# Background information

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ambient air quality surveillance

regulations (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 58 (40 CFR Part 58)) require states to

establish air quality surveillance systems in their State Implementation Plans (SIPs). An air

quality surveillance system consists of a network of State and Local Air Monitoring Stations

(SLAMS). These stations measure ambient concentrations of those air pollutants for which 40

CFR Part 50 sets standards.



# Monitoring network requirements

SLAMS must meet requirements of 40 CFR Part 58 contained in:

• Appendix A (Quality Assurance Requirements)

• Appendix C (Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology)

• Ap pendix D (Network Design Criteria)

• Appendix E (Probe and Path Siting Criteria)

States determine if they conform to Appendices A and C in part through periodic systems and

performance audits (per Section 2.4 of Appendix A). States conform to Appendices D and E by

conducting an annual network review of their air quality surveillance systems (per 40 CFR

58.20(d)). The annual network review:

• Determines if an ambient air quality monitoring network is achieving its required air

monitoring objectives

• Identif ies changes to the network needed to enable an organization to meet its

objectives



# Using monitoring data

Ecology uses its air monitoring data to:

• Determine compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

• Determine maximum pollutant con centrations

• Forecast air quality

• Evaluate the effectiveness of air pollution control programs

• Evaluate the effects of air pollution on public health

• Track the progress of SIPS

• Support dispersion models

• Determine air quality trends

• Develop responsible and c ost- effective pollution control strategies

• Analyze pollution episodes

• Assist with permitting work11 

# Introduction

The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 58 (40 CFR Part 58) contains the federal Environmental

Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) ambient air quality surveillance regulations. Section 58.20 requires states

to establish air quality surveillance systems in their State Implementation Plans (SIPs). The air quality

surveillance system consists of a network of designated State and Local Air Moni toring stations

(SLAMS). These stations measure ambient concentrations of those air pollutants for which standards

exist in 40 CFR Part 50 and Part 58, Appendices A (Quality Assurance Requirements), C (Ambient Air

Quality Monitoring Methodology), D (Network Design Criteria) and E (Probe and Path Siting Criteria).

States determine compliance with Appendices A and C in part through periodic systems and

performance audits (per Section 2.4 of Appendix A). States comply with Appendices D and E by

conducting an annual network review of their air quality surveillance systems (per 40 CFR 58.20(d)).

The annual network review determines if the network achieved its required air monitoring objectives

and if it should be modified (e.g., termination, relocation or establishment of monitoring stations) to

meet those objectives. The main purpose of this review is to ensure that an ambient air quality

monitoring network collects adequate, representative, and useful air quality data on which to base policy

decisions. The ambient air quality data from Ecology’s network is used for a variety of

purposes, including:

• Determining compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

• Determining the location of maximum pollutant concentrations

• Determining the ef fectiveness of air pollution control programs

• Evaluating the effects of air pollution on public health

• Tracking the progress of SIPS

• Supporting dispersion models

• Developing responsible, cost- effective, control strategies

• Developing air quality trends

• Analy ze pollution episodes

• Assist with permitting work12 

# Regulatory Requirements & Other Data Needs

Appendix D Requirements

Appendix D of 40 CFR 58 describes concepts for designing the SLAMS network. It addresses

monitoring objectives and the criteria for selecting the location and number of air monitoring stations.

The concepts and guidance in Appendix D, as well as other non-regulatory EPA data needs, should be

considered when evaluating the adequacy of the SLAMS network.



## Monitoring Objectives and Spatial Scales

Appendix D calls for the design of SLAMS networks to meet a minimum of six basic objectives:

(1) Determine the highest pollutant concentrations expected in the area covered by the network

(2) Determine representative pollutant concentrations in areas of high population density

(3) Determine the impact of significant sources or source categories on pollutant concentrations in

the ambient air

(4) Determine general background pollutant concentrations

(5) Determine the regional extent of pollutant transport bet ween populated areas

(6) Determine the impacts (e.g., visibility impairment, vegetation effects) in more rural and remote

areas on the secondary (i.e., welfare) standards

SLAMS networks are designed to provide data for meeting the monitoring objectives descri bed above

and to assist EPA and states in solving environmental problems.

