

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 2013. 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.
