D-2 

## Introduction On November 12, 2008 the Environmental Protection A gency (EPA) issued final revisions to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for lead (Pb). EPA revised the level of the primary standard from 1.5 micrograms per cubic mete r (μg/m 3 

### ) to 0.15 μg/m 3 

### , measured as total suspended particulates (TSP), and revised the secon dary standard to be identical in all respects to the primary standard. EPA also promulgated new mon itoring requirements including new design requirements for the Pb NAAQS surveillance network. Monitoring is now required for all Pb sources (source oriented monitoring) that may contr ibute to violations of the Pb NAAQS and/or emit more than 1 ton/year of lead. Monitoring is a lso required in large urban areas for Pb as part of a non source-oriented surveillance network. Acc ording to 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D, monitoring agencies are required to begin source-or iented monitoring by January 1 st 

### , 2010 and are required to identify Pb sources to be monitored and sampling locations in the annual network plan submitted by July 1 st 

### , 2009.



## Public Comments Pursuant to Federal regulations, this plan is to be made available for public inspection and comments for at least 30 days prior to submission t o U.S. EPA. Hard copies of this document were made available on June 1, 2009 at the South Co ast AQMD Public Information Desk in Diamond Bar, CA. The document was also posted to t he public South Coast AQMD website at www.aqmd.gov on June 1, 2009, with links under the South Coast AQMD home page titled “Current Programs, Events and Topics.” Links to th e document are also provided in the “Air Quality” area of the website. The draft document will also be made available to U.S. EPA during this period for review.



## Monitoring Objectives The primary objective for the Pb monitoring network is to provide data on the ambient Pb air concentrations in areas where there is the potentia l for violation of the NAAQS. Revisions to the primary and secondary NAAQS for Pb provide requisit e protection of public health and welfare respectively. Modifications made to the existing ne twork design requirements for the Pb surveillance monitoring network will help to achiev e better understanding of ambient Pb air concentrations near Pb emission sources and to prov ide better information on exposure to Pb in large urban areas.



## Methodology EPA has elected to continue use of current Pb-TSP F ederal Reference Method (FRM, 40 CFR part 50 Appendix G), sampler with no substantive ch anges. The current method is based on the use of a high volume TSP FRM to collect a particula te matter (PM) filter sample and the use of EPA-approved Pb analysis methods. Upon data submi ssion, monitoring agencies must now report the average pressure and temperature during the twenty four hour sample period, and report Pb concentrations using actual flow, rather than standard flow.



## Monitoring Requirements New network design requirements specify that monito ring agencies conduct ambient air Pb monitoring near sources that have the potential to cause Pb concentrations in ambient air in excess of the new NAAQS (0.15 μ g/m 3 

### , 3-month average). Agencies are required to have at a minimum, one source-oriented State and Local Air Mo nitoring Station (SLAMS) site located at

D-3 the maximum expected Pb concentration in ambient ai r resulting from each Pb source that emits 1.0 or more tons/year based on the latest EPA Natio nal Emissions Inventory (NEI) or other scientifically justifiable method or data. The mon itoring location is to be determined based on the modeled the point of maximum impact, taking int o consideration population exposure and logistical considerations. EPA requires at a minim um, one non source-oriented monitor in every Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA) with a populatio n of 500,000 people or more with 15% collocation for all monitors. These monitors are t o be placed in neighborhoods within urban areas impacted by re-entrained dust from roadways, closed industrial sources of Pb, or other fugitive dust sources of Pb. EPA is allowing monit oring agencies to stagger installation of newly required monitors over a two year period. Monitori ng agencies are required to install and operate the required source-oriented monitors by Ja nuary 1 2010. The non source monitors are required to be installed and operated by January 1 2011. The annual monitoring plan due July 1, 2009 must describe the planned monitoring that will begin by January 1, 2010 and the plan due July 1, 2010 must describe the planned monitoring t o take place January 1, 2011. The minimum sampling frequency for the monitoring network remai ns at the current 1-in-6 day sampling frequency.