Appendix D also provides guidance on spatial scales of representativeness for stations in a SLAMS

network (Table 1). Ideally, the monitor is located so that its sample represents t he air quality over the

entire area that the monitoring station is intended to represent (Table 2).

## Number of State and Local Air Monitoring Stations

Appendix D to 40 CFR Part 58 does not contain criteria for determining the total number of stations in

the SLAMS network, except for requiring a minimum number of SLAMS lead, SO 2 

### , and PM 2.5 

### sites.

For lead, EPA requires state and local agencies to focus their network design efforts on establishing

monitoring stations around lead stationary sources which generate or have the potential to generate

exceedances of the quarterly lead NAAQS. Sources around which lead monitoring networks should be

established are those emitting half ton or more per year. Other factors affect the number of stations in

the network. S LAMS SO 2 

### monitoring requirements for counties not within the boundaries of any

Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical A rea/Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA/MSA) are based on the

emissions of SO 2 

### in the airshed. A minimum number of SO 2 

### SLAMS sites are required for targeted

sources of SO 2 

### emissions. Other than these requirements, the optimum size of a particular SLAMS

network involves tradeoffs between data needs and available resources, which can best be resolved

during the network design process.14 

# Appendix E Requirements

Appendix E con tains siting criteria to be applied to ambient air quality analyzers or samplers after the

general site location has been selected based on the monitoring objectives and spatial scales of

representativeness presented in Appendix D and summarized in Section 2.1 of this document. The siting

criteria presented in Appendix E are summarized in Table 3.



## Other Ambient Air Monitoring Data Needs

Washington uses special purpose monitors (SPMs) typically nephelometers, throughout Washington

State. SPMs are used for a variety of purposes, including Washington’s Air Quality Advisory program,

ambient air quality assessment and special studies such as secondary aerosol and ozone precursor

assessments

. SPM nephelometer monitoring sites utilize Federal Reference Method (F RM) sampling

equipment for correlations and are operated in accordance with CFR requirements for quality assurance

and quality control. SPM designation for criteria pollutant monitoring sites allows Ecology to assess

ambient particulate levels within regi ons of the State, while providing the flexibility to relocate the sites

if it is determined there is no concern for NAAQS violations in the area, typically after three years of

data collection. SPM sites may be added to Ecology’s SLAMS network when a NAAQ S exceedance

has been recorded, or if elevated pollutant concentrations are consistently measured

## Network Review Procedure

Network Review Team and Preparation

Network report participants include the Washington State Department of Ecology Air Quality staff.

Sufficient information is provided to determine compliance of the network with regulatory network

design and siting requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 58, Appendices D and E as to determine

compliance of the network design and siting requirements specified for all special ambient air

monitoring networks.



## Network Modifications

Modifications to the SLAMS network are addressed in 40 CFR 58.25, 58.36, and 58.46, respectively.

Under Section 58.25, States are required to annually develop and implement schedules to modify the

SLAMS network to eliminate any unnecessary stations or to correct an y inadequacies indicated by the

annual net work review required by 58.20(d). As part of the annual network review, evaluations of the

special networks established as partnership agreements between EPA and Ecology should also be

conducted. Modifications to these networks should be recommended as a result of this annual report.

An important objective of the network modification process is determining whether or not sufficient

ambient air quality information and data are being provided by the regulatory and other special

monitoring networks to satis fy the principal data needs. If sufficient air quality data are not being

collected, the deficient area must be identified and corrective action taken to resolve the problem.

Conversely, if it is determined that excessive data are being collected (e.g., there are redundant sites

resulting in data that agree closely), then efforts need to be taken to determine where disinvestment

should be made and on what schedule.

Network modifications may be initiated by EPA or proposed by Ecology and agreed to by EPA.

Network modifications may result from revisions to the Part 58 regulations, systems audits, site visits, or

performance evaluations; special studies/saturation sampling, population increases/decreases; air quality

concentrations consis tently recorded bel ow the NAAQS. L oss of permission to use a site; demolition of

a building which is used for monitoring; building construction; growth of trees; changes in roadways;

change in neighborhood type of use, etc.



