Introduction to the 2012 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 multi-pollutant 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 Air Quality Site Identification (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 
5

condensed and combined from the previous year’s format so that all relevant information can be found within each 

area’s section of the report and relieves the reader from searching tables at the end of the report for information about 

a given site.

Each of the four local programs operating an air monitoring network in Tennessee has also provided a separate 

annual review which has been included in this report. Where revisions were noted in the local networks, similar 

revisions were added to the state’s 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; (SO2and NO2), the revisions to 

the standard were 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.

Proposed Revisions to Tennessee’s Ambient Air Monitoring Network

Sulfur Dioxide Monitoring:

Based on historical ambient SO2 data generated in the Kingsport area of Sullivan County, a monitoring site 

is required in the vicinity of Eastman Chemical Company to assess compliance with the hourly National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS). A site is already in operation in Kingsport which meets all requirements of 40 CFR, 

Part 58. It is identified in AQS as 47-163-0007. The site is operated by Eastman Chemical Company and is required 

under Chapter 1200-03014-.01 of the Tennessee Air Pollution Control regulations. Tennessee Air Pollution Control 

(TAPC) requests EPA consider this site to meet the SO2 monitoring requirement in Kingsport.

Based on population-weighted emission index calculations, a single SO2 monitoring site is required in the 

Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) of Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville. SO2 monitoring sites are already in 

operation in Memphis (AQS 47-157-0075) and Nashville (AQS 47-037-0011) which should satisfy this requirement. 

To meet the requirement in Knoxville, TAPC proposes to locate an SO2 monitor at its existing ozone monitoring site 

(47-001-0101 in Anderson County which is in the Knoxville CBSA.

Memphis-Shelby County Air Pollution Control proposes to discontinue sulfur dioxide monitoring at the Fite 

Road site (AQS 47-157-0046). This monitor began operation May 1, 1994 with the primary objective of monitoring 

maximum SO2 concentrations from nearby sources. Since the installation of the site, sources in the area have reduced 

sulfur dioxide emissions significantly. The primary source in the area has reduced SO2 emissions 90 percent since 

2005. Ambient SO2 concentrations recorded at the monitoring site in recent years are only a fraction of the NAAQS. 

Discontinuance of this monitor would allow better utilization of resources.

A second SO2 monitoring site is operated in Shelby County (AQS 47-157-0075) as indicated above. 

Continued operation of this site allows Memphis-Shelby County Air Pollution Control to meet minimum SO2

monitoring requirements in the Memphis CBSA.

PM-2.5 Monitoring:

TAPC supplemented fine particulate monitoring at its Clarksville site (AQS 47-125-1009) in January 2007 

by adding a speciation monitor. The purpose was to assess the makeup of fine particulate at this location. Sufficient 

data has now been collected and the intended purpose of operating a speciation monitor at this location has been met. 

Therefore, the speciation monitor at this location will be shut down December 31, 2012. Mass concentrations of PM2.5 will still be monitored at this site with both a reference monitor and a continuous monitor.

PM-10 Monitoring:

TAPC proposes to discontinue PM-10 monitoring at its Cleveland site (AQS 47-011-1002). This site has 

been in operation since 1972. It is felt it is no longer necessary to operate this site because ambient data generated in 

recent years at this location reveals PM-10 concentrations are very low in relation to the standard. Summary statistics 

for the past five years for this site are as follows:

PM-10 monitoring was discontinued March 2012 at site (AQS 47-037-0002) in Davidson County at the 

request of the property owner on which the site is located. The building on which the PM-10 monitor was located is 

undergoing renovation. The renovation is scheduled to be completed in June 2012 at which time the NashvilleDavidson County Air Pollution Control program plans to restart the PM-10 monitor.

Memphis-Shelby County Air Pollution Control proposes to discontinue PM-10 monitoring at its Fite Road 

site, (AQS 47-157-0046). Historical data for this site reveal PM-10 concentrations are very low. The area in which 

this site is located is prone to flooding which sometimes interferes with access to the site. To meet minimum PM-10 

monitoring requirements in the Memphis CBSA, Memphis proposes either it’s Alabama Avenue site (AQS 47-157-

0024), Frayser Road, (AQS 47-157-021), or Edmund Orgill Park (AQS 47-157-1004) be considered as an alternative

to continued monitoring at the Fite Road location.