Background South Coast AQMD currently collects TSP Pb measurem ents at 10 sites (with two sites collocated) as part of an ambient Pb network. This established network meets the EPA requirements for the non source-oriented monitoring network. The spatial distribution of these sites is shown in Figure 1.

In 1990, U.S. EPA requested that the South Coast AQ MD collect ambient air particulate Pb samples near several large Pb handling (battery rec ycling) sources. Long-term source oriented monitoring began in 1991. Quemetco RSR in the City of Industry exceeded the previous federal ambient particulate Pb standard of 1.5 μ g/m 3 

### during the second quarter of 1991. Lead monitoring ended at Martin Brass Foundry Inc. in th e City of Torrance during 1993 when measurements were consistently below the ambient st andard. Sampling also ended at Quenell Enterprises Inc. in the City of Commerce in 2006 wh en the monitoring site was redeveloped. The facility is now owned by Exide Inc, and has rep orted emissions of 0.03007 tons/yr.

South Coast AQMD currently conducts source-oriented monitoring at three facilities. At Exide Inc. in the city of Vernon, Pb emissions are report ed as 1.998 tons/yr and sampling is currently conducted at two sites identified as “Rehrig” and “ ATSF”. The Rehrig location began sampling in November 2007 in response to a request from AQMD compliance staff. The Rehrig site began monitoring on a 1-in-6 day schedule, but samp ling frequency at Rehrig and ATSF was changed to either 1-in-2 or 1-in-3 day between Febr uary and May 2008, and the Rehrig site began daily sampling in May 2008. The monthly aver ages at Rehrig for December 2007 through April 2008 exceeded 1.5 μg/m 3 

### . The results of sampling near Exide are summarize d in Table 1. Monthly averages at Rehrig continue to exceed the n ew Pb NAAQS of 0.15 μg/m 3



### . At Quemetco in the City of Industry, monitoring emi ssions are reported as 0.321 tons/yr and sampling is currently conducted at one site identif ied as “Closet World”. This location monitors on a 1-in-6 day sampling schedule and no exceedance s of the previous 1.5 μg/m 3 

### Pb NAAQS have taken place since 1991. Monthly averages last exceeded the new standard of 0.15 μg/m 3

D-4 in 2005. In 2006, monthly averages ranged between 0.02 and 0.10 μg/m 3 

### . Sampling did not take place in 2007 and most of 2008 due to the loss of a ccess to our sampling location.

At Trojan Battery in Santa Fe Springs monitoring em issions are reported as 0.0145 tons/yr and sampling is conducted at one site identified as “UD DH”. The UDDH site operates on a 1-in-6 day sampling schedule and no exceedances of the 1.5 μg/m 3 

### Pb NAAQS have taken place since 2006. The highest monthly average since 2006 was 0 .23 μg/m 3 

### occurring in May 2007. Since September 2007, all monthly averages have been belo w the new Pb NAAQS of 0.15 μg/m 3



### .

Pb Sources and Emissions EPA National Emission Inventory data from 2005 repo rts that there are three sources of Pb in South Coast AQMD that emit more than 1.0 ton/year ( Table 2). In contrast, the most recent data from South Coast AQMD annual emissions reports (200 6-2007) shows only one source greater than 1.0 ton/year (Table 3). The Quenell Enterpris es facility in the City of Commerce, now owned by Exide has emissions of 0.03007 tons/year a nd Quemetco RSR has reported emissions of 0.321312 tons/yr. Based on these recent emissio ns reports, Exide is the only non-aviation source currently emitting over 1.0 ton/year. The n ew monitoring guidance also requires general aviation sources to be monitored if Pb emissions ex ceed 1.0 ton/yr. General aviation aircraft use leaded aviation fuel and have been identified as a source of Pb emissions. The EPA Technical Support Document, “Lead Emissions from the Use of L eaded Aviation Gasoline in the United States” reports Pb emissions estimates for the gene ral aviation Pb sources across the country. Of these sources, one is located within South Coast AQ MD boundaries; the top five airports above 1.0 tons/year are shown in Table 4. Estimates for airport emissions of Pb for Van Nuys Airport are given as 1.4 tons/year. Current plans are to f ind a suitable location on the grounds of Van Nuys Airport or adjacent property at which to monit or for Pb. The monitor will be sited as close as feasible to the blast fence where the majority o f piston-driven aircraft begin their take-off. Talks are underway with airport management and surr ounding businesses to secure a location, and monitoring is to begin before the end of 2009. The current and planned source-oriented Pb monitoring network site information is included in Table 5 and depicted in Figure 2. Even though Quemetco and Trojan Battery emit less than 1 .0 ton/year Pb, and recent data does not suggest potential exceedances of the new Pb standar d, AQMD will continue monitoring in the coming year to demonstrate compliance with the new Pb NAAQS at these sites.