## Determining Compliance with Appendix D and Specia l Monitoring

Requirements

Ecology uses this review to determine whether it is meeting the number of monitors required by the Part

58 Appendix D design criteria requirements, and whether the monitors properly located based on the

monitoring objectives and s patial scales of representativeness presented in Appendix D.17 

## Number and Location of Monitors

For SLAMS, the number of monitors required and their locations are not specified in the regulations but

rather are determined by EPA Region 10 and Ecology on a case

- by

- case basis. EPA and Ecology ensure

that SLAMS meet the monitoring objectives specified in Appendix D. Adequacy of the network is

being determined by using a variety of tools. Appropriate location of monitors can be determined on the

basis of s tated objectives.

Monitor locations are based on the objectives specified in Appendix D, Section 3. Most often, these

locations are those that have high concentrations and large population exposure. Population information

may be obtained from the lates t census data and ambient monitoring data from AQS. If zip codes for

various monitoring locations are obtained, use of electronic media census information and GIS- based

information can be more easily combined with ambient monitoring data.

For special monitoring needs, program documents applicable to the network must be reviewed to

determine the goals and specific siting criteria for the network. Compliance with monitoring objective

determinations of the special network should be conducted using procedures similar to those used for

Appendix D evaluations (are the number of monitors appropriate and are the monitors properly located).



## Determining Compliance with Appendix E Requirements

Applicable siting criteria for SLAMS are specified in 40 CFR 58, Appendix E. The on- site visit itself

consists of the physical measurements and observations needed to determine compliance with the

Appendix E requirements, such as height above the ground level, distance from tr ees, paved or

vegetative ground cover, etc.18 Fi gure 1 : MAP of Washington State Monitoring (all sites)19 Table 4 : Carbon Monoxide, Parameter code 42101

### Notes: Nephelometers are not EPA equivalent method compliance instruments and design values are

estimates. Ecology uses the Washington Air Quality Advisory (WAQA) for reporting PM 2.5 

### to inform and

protect citizens of Washington. WAQA reporting is more protective of human health. Ecology’s goal is

to keep 24 -hour concentrations below 20μg/m 3 

### . In addition, some monitors in areas of Washington are

not inten ded to be solely NAAQS based. Certain monitors are used for protection of human health by

calling burn bans during home heating season, making daily decisions for agricultural burning and

### & Weller near -road site and ORCAA is proposing relocation of the Port Angeles site

. The

current Port Angeles air monitoring station, located at Stevens Middle School, should be relocated to the

Port Angeles Fire Station. Data from a 2014 saturation study, conducted with a total of 4 locations,

including Stevens, records increased PM2.5 levels at the Port Angeles Fire Department for most of the

year. Moving to the fire station would decrease inlet tubing length by approximately 150 feet, to a total

length of 10 feet. Stevens Middle School winter break often causes accessibility problems. The fire

station is open 24/7, which guarantees the ability, and flexibility to maintain and repair equipment

Relocation would not alter the current neighborhood scale or any other placement factors

## Trace Gas Monitoring

NCore

– Precursor Gas & Mul ti -Pollutant Monitoring – From an emission source perspective,

multiple pollutants and their precursors are released simultaneously (e.g., a combustion plume with

nitrogen, carbon, hydrocarbon, mercury, sulfur gases, and particulate matter). Meteorologica l processes

that shape pollutant movement, atmospheric transformations, and removal act on all pollutants.

Numerous chemical and physical interactions underlie the dynamics of particle and ozone formation and

the adherence of air toxics on surfaces of par ticles.

Overwhelming programmatic and scientific interactions across pollutants have demanded a movement

toward integrated air quality management. Multi- pollutant air monitoring benefits health assessments

and emissions strategy development. Health stud ies with access to multi

- pollutant data will be better

positioned to identify effects of different pollutants, particularly when concentration, composition, and

population types are included. Air quality models and source attribution methods used for stra tegy

development also benefit from the multi-pollutant approach. Modelers will be able to perform more

robust evaluations by checking performance on several variables to ensure the model produces results

for correct reasons and not through compensating er rors. As emission sources are characterized by a

multiplicity of pollutant releases, related source apportionment models yield more conclusive results

from use of multi- pollutant measurements. Multi

- pollutant measurements also streamline monitoring

operations and offer increased diagnostic capabilities to improve instrument performance.