Ozone Monitoring:

TAPC and the Nashville Air Pollution Control program operate seven ozone monitoring sites in the 

Nashville CBSA. Three of these sites, (AQS 47-037-0011), (AQS 47-037-0026) and (AQS 47-165-0007) have been 

in operation since the 1970’s. The remaining four sites were established in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, just prior 

to or during the Nashville Southern Oxidants Study (SOS), to gain a better understanding of ozone formation and 

transport in the Nashville CBSA.

The additional sites established for the SOS study have served their purpose. While two of the sites, (AQS 

47-187-0106) and (AQS 47-189-0103), still provide useful information in monitoring the ozone situation in the 

Nashville CBSA, the two remaining sites (AQS 47-165-0101) and (AQS 47-149-0101), are no longer needed. TAPC 

proposes to discontinue these two ozone monitoring sites to conserve resources for other critical monitoring tasks. 

This proposal is in line with EPA’s request for state and local agencies to review monitoring networks and make 

adjustments where possible to be more efficient in use of resources and to be able to accommodate new monitoring 

requirements.

The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air Pollution Control agency proposes to relocate the ambient ozone 

monitoring site located at the Eastside Utility District (AQS 47-065-4003). Access to the current site has become a 

problem due to increased security measures put into place by the utility district. Routine access to the site must be 

granted by a security guard. This presents problems when the site operator needs immediate access to the site to 

repair malfunctioning equipment.

A second reason for relocating this site is because the water plant at Eastside is currently undergoing 

expansion and is no longer a suitable location to monitor for ozone in this area.

Nitrogen Dioxide Monitoring:

Community Wide Monitors

Revisions to the NO2 NAAQS in 2010 require a minimum of one NO2 monitoring site in any urban area

with a population greater than or equal to one million people to assess community-wide concentrations. Therefore, a 

community-wide site is required in the Memphis and Nashville CBSA’s. An NO2 monitoring site that meets the 

requirements is already in operation in Nashville (AQS 47-037-0011).

In the Memphis CBSA the State of Arkansas currently operates an NO2 monitor at its Marion site, (AQS 05-

035-0005). Memphis-Shelby County Air Pollution Control requests EPA approve this site to meet minimum 

community-wide NO2 monitoring requirements in the Memphis CBSA.

Near-Road Monitors

Memphis and Nashville are currently scheduled to receive funding during Fiscal year 2013 to establish a 

single near-road site in their respective CBSA’s. In the meantime Tennessee APC and the local air pollution control 

agencies in Memphis and Nashville are working with the Tennessee Dept. of Transportation (TDOT), to identify 

acceptable sites and work out details to meet siting requirements.
8

Lead Monitoring:

There may be a need to relocate the lead monitoring site located near Gerdau Corporation (AQS 47-093-

0023) in Knox County in the coming months. Due to a change in the right-of-way near the current monitoring site, 

relocation may be necessitated.

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.

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 

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 
10

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 

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 temperatures 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 used to determine 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.

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.

4.7.2 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.

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.
27

4.7.4 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 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.

SO2 monitoring network requirements

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2011

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.

PWEI calculations were performed for CBSA’s in Tennessee based on emissions and populations listed in the following 

table. Based on these calculations ambient sulfur dioxide monitors are required as listed in the table.

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. 

(a) SO2 measurement are included within the NCore multi-pollutant 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.

NO2 monitoring network requirements

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2011

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 
29

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.

(1) The near-road NO2 monitoring stations shall be selected by ranking all road segments within a 

CBSA by AADT and then identifying a location or locations adjacent to those highest ranked road 

segments, considering fleet mix, roadway design, congestion patterns, terrain, and meteorology, where 

maximum hourly NO2 concentrations are expected to occur and siting criteria can be met in 

accordance with appendix E of this part. Where a State or local air monitoring agency identifies 

multiple acceptable candidate sites where maximum hourly NO2 concentrations are expected to occur, 

the monitoring agency shall consider the potential for population exposure in the criteria utilized to 

select the final site location. Where one CBSA is required to have two near-road NO2 monitoring 

stations, the sites shall be differentiated from each other by one or more of the following factors: fleet 

mix; congestion patterns; terrain; geographic area within the CBSA; or different route, interstate, or 

freeway designation.

