# 1.0 Introduction

This report describes the network of ambient air quality monitors in Santa

Barbara County. This report was prepared to meet the requirements for an

annual network plan as listed in Title 40, Part 58, Section 10 of the C ode of

Federal Regulations (40 CFR 58.10). The language of 40 CFR 58.10 is included

in Appendix A of this report. The regulations require that this annual monitoring

network plan be submitted to the U.S. En vironmental Protection Agency (EPA)

by July 1 of each year. The plan must be made available for public inspections

for at least 30 days prior to submission to EPA. This plan was made available for

public review and co mment from June 1 through June 30, 2 013

. No comments

were received.

This review is used to determine if the State and Local Air Monitoring Station

(SLAMS) network in Santa Barbara County meets the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) criteria for station siting based on the EPA monitoring

objectives. This netw ork review ensures that the data collected by the SLAMS

air monitoring network in Santa Barbara County is representative and will satisfy

the data needs of EPA, California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the Santa

Barbara County Air Pollution Control Distr ict (SBCAPCD).

This network plan include s SLAMS monitors which are federal reference

methods (FRM), federal equivalent methods (FEM), or approved regional

methods (ARM). Spe cial purpose monitors (SPM) are also include d in this plan.

The SPM s in Santa Barbara County consist of a number of Prevention of

Significant Deterioration (PSD) sites operated by the SBC APCD or private

contractor s . There are a number of major oil and gas developments in Santa

Barbara County with permits for the productio n, proc essing and transportation of

oil and gas. The se oil and gas permits trigger the PSD monitoring requirements.



## 1.1 Network Design

The air monitoring network in Santa Barbara County consists of SLAMS and

SPM operat ed by the SBC APCD, California Air R esources Board (CARB) and

private contractors. The monitoring network is designed to cover the diverse

range of topography, meteorology, emissions and air quality in Santa Barbara

County, while adequately representing the population in the county.

Santa Barbara County will schedul e discussions with CARB to formalize an

agreement to share responsibility for air monitoring network design within Santa

Barbara County.

This network review is used to determine if the monitoring system meets the

monitoring obje ctives defined in 40 CFR 58 Appendix D. The three basic

monitoring objectives as described in Appendix D are:

1) Provide air pollution data to the general public in a timely manner.

### 5

2) Support compliance with ambient air quality standards and emissions

strategy development

.

3) Support for air pollution research studies.



## 1.2 Stations

In order to support the air quality management work indicated in the three basic

air monitoring objectives, the network is designed with a variety of monitoring site

type s. There are six general site types:

1) Highest concentrations expected to occur in the area.

2) T ypical concentrations in areas of high population density.

3) I mpact of significant sources on air quality

.

4) G eneral background concentration levels.

5) R egional pollutant t ransport among populate d areas.

6) A ir pollution impact on visibility, vegetation damage or other welfare

- based

impacts.

There are 16 ambient air monitoring stations located in Santa Barbara County

. The map in F igure 1 .1 shows the location of each site. The se sites are operated

for different objectives. There are six SLAMS stations which are sited to

measure the typical concentrations in areas of high population density or to

monitor the impacts of regional pollution

. Two of these sites (Santa Barbara and

Santa Maria) are operated by CARB. The other four SLAMS sites (Goleta, El

Capitan, Lompoc H Street, and Santa Ynez) are operated by SBCAPCD.

There are ten sites which were installed as part of the PSD network to measure

the impacts of stationary sources and to measure regional air quality. These

site s are classified as SPM . Carpinter i a, Exxon LFC 1, Lompoc HS & P, Nojoqui,

Paradise Road, and VAFB STS were install ed with o zone monitors to measure

regional air quality in Santa Barbara County. Of these s ites

, Paradise Road and

Exxon LFC 1 have measured the highest Ozone concentrations in the county.