Rule 1420 Monitoring On September 11, 1992 South Coast AQMD adopted Rule 1420 in order to reduce emissions of lead from non-vehicular sources. The rule applies to all persons who own or operate facilities that use or process Pb containing materials such as primary or secondary Pb smelters, foundries, lead-acid battery manufacturers, or recyclers and l ead-oxide, brass and bronze producers. Requirements include a provision that all facilitie s that process more than 10 tons of lead per year must install, maintain, and operate ambient ai r quality monitoring equipment. Any facility that processes more than 2 tons per year, but less than or equal to 10 tons of Pb per year must determine ambient Pb concentrations by either monit oring or dispersion modeling. Air quality samples must be collected using approved equipment from a minimum of two sampling sites at or beyond the property line of the facility where m aximum ground level Pb concentrations are indicated by air dispersion modeling calculations. Samples are to be collected for 24 hours consecutively for 30 days, and thereafter every 6 th 

### day. Continuous recording of wind speed and

### Air Quality Monitoring Network Plan – July 2009

D-5 direction is required during sampling periods using approved equipment. Samples are submitted to an approved laboratory for analysis. Results ar e reported to South Coast AQMD each calendar quarter and any exceedances are reported w ithin 24 hours of the completed sample analysis.

Results of Rule 1420 sampling conducted by Exide sh ow two occasions between December 2007 and May 2009 when monthly averages were greater tha n 1.5 μg/m 3 

### (Table 1). During January 2009 the North (N) site recorded a monthly average of 1.55 μg/m 3 

### and in March 2009 the monthly average was 2.08 μg/m 3



### . Rule 1420 sampling conducted at Quemetco shows the highest monthly average value recorded between February 2007 and February 2009 was 0.76 μg /m 3 

### just inside the fence line. Monthly means of values taken on the property of Quemetco a re given in Table 6.

Since Rule 1420 monitors are operated by the facili ties and are often located on facility property within the fence line, data collected may not meet the definition of “ambient” and siting may not conform to relevant EPA siting criteria. Therefore they are not designated as SLAMS sites at this time. However these sites will provide data t o aid in the enforcement of regulations designed to meet the new Pb standard.

Source-oriented Monitor Siting Source-oriented micro-scale sites are to be located at the site of maximum ambient impact, taking into account population exposure and logisti cal considerations. In practice, this generally equates to monitoring at the fence line or beyond a t a site that is as close as feasible to point of highest modeled concentrations. Modeling was compl eted for each of source-oriented locations indicating the expected location of maximum impact for Pb. Dispersion modeling for each facility was performed using AERMOD (version 07026) to determine the monthly lead concentrations. The AERMOD default regulatory optio n was used and building downwash was included. AERMAP was used to determine the terrain base elevations for each receptor and source and a hill height scale value for each recep tor. AERSURFACE was used to determine the surface albedo and surface roughness. A Bowen ratio of 1.0 was used, instead of the AERSURFACE output value. This was done because the National Land Cover Data (NLCD) 92 dataset does not include the recent land developmen t projects that occurred within Southern California, which would result in a lower Bowen rat io. AERMET was used to develop the necessary meteorological data for each project usin g the meteorological data from the appropriate monitoring station and upper air soundi ng data collected at the Miramar Naval Air Station. A 100-meter by 100-meter receptor grid cen tered on the facility was used, as well as fenceline receptors placed using 25-meter intervals . All facility boundary, source parameters, and emission rates were obtained from the most recently submitted (Health Risk Assessment) HRA for each facility.