(b) Measurements at required near-road NO2 monitor sites utilizing chemiluminescence FRMs must include at a 

minimum: NO, NO2, and NOX.

Originally, near –road monitoring sites were to be established and in operation by January 1, 2013. However, the 

lack of funding has delayed the implementation of near-road monitoring requirements. As a result EPA is 

following a build and hold plan in establishing the near-road monitoring network. The Memphis and Nashville 

CBSA’s are listed in the second phase of the build and hold plan and are scheduled to receive funding during 

fiscal year 2013 to establish a single near-road site in each CBSA. In the meantime Tennessee APC and the local 

air pollution control agencies in Memphis and Nashville are working with the Tennessee Department of 

Transportation (TDOT), to identify acceptable sites and work out details to meet siting requirements set forth by 

EPA and TDOT.

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.

An area-wide NO2 monitoring site is required in each of the Memphis and Nashville CBSA’s. An area-wide NO2

monitoring site is currently in operation in the Nashville CBSA (Site 47-037-0011). Currently the State of 

Arkansas operates an NO2 monitor at its Marion site (AQS 05-035-0005) which is in the Memphis CBSA. 

Consideration should be given to approving this site to meet the Community-Wide NO2 monitoring requirement 

in the Memphis CBSA.

Lead monitoring network requirements

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2011

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 near 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, taking into account the logistics and potential for population exposure. At a minimum, 

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

air resulting from each non-airport Pb source which emits 0.50 or more tons per year and from each airport 

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 
30

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 non-source oriented Pb monitoring at 

each NCore site required under paragraph 3 of this appendix in a CBSA with a population of 500,000 or more.

CO monitoring network requirements

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2011

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.

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, 2011

58.50 Index reporting.

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

prominent notice an 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.

NCore monitoring network requirements and PM 10-2.5

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2011

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 multi-pollutant 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.

(b) The NCore sites must measure, at a minimum, PM2.5 particle mass using continuous and integrated/filterbased 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. NCore sites in CBSA with a population of 

500,000 people (as determined in the latest Census) or greater shall also measure Pb either as Pb-TSP or PbPM10. The EPA Regional Administrator may approve an alternative location for the Pb measurement where the 

alternative location would be more appropriate for logistical reasons and the measurement would provide data 

on typical Pb concentrations in the CBSA.

(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.

40 CFR 58 Subpart G, Appendix D to Part 58 Revised as of July 1, 2011

4.8 Coarse Particulate Matter (PM10-2.5) Design Criteria.

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.

1 Includes collocated monitor. 

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 PM10 monitor at 470370002 has been temporarily shut down during 

construction at the site. 

An application has been submitted to establish a NO2 near road monitoring site. 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. An additional CO monitor will be collocated with the near road NO2 monitor. 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. 

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 Gerdau’s (formally known as Gerdau Ameristeel) proposed right of way closures, the lead monitor at (47-093-0023) would need to be relocated to the new right-of-way. 

Agency is working with EPA Region 4 to identify an acceptable monitoring site. 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.

NCore Look Rock Monitoring Site

Air quality monitoring at the Look Rock monitoring site has a long history dating at least back to about 1980. Monitoring at this 

site has been a joint effort of the National Park Service (NPS) Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the State of Tennessee.

Siting

The coordinates are:

Latitude + 35.6334N

Longitude -83.9416W

Elevation 801 Meters.

Site is approved by the EPA as a rural NCore site.

Monitoring Objective

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

daily index reporting; and provide date for scientific studies.

Quality Assurance

All Quality Assurance procedures shall be implemented in accordance with 40 CFR 58, Appendix A.

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..

Spatial Scales for Each Pollutant

Generally regional scale.

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.

The 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

Includes trace level analyzer.

4Monitor located in Marion, Arkansas just to the northwest of downtown Memphis.

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.

*Shelby County Health Department is in the Second Phase of the Core Based Statistical Area Near Road NO2 monitoring. The station will include equipment for multi-pollutant 

monitoring also. No Additional SO2 monitors are anticipated to be required to be established but the monitor at Fite Rd. is under consideration to be eliminated in order to reduce 

costs. The need for additional monitoring sites may be met by the relocation of existing network sites. Additional monitoring sites will require additional resources for both equipment 

and operational expenses.