The Nojoqui monitoring station was located in a pass between the northern and

southern portions of Santa Barbara County to measure transport between the

two portions of the county. Exxon LFC 1, West Campus, Lompoc HS & P, and

VAFB STS contain monitors to measure the impacts of nearby sources. Lompoc

Odor, LFC Odor and El l wood Odor are located near oil and gas processing

facilities to monitor odorous compound s: hydrogen sulfide and total r educed

sulfur . T able 1 .1 lists the sites in Santa Barbara County and identifies the site ’s

EPA AQS identification code, type of site, and operator. The sites in the table

are numbered to match the si te numbers of the map shown in F igure 1 .1

## 1.3 Monitors

Many of the sites in the monitoring network serve multi

- purposes. They may be

ideal for background concentration for one pollutant while also measuring the

impact of transport for another pollutant. To clarify the nature of the link between

the general monitoring objectives, site types, and physical location of a particular

monitor, the concept of spatial scale of representativeness is defined. The goal

of locatin g m onitors is to correctly match the spatial scale represented by the

sample of monitored air with the spatial scale most appropriate for the monitoring

site type, air pollutant to be measured, and the monitoring objective. The scales

of representativeness o f most interest for the monitoring site types are describe d

as follows:

1) Micro scale

– Defines the concentrations in air volumes associated with

area dimensions ranging from several meters up to about 100 meters.

2) Middle scale

– Defines the concentration ty pical of areas up to several city

blocks in size with dimensions ranging from about 100 meters to 0.5

kilometer.

3) Neighborhood scale

– Defines concentrations within some extended are a

of the city that has relatively uniform land use with dimensions in the 0 .5 to

4.0 kilometers range.

### 8

4) Urban scale

– Defines concentrations within an area of city like

dimensions, on the order of 4 to 50 kilometers.

5) Regional scale

– Defines usually a rural area of reasonably homogeneous

geography without large sources, and extend s from tens to hundreds of

kilometers.

Classification of the monitor by its type and spatial scale of representativeness

aids in the interpretation of the monitoring data for a particular monitoring

objective. Table 1.2 illustrates the relationship betwe en the various site types

that can be used to support the three basic monitoring objectives and the scales

of representativeness that are generally most appropriate for that type of site.

# 2.0 Monitoring Requirements

EPA regulations specify the mi nimum number of sites at which s tate and local air

agencies must deploy monitors. Santa Barbara County meets or exceeds EPA’s

minimum requirements. In practice, the s tate and local agencies find they need

to deploy more monitors than required by the law . The additional monitors are

needed to fulfill s tate and local purposes for monitoring that are in addition to the

federal purposes. A number of monitors are required by permits issued to

operate stationary emission sources

. Ca lifornia State air quality standards are

more stringent than national standards and require more monitors to s how

compliance with the state standards. Monitors are also used to keep the public

informed of the actual air quality conditions where they live and work . Also, d ue to the complex topography in San ta Barbara County, more monitors than the

minimum required by EPA are needed to properly characterize the air quality in

the county

.

The requirements for numbers of monitors appear in Appendix D of Pa rt 58 of the

CFR. For ozone, PM2.5, and PM10, the required minimum number is based on

the population of an area and the severity of the air quality for the pollutant in the

area. For other pollutants, no monitoring is required unless an area exceeds or

i s close to exceeding a national ambient air quality standard. For purposes of the

minimum requirements, the areas are defined by the metropolitan statistical

areas (MSAs) developed by the U.S. Census Bureau . Santa Barbara County is

part of the Santa Barb ara

– Santa Maria MSA. It covers the major cities in our

county and has a population count of 423,895 base d on the 20 1 0 U.S. Census.



## 2.1 Ozone (O3)

The minimum monitoring requir ements for o zone are listed in Table 2.1 . Santa

Barbara County has 12 ozone monitors which me e t the requirements of EPA.

Santa Barbara County has a design value of .0 69 ppm based on 20 10

– 201 2

data which meets the federal 8

- hour o zone standard of 0.075 ppm

. Santa

Barbara County is non

- attainment for the state 8

- hour ozone st an dard. Only the

Exxon LFC site recorded concentrations of ozone in excess of the federal

standards in 20 1 2

. The Exxon LFC and Carpinteria sites measured

concentrations of ozone in excess of the state standard in 2012. The other sites

with ozone monitors a re Santa Maria , Vandenberg Air Force Base STS

, Carpinteria, El Capitan, Paradise Road, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Lompoc

HSP, and Lompoc H Street. None of these sites recorded concentrations in

excess of any federal or state ozone standards in 2012

. These sites are used to

keep the public informed of air quality in area s of major population . The data are

used in air quality index (AQI) reporting and air quality mapping.