Using the U.S. EPA’s post processor, the maximum 3- month rolling average lead concentration was calculated. The results are plotted in Figures 3, 4 and 5.

### Air Quality Monitoring Network Plan – July 2009

D-6 Exide The most recent Health Risk Assessment (HRA) for Ex ide was prepared in June 2007 using the emission inventory for the 2005/2006 inventory year , which reports a total facility emission of 1.16 tons of lead per year from 18 on-site emission points. The meteorological data from the Lynnwood monitoring station was used. The maximum g round-level lead concentration is 0.88
μ g/m 3 

### and is shown in Figure 3 along with current monito ring locations.

South Coast AQMD will continue to monitor at the Re hrig and ATSF locations. The current sampling schedule for Rehrig and ATSF are daily, an d 1-in-3 respectively. These schedules may be changed over FY 2009-10 to 1-in-6 depending on c ompliance needs. South Coast AQMD may relocate the ATSF sampler in FY 2009-10 to a lo cation closer to the facility where higher concentrations are expected.

Quemetco The most recent HRA for Quemetco was prepared in Ja nuary 2009 based on source tests performed in November 2008. The HRA reports total facility emissions of 0.15 tons of lead per year from 10 on-site emission points. Although the facility includes an on-site meteorological station, the data collected at the station is not s ufficient to use in AERMET. Therefore, the meteorological data from the La Habra monitoring st ation was used. The maximum ground-level lead concentration is 0.03 μ g/m 3 

### . Using the post processor, the concentrations are rounded off to two decimal places. Therefore the maximum lead con centration is not identified at a particular point as there are five receptor locations with the same maximum concentration. Instead, the maximum lead concentration is represented by an are a bounded by the 0.03 μ g/m 3 

### isopleth in Figure 4.

South Coast AQMD will continue to monitor at the Cl oset World location downwind of Quemetco. The current sampling site is located wit hin the maximum modeled isopleth and cannot be located closer to the fence line due to t he proximity of a flood control channel. The Closet World location currently monitors on a 1-in- 6 day schedule.

Trojan Battery Modeling for Trojan Battery was based on the emissi ons reported for the 2006/2007 inventory year, which reports a total facility emission of 0. 04 tons of lead per year from one on-site emission point. The meteorological data from the Ly nnwood monitoring station was used. Since no stack parameters were available, the default par ameters for SCC 31306505, obtained from the US EPA, were used. The maximum ground-level lead c oncentration is 0.04 μ g/m 3 

### . Using the post processor, the concentrations are rounded off to two decimal places. Therefore the maximum lead concentration is not identified at a p articular point as there are two receptor locations with the same maximum concentration. Inst ead, the maximum lead concentration is represented by an area bounded by the 0.03 μ g/m 3 

### isopleth in Figure 5.

South Coast AQMD currently monitors for Pb adjacent to Trojan Battery at a site designated as UDDH. The sampling location is as close to the hig hest modeled concentration area as possible given logistical siting constraints. Sampling will continue to confirm that Pb levels continue to remain below the new Pb NAAQS of 0.15 μ g/m 3 

### . Since emissions from this facility are much

D-7 lower than 1.0 ton/year, and two years of data show no exceedances, this site may be discontinued in FY2009-10.

Pb Non Source Monitors

Non source-oriented monitors are located in urban a reas to gather information on general population Pb exposure. One non source-oriented mo nitor is required in each CBSA with a population > 500,000 as determined by the most rece nt census data. South Coast AQMD currently operates a non source-oriented monitoring network of 10 locations with three collocated sites detailed in Table 7 and depicted i n Figure 1. South Coast AQMD’s current Pb monitoring network exceeds the minimum required mon itoring as part of the final revision to the NAAQS for Pb. Any redesign of this network will be addressed in the 2010 Annual Network Plan.