The multi -pollutant monitoring provided for these needs by starting to fill the measurement gaps that

have accumulated over the years. The objective of this strategy i s to provide for the following important

needs:

• Improved data flow and timely reporting to the public

• Future NAAQS compliance determinations and revisions

• Support for development of emissions strategies

• Assess effectiveness of air pollution control programs

• Data for scientific and health -based studies

# Toxics

Collocated National Air Toxics Trend Site (NATTS) - In addition to the STN and NCore Precursor

Gas Monitoring Programs, Beacon Hill is also a designated N ational Air Toxics Trend Site (NATTS).

The primary objectives of Washington’s National Air Toxics Trends Site Monitoring Program include

but are not limited to:

• Provide long-term air toxic monitoring data in order to establish and track trends.

• Evaluate t he air toxic program’s progress by characterizing air toxics concentrations, and

determining their spatial and temporal differences between cities and regions over time.

• Provide representative air toxic data to s upport exposure assessments (i.e. determine health

risks).

• Determine where air toxics emissions come from (source apportionment).

• Provide air toxic data for evaluating modeling results that are used for exposure assessments.

• Assess the effectiveness of the air toxic program’s emission reduction and control strategies.

# Appendix C

Vancouver, WA PM 2.5 

# Site Relocation Assessment

The Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA), in cooperation with the Department of Ecology (Ecology), operates

one SLAMS fine particulate matter (PM 2 5 ) monitor in Vancouver, Washington. The pur pose of this of this

monitor is to provide population-oriented, neighborhood- scale, PM 2 5 pollution information for the greater

Vancouver area. Data from this monitor are used to:

• Determine compliance with federal standards

• Provide near

‐ real

‐ time air quality information for the protection of public health

• Forecast air quality

• Make daily burn decisions and curtailment calls

• Assist with permitting activities

• Evaluate the effectiveness of air pollution control programs

• Evaluate the eff ects of air pollution on public health

• Determine air quality trends

• Identify and develop responsible and cost

‐ effective pollution control strategies

• Evaluate air quality models

Due to a pending property foreclosure at the former site, the monitoring s ite was moved to its current location at

8121 NE Vancouver Plaza Dr. (530110023) on August 29, 2013. As shown in Figure 2 , the current site is located

approximately 200 meters northwest of the former site at 8205 N E 4 th Plain Rd. (530110013). The PM 2 5 monitor

in use for the last two years at both of these sites is a Thermo Scientific 1405F Federal Equivalent Monitor

(FEM), which ran from 10/01/2011 – 8/27/2013 at the 4 th Plain Rd. site and from 9/04/2013 – present at the

current Vancouver Plaza Dr. site.162 Figure 2 . Vancouver, WA current and past SLAMS sites for PM 2.5 monitoring



### During the months following the site relocation in late 2013, the FEM reported exceptionally high PM 2.5



### concentr ations that were inconsistent with both historical trends at the 4 th 

### Plain Rd. site and concurrent

data from nearby monitoring sites. In fact, during the fall of 2013, the Vancouver, Plaza Dr. monitor

recorded a higher average concentration and exceeded the standard more often than any other site in the

state. On multiple occasions, SWCAA and Ecology staff has observed smoke from a nearby residential

chimney following a path directly to the monitor inlet. Ecology has determined that the Vancouver Plaza

Dr. site meets neither the monitoring objective nor neighborhood- scale siting criteria based on the

following factors, described in further detail below:

a. discrepancies between PM 2 5 

### concentrations measured in 2013 at the current site and in 2011-

2012 at the past site;

b. discrepancies between PM 2 5 

### concentrations measured at the Vancouver Plaza Dr. site and those

at other neighborhood- scale monitoring sites in the metropolitan area;

c. direct observations of smoke impacts from nearby residential chimneys; and

d. resu lts of a mobile monitoring campaign that showed the impact of local pollution sources at the

Vancouver Plaza Dr. site.