## 2.2 Carbon Monoxide (CO)

There are no EPA minimum requirements for the number of CO monitoring sites

for CBSA’s with a population less than one million

. For CBSA’s with a population

of one million or greater, near roadway CO monitors are required. Continued

operation of existing SLAMS CO sites is required until discontinuation is

approved by the EPA. There are four SLAMS CO monitors located at Goleta

, Lompoc H Street, Santa Barbara and Santa Maria which are used to measure

the impacts of high population exp osure and are not near roadway monitors.

There are also CO monitors located at Exxon LFC1 and VAFB STS which are

required by operating permit conditions issued to nearby sources.

## 2.3 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

On January 22, 2010, EPA strengthened the health

- based NAAQS for NO2. The

rule al so established new ambient air monitoring and reporting requirements.

One “near road” monitor will be required in urban areas with a population greater

than or equal to 500,000 people. A second monitor is required near another

major road in areas with ei ther a population greater than or equal to 2.5 million

people or a road segment with an annual average daily traffic count greater than

or equal to 250,000 vehicles. One community wide monitor is required in urban

areas with a population of greater than o r equal to 1 million people. Santa

Barbara does not meet any of these criteria so no additional monitors will be

required. Continued operation of existing SLAMS NO2 sites is required until

discontinuation is approved by the EPA . There are five SLAMS NO2 monitors

. Goleta

, Lompoc H Street , Santa Barbara, and Santa Maria are used to measure

### 12

the impacts of high population exposure and El Capitan monitors the pollutant on

a regional scale There are six other sites which measure NO2: Carpinteria,

Exxon LF C 1, Nojoqui, Paradise Road, Lompoc HS & P, and VAFB STS. These

monitors are required by operating permit conditions of nearby sources and are

used to measure the impact of sources on regional ozone formation. Table 2. 3

list s the minimum monitoring requi rements for Nitrogen Dioxide.

## 2.4 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

EPA strengthened the primary NAAQS for SO2 on Jun e 2, 2010. The rule

established a new 1 hour standard and revised the monitoring requirements.

Monitors will be required based on Core Based Statistical Areas (C BSAs) based

on a population weighted emissions index for the area. Three monitors will be

re quired in CBSAs with index values of 1,000,000 or more. Two monitors will be

required in CBSAs with index values less tha n 1,000,000 but greater than

10 0,000; and 1 monitor will be required in CBSAs with index values greater than

5,000. Continued operati on of existing SLAMS SO2 sites is required until

discontinuation is appro ved by the EPA. There are two SLAMS SO2 monitors at

El Capitan and Lompoc H Street w hich are used to measure the impacts of high

population exposure. There are four other sites whic h measure SO2: Exxon

LFC 1, UCSB West Campus, Lompoc HS&P, and VAFB STS. These mo nitors

are required by operating permit conditions of nearby sources and are used to

measure the impact of sources on the surrounding air quality. New SO2

monitors must be operational by January 1, 2013. Table 2. 4 lists the minimum

monitoring requirements for SO2. No additional monitors will be required in

Santa Barbara County.

## 2.5 Particula te Matter (PM10)

The minimum monitoring requirements for PM10 are listed in Table 2. 5

. There are five SLAMS PM10 monitors located at Santa Barbara, El Capitan,

Goleta, Lompoc H Street, and Santa Maria. Note that the Santa Barbara and

Santa Maria sites operated by CARB onl y report data in local conditions;

therefore their data cannot be compared to NAAQS. There are two PSD sites

which measure PM10: Exxon LFC 1 and VAFB STS. These monitors are

required by operating permit conditions of nearby sources and are used to

measu re the impact of nearby sources on the surrounding air quality.