Appendix 1: Shelby County Health Department Network Review

Memphis AMP

Shelby County Health Department Air Pollution Control Program

Network Review

2012

An assessment of the Shelby County Health Department’s (SCHD) ambient air monitoring network 

has been conducted. The SCHD Air Monitoring Branch has evaluated each air monitoring site 

according to the requirements and provisions as required by the Code of Federal Regulations 40, 

Parts 50, 53, and 58 and have concluded that the number and locations of the monitors in our 

network comply with the CFR provisions. Therefore, the SCHD is forwarding the enclosed 

documents with the pertinent air monitoring site information so that the contents may be 

incorporated into the State of Tennessee’s Monitoring Network plan to EPA.

Changes to our air monitoring network include the following: 

The SCHD is in the Second Phase of the Core Based Statistical Area Near Road NO2 

Monitoring. The station will include equipment for multi-pollutant monitoring also. A grant 

application and work plan has been submitted to EPA on March 28, 2012. The SCHD 

anticipates being funded for the one required site later this year. The process has begun to 

determine the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), fleet mix, congestion patterns, roadway 

design, terrain and meteorology for a possible location.

The SCHD is in the process of getting equipment set up to generate met data at the Shelby 

Farms NCORE site.

The SCHD is looking at monitoring sites that can be eliminated in order to reduce costs. 

One monitor is the SO2 monitor at Fite Rd. (47-157-0046) and another is the PM 10 at Fite 

Rd. also.

The PM 2.5 continuous monitor (TEOM) is temporarily discontinued at the Alabama (47-

157-0024) site. The EPA was notified on September 19, 2011 of the status on the monitor 

and has given the SCHD approval to temporarily discontinue this sampling until funds are 

located to replace the monitor. This monitor began to malfunction on July 25, 2011. This 

information has been notated in AQS. The letters requesting the discontinuation and 

approval from EPA are attached in Appendix 3.

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.

No lead or SO2 monitors are anticipated to be required to be established. 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.

Chattanooga-Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau

Network Review 2012

Ozone Attainment

On February 14, 2012, EPA published in the Federal Register, Volume 77, No. 30, a proposed rule to 

implement the March 12, 2008, NAAQS for ground level ozone at .075 parts per million (ppm). This proposed 

rule required designation recommendations from the State of Tennessee for areas in the State. The 

Chattanooga Area (for ozone is comprised of Hamilton and Meigs Counties in Tennessee and Catoosa and 

Walker Counties in Georgia) is recommended for attainment for the .075 ppm ozone standard for the years 

2009-2011. The Area data is also showing attainment for the .075 ppm standard for 2008-2010.

PM2.5 Attainment

In the May 31, 2011, Federal Register, Vol. 76, No. 104, (finalized June 30, 2011) EPA determined that the 

Chattanooga Area (for PM2.5 is comprised of Hamilton County in Tennessee, Catoosa and Walker Counties in 

Georgia, and a portion of Jackson County in Alabama) has attaining data for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. 

EPA states that the requirements to submit an attainment demonstration and associated reasonably available 

control measures (RACM), a reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, contingency measures, and other 

planning State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions related to attainment of the standard shall be suspended 

so long as the Chattanooga Area continues to attain the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS.

Site Changes for 2012

Hamilton County anticipates being funded for one required site in a late implementation phase of the CoreBased Statistical Area near–road monitoring for NO2. This calendar year the Bureau will find an appropriate 

near-road site so that a plan can be implemented quickly once funding is in place.

The Bureau is searching for an appropriate site to move the 470654003 Eastside Utility ozone monitor within a 

one mile radius of the current location. Tightened security has made the site less accessible, and the utility is 

in the middle of a large expansion project.

Additionally, the Bureau will be looking at monitoring sites which can be eliminated in order to reduce costs.

1Historical PM10 data does not reflect a need for PM10 monitoring in this area. 2

PM 2.5 monitoring in the adjacent MSA’s should be sufficient to assess PM 2.5 levels in this 

MSA.

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.

Monitoring Sites Located In Non-MSA/CBSA Areas In Tennessee 
94

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.