In March 2014, the Vancouver Plaza Dr. PM 2.5 

### monitor was changed from neighborhood to microscale

in AQS and collected data were flagged with a qualifier code of NS (Influenced By Nearby Source) to

reflect the impact of local sources. Within the calendar year 2014, the state of Washington plans to move

the Vancouver Plaza Dr. site to a location that meets neighborhood- scale siting criteria and satisfies the

monitoring objective of providing population-oriented PM 2 5 

### pollution information for the wider

Vancouver area.163 

### A. Comparison to Historical Vancouver Data

During the 3-week period beginning November 23 rd 

### and ending December 12 th 

### , 2013 the Vancouver

Plaza Dr. monitor recorded 13 exceedances of the federal 24 -hour fine particle standard of 35 μg/m 3 

### . In

contrast, the 4 th 

### Plain Rd. site reported only two exceedances in all of 2011 and none in 2012. The

boxplots in Figure 3 show the distribution of 24-hour PM 2.5 

### concentrations during the heating seasons of

2011, 2012 and 2013. These show not only a marked increase in the median and 75 th 

### percentile of the

PM 2.5 

### data but also the large number of values greater than 35 μg/m 3 

### during the 2013 heating season.

Given the short distance between the two sites, the most likely explanation for this rapid increase is the

impact of local sources on the current monitoring site in late 2013.

### . The two sites closest to Vancouver are the Portland SE Lafayette site approximately 10 miles

south of Vancouver Plaza Dr. and the Beaverton Highland Park School site approximately 17 miles

southwest. Both sites measure PM 2.5

### During the 3-week period in November and– of December 2013 in which the Vancouver Plaza Dr. site

reported 13 exceedances of the federal 24 -hour PM 2.5 

### standard, the SE Lafayette and Beaverton monitors

reported 4 and 5 exceedances, respectively. Figure 4 shows a time -series graph of hourly PM 2.5 

### concentrations at the three monitors spanning the stagnation event across the are a. While the three

monitors showed generally good agreement, the Vancouver FEM reported a series of large spikes in

quick succession that were not seen on the other two monitors. Though this may be partially explained

by differences in instrument response between FEMs and nephelometers, the large magnitude of these

spikes indicates that the Vancouver monitor was affected by local sources that did not impact the other

two sites.

### C. Local Source Impacts

On multiple occasions during the 2013 heating season, staff observed smoke from a nearby chimney

travel approximately 100 meters west across the adjoining field into the direct p ath of the FEM inlet, as

shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6. Rapid increases in the FEM’s reported concentration corresponded with

these observations.165 Figure 5 . Close

### D. Mobile Monitoring Results

To evaluate whether the concentrations measured at the Vancouver Plaza Dr. site were represe ntative of

PM 2.5 

### levels across broader Vancouver, a mobile monitoring campaign was conducted during a brief

stagnation event between 7pm on 1/21/14 and 8am on 1/22/14. A Radiance Research M903

nephelometer was positioned in the rear seat of a passenger veh icle with its inlet outside the rear

window (see Figure 9 ). The vehicle was driven on an approximately 35- mile route through residential

Vancouver and its northern suburbs. This route was repeated 3 times during th e late evening and early

morning. The nephelometer reported 2.5 σ

sp 

### data points per second, which were later aggregated to 1-

second intervals. A handheld Garmin GPS collected the geographic coordinates of the vehicle location

once per second.168 Figure 9 . Mobile nephelometer setup



### The σ

sp 

### and geographic coordinates were paired using their common timestamps. The geometric means

of σ

sp 

### points within 300 meters were calculated for a grid of evenly spaced points 50 meters apart. The

map in Figure 10 shows these aggregated PM 2.5 

### concentrations across the mobile monitoring route.

### The Vancouver Plaza Dr. site shown with the blue triangle is at the center of the area with the highest

concentrations measured during the mobile monitoring campa ign. The residential areas with similar

terrain north of 18 th 

### St. are largely represented in yellow and orange. This area of elevated

concentrations around the Vancouver Plaza Dr. monitor is only a few hundred meters wide, again

indicating the influence of local sources instead of a neighborhood-wide trend.

Next Steps

In light of the large difference between PM 2.5 

### concentrations measured before and after the site

relocation, the contrast between measured values in Vancouver and those at other nearby mon itoring

sites, and evidence of the impact of local sources, the state of Washington has updated the siting scale of

the Vancouver SLAMS site to microscale, flagged the data in AQS, and is planning to relocate the

monitor to an appropriate location for population oriented, neighborhood-scale monitoring by the end of

2014.170