## 2.6 Particulat e Matter (PM2.5)

The minimum monitoring requirements for PM2.5 are listed in Table s 2. 6a and b

. There are four PM2.5 monitors located at Santa Barbara

, Santa Maria , Goleta,

and Lompoc H Street

. Santa Barbara and Santa Maria had FRM samplers but

were removed in June 2010 and were replaced with FEM real time samplers.

Lompoc H Street and Goleta ha ve real time sampler s however, they are not FEM

approved. Because the PM2.5 monitors at Lompoc H Street and Goleta do not

meet FEM requirements, this data is reported to AQS utilizing the 88501

parameter code, indicating non

- regulatory monitoring.

PM2.5 co location requirements are based on the primary quality assurance

organization (PQAO) network. Santa Barbara County is part of the CARB

PQAO. See the CARB annual network plan for details on meeting the PM2.5

colocation requirements.

### 2.7 Lead (Pb)

EPA substantially strengthened the NAAQS for lead on October 15, 2008. The

level of the primary standard was revised from 1.5 ug/m3 down to 0.15 ug/m 3

measured as total suspended particles (TSP). The secondary standard was

revised to be identical to the primary standard. Source oriented Monitors are

required in areas with airport sources that emit on e ton or more per year of lead

or non

- airport sources that emit one half ton per year of lead

. Additionally, non

source lead monitoring is required at NCORE sites in a CBSA with a population

greater than 500,000

. The population of Santa Barbara County is below the

500,000 threshold and there are no NCORE sites required in Santa Barbara

County ; therefore no n

- source lead monitors are not required. The highest

emission inventory of lead in Santa Barbara County is the Santa Barbara

Municipal airport with 0.4 tons per year. Since this is below the threshold, no

source oriented lead monitors are required

.

## 2.8 Recent or Proposed Modifications to the Network

There have been no changes requiring EPA approval to the network since the

submission of the 2012 Network Plan.

Plans for the next 18 months include completing the relocati on the Santa Ynez

monitoring station to a new location. Pepper trees have become overgrown to

the north of the original site and the probe no longer meets siting criteria. A

nearby location has been secured , a new shelter is in pla ce and the installation of

equipment has begun. The new site will be operated concurrently with the

original Santa Ynez site to provide a cross comparison between the two

locations. Once sufficient data has been gathered, a formal request will be made

to EPA to discontinue monitoring at the original monitoring location.

Santa Barbara County has been working to transition the monitoring methods

utilized for PM10 from hi

- volume samplers to continuous beta attenuation

monitors . This transition was completed on 1/1/13 , and the new monitoring

methods will be reflected in next year’s network plan

. Eliminating the use of the

hi

- vol PM10 method also eliminated the co

- location requirements for PM

- 10 as

continuous FEM PM

- 10 monitors have no co

- locati on requirements.

### 16



## 2.9 Additional Monitors

Santa Barbara County operates some monitors which are not required by 40

CFR 58.10. These sites and monitors are included in the network review for

reference only and not to show compliance with any requirement s even though

they are operated under the same quality assurance/control guidelines as the

FRM monitors.

There are four stations which are set up near oil and gas processing fac ilities to

monitor for two odorous compounds: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and to tal reduced

sulfur (TRS). These monitors are located at the following stations: Lompoc

Odor, LFC Odor, Ellwood Odor, and UCSB West Campus.

Total Hydrocarbon monitors (THC) are also located at some of the PSD

monitoring station s located near oil and gas processing facilities. These sites

are: El Capitan, Exxon LFC 1, Lompoc HS&P, West Campus, and VAFBSTS.

All of the monitoring stations listed in this report also measure wind speed, wind

directions and ambient temperature. The se data are used for modeling and

tracking.

# 3.0 Additional information on PM 2.5 monitors

This section includes information for a couple of elements required to be in the

annual network plan that relate specifically to PM2.5

. One required element

rela tes to whether data for a PM2.5 monitor can be used to determine

compliance with the national annual PM2.5 air quality standard. T his is termed

as the suitability for comparison to the annual standard. The other element

requires information regarding the review process followed by air agencies when

changes are made to the location of a PM2.5 monitor that is violating a PM2.5

NAAQS.



