Re:	 Great Falls and Billings Montana Carbon Monoxide Limited Maintenance Plan 

Alternative Monitoring Strategy 

Jl..-1 

Dear Mr. Martin: 

".,.­

Montana is submitting revisions to the State Implementation Plan. This submission contains the 

alternative monitoring strategy for Carbon Monoxide (CO) as allowed under the recently updated 

Great Falls and Billings CO Limited Maintenance Plans (LMP). As you are aware, ambient levels of 

CO in Montana and nationwide have decreased precipitously, mostly due to federal tailpipe 

standards and vehicle fleet turnover. Accordingly, the amount of state and local resources necessary 

to continually confirm trace levels of CO in the affected LMP areas no longer justifies the exhaustive 

and resource intensive use of gaseous CO analyzers for such purposes. 

Montana is interested in ensuring that the affected LMP areas maintain compliance with the 

national ambient air quality standards for CO despite decreasing federal grant support. To that 

end, Montana, in close coordination with EPA Region 8 staff, developed and proposes to use the 

alternative CO monitoring methodology described in the enclosure State of Montana Alternative 

CO Monitoring Strategy. 

This submission contains two copies of the Record of Adoption as required by 40 CFR Part 51, 

Appendix V. Also enclosed are two copies of State of Montana Alternative CO Monitoring Strategy. 

If you have any questions regarding this action, please contact M. Eric Merchant at (406) 444-1457 

or emerchant@mt.gov. 

Sincerely, 

?~CG

PUBLIC NOTICE
 

Alternative Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitoring Strategy
 

Billings and Great Falls CO Maintenance Areas
 

1) The Department of Environmental Quality (Department) is inviting public 

comment on the Department's proposed submission of an alternative CO 

monitoring strategy (Strategy) for the Billings and Great Falls CO maintenance 

areas for EPA's consideration and approval pursuant to the respective CO 

Limited Maintenance Plans. The Billings and Great Falls Limited Maintenance 

Plans are available upon request using the contact information listed below. 

2) Any person may request public hearing on this matter. If the Department 

receives a request for public hearing, a public hearing on this matter will be 

scheduled and the time for that hearing will be announced and another 30 day 

time period for submitting comment will begin. 

3) Interested persons may view the Strategy on the Department's website at 

http://www.deq.mt.gov/pubcom.mcpx or may call the Department at 406-444­

0524 to have a copy made available for their inspection. 

4) The State of Montana makes reasonable accommodations for any known 

disability that may interfere with a person's ability to participate in state 

government proceedings. Persons needing accommodation must contact Oline 

Barta to advise of the nature of the necessary accommodation. Please contact 

Ms. Barta at P.O. Box 200901, Helena, Montana 59620-0901; phone (406) 444­

0524; fax (406) 444-1499; or email"obarta@mt.gov." 

5) Interested parties may submit their comments concerning the proposal 

described above in writing to the Department by 

•	 addressing them to Oline Barta, 1520 E. Sixth Avenue, P.O. Box 200901, 

Helena, Montana, 59620-0901; 

•	 faxing them to (406) 444-1499; or 

• sending them via email addressedto"obarta@mt.gov." 

To be guaranteed consideration, written comments must be postmarked on or 

before 5 p.m. May 31,2012. 
State of Montana Alternative CO Monitoring Strategy
 

Billings and Great Falls CO Maintenance Areas
 

Alternative CO Monitoring Method 

Montana proposes revisions to the existing carbon monoxide (CO) Limited Maintenance Plans 

(LMPs) to adopt alternative CO monitoring methods which do not utilize a traditional gaseous 

analyzer for determining compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for CO in the CO maintenance areas of Billings and Great Falls. As discussed in the 

Billings and Great Falls LMPs (submitted to EPA 7/13/2011), these areas have monitored 

consistently low levels of CO for over a decade. Most notably, none of these areas registered a 

design value (2nd 

max concentration) greater than 33% of the current CO NAAQS from 2006 to 

2009. For this reason, and because there are no foreseen changes that would increase these 

monitor values, the Department believes use of an alternative methodology other than gaseous 

monitoring would be appropriate to monitor maintenance of the CO NAAQS for these areas. 

Montana also believes such a method would not compromise data collection for the NAAQS and 

will continue to meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D. 

The alternative CO monitoring method will include an annual review of the traffic volumes in 

each of the CO maintenance areas using the data from the Montana Department of 

Transportation (MDT) permanent automatic traffic recorders (ATR) in Billings and Great Falls. 

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (Department) will compare the latest rolling 

3-year monthly average of the average daily traffic (ADT) volumes during the traditional high 

CO concentration season of November through February against the baseline ADT average for 

those months established by the ATR data collected during 2008-2010. 

Contingency Plan 

If the ADT in a CO maintenance area increases by greater than 25% when comparing the most 

recent, consecutive rolling 3-year period to the baseline 2008-2010 period, then the Department 

will reinstitute, for that maintenance area, gaseous monitoring at the 2008-20 I 0 monitoring 

location or at a site expected to read greater CO than that site. The monitoring will be conducted 

the following winter during the November to February period and the results evaluated to 

determine if the levels of CO emissions in the area appear to be rising commensurate with the 

increase in ADT. If the monitored 2nd maximum value for the November to February period has 

not increased from the baseline mean by an equal or greater rate at which ADT has increased, 

and the monitor values remain at or below 50% of the CO NAAQS (2nd 

max concentration ~.5

ppm currently), the monitor may again be removed and the ADT counts resumed. This process 

will be repeated each time the ADT increases by a factor of25% (e.g. 50%, 75%) above the 

baseline 2008-2010 period, and the same analysis will be conducted to determine if the monitors 

can again be removed. 

If the percent increase is not greater than 25%, then the ambient CO concentrations will be 

presumed to have remained relatively unchanged.

Annual ADT comparison Analysis 

The baseline traffic volume levels for Billings and Great Falls were established using the 

following data sets: 

Month-Year Billings (#A-050) Great Falls (#A-033) 

January 2008 32,778 34,123 

Februarv 2008 35463 36855 

November 2008 35,832 35675 

December 2008 32042 33,584 

January 2009 33,256 33820 

Februarv 2009 35695 36102 

November 2009 37,121 37110 

December 2009 33,905 34,742 

January 2010 32,340 34,371 

Februarv 2010 34317 36,576 

November 2010 33885 34,164 

December 2010 34,317 34,691 

Averaee 34,246 35,151 

The baseline traffic volumes for the 2008 to 2010 time period, by community, are as follows: 

• Billings 34,246 

• Great Falls 35,151 

For example, in early 2012, using the ATR data from 2011, new rolling averages will be 

calculated for the 2009 to 2011 time period for each community. That new rolling average for 

2009-2011 will be compared to the baseline 2008-2010 average for each community. The ADT 

data review process will be repeated each year during the annual monitoring review and the new 

rolling 3-year average will be compared to the baseline average from 2008-2010.