## 3.1 Comparison to annual PM2.5 NAAQS

O nly data from a PM2.5 FRM or FEM can be used in regulatory determinations

of complian ce with the annual PM2.5 NAAQS and that the monitor be located at

a neighborhood scale. For a PM2.5 monitor to be representative at a

neighborhood scale, the concentration values measured by the monitor should

be representative of concentrations expected over an area with dim ensions of a

few kilometers. Therefore the monitor should not be located too close to a hot

spot of PM2.5 concentrations that extend s over distances less than a few

hundred m eters . All of the PM2.5 FRM and FEM monitors in Santa Barba ra

County are sited to be representative of a neighborhood scale and meet this

suitability requirement.



## 3.2 Review of changes to PM2.5 network

As required by regulation, prior to any changes to the PM2.5 network are made,

a formal request is drafted out lining the reason for the change, when the change

will occur, and any other relevant information about the proposed changed. The

proposal (either as part of an annual network review or between reviews) will be

posted on the District website for a 30 day p ublic comment period. Following the

comment period, the District will forward the request with comments and District

responses to EPA for consideration. Only after EPA has granted approval of the

proposed change, will the District make the changes to the PM2.5 monitoring

network.

### 18



# 4.0 Quality Assurance and Data Submittal

All data collected from the monitors in the Santa Barbara County network are

reviewed for quality assurance by the SBCAPCD with the exception of the Santa

Barbara and Santa Maria monitoring stations which are reviewed and processed

by CARB.



## 4.1 Annual performance evaluation

Annual performance evaluations challenge the monitors with know n

concentrations of audit gas es to evaluate the accuracy of the monitors. The

SLAMS sites in Santa Barbara County are audited on an annual basis by the

CARB. The PSD stations are evaluated by an independent contractor who

audits the monitors on a quarterly basis.



## 4.2 Data submittal

Digital records of the data including prec ision and accuracy data ar e submitted to

EPA by uploading the records to their air quality system data base (AQS). These

records are submitted within 90 days following the end of each quarterly

reporting period.



## 4.3 Annual certification

The data are certified for their accurac y and completeness on an annual basis

and a certification letter is submitted to the regional EPA administrator by May 1

of each year.



# 5.0 Detailed Site Information

The tables in this section give detailed information relating to the sites and

monitors. They are presented to show compliance with the monitoring

requirements found in 40 CFR 58.10.

* Note: Pepper trees planted north of the probe have become overgrown and are

preventing unrestricted airflow from the north. This site has been in operation

since 1980. Historical pollution roses from a period of time prior to the trees

being pla nted show that high ozone predominately occurs with westerly winds, a

direction of unrestricted airflow. The Santa Barbara APCD is currently relocating

this site and will operate the new Santa Ynez site location concurrently with the

original location to provide a cross comparison of data. When sufficient cross

compari son data has been gathered, a formal request to shut down the original

Santa Ynez site location will be made to EPA

## APPENDIX A

Regulatory l anguage of 40 CFR 58.10

§ 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 syst em 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 annu al 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 appr oval 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 h as made no changes subsequent to that comment opportunity, the

Regional Administrator is not required to provide a separate opportunity for

comment.

(3) The plan for establishing required NCore multi

- pollutant stations shall be

submitted to the Administra tor not later than July 1, 2009. The plan shall provide

for all required stations to be operational by January 1, 2011.

(b) The annual monitoring network plan must contain the following information for

each existing and proposed site:

(1) The AQS site id entification 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.

### A

- 2

(5) Any proposals to remove or move a monit oring 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 si tes that are not suitable

for comparison against the annual PM 2.5 

### NAAQS as described in §58.30.

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

(c) The annual monitoring network plan must document how States and local

agencies provide for the review of changes to a PM 2.5 

### monitoring network that

impact the location of a violating PM 2.5 

### monitor or the creation/change to a

community monitoring zone, including a description of the proposed use of

spatial averaging for purposes of making compar isons to the annual PM 2.5 

### 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 withi n

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 mon itoring

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 pr oposed 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 appl icable 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 annu al

monitoring network plans and periodic network assessments are subject to

approval according to §58.14.
