An Explanation of Ohio EPA’s Analysis

Promulgated on October 15, 2008 and effective January 12, 2009, U.S. EPA 

strengthened the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for lead from 

1.5 ug/m3

 to 0.15 ug/m3 [73 FR 66964]. Ohio currently has three partial counties 

designated nonattainment for lead. 

As part of the promulgation of this revised standard, an expanded monitoring 

network was deployed by states beginning on January 1, 2010. Currently, Ohio 

has a network of 13 lead monitors that have been in place for a number of years, 

and four new monitors as part of the expanded monitoring network. This 

expanded monitoring network contains source-specific monitors sited at facilities 

with lead actual emissions greater than one ton per year; facilities with less than 

one ton per year of actual lead emissions where dispersion modeling identified the 

potential for emissions to contribute up to 50 percent of the lead standard in air; 

and facilities where existing monitors have shown a violation of the new standard, 

on a three-month rolling average, during 2006, 2007 or 2008. 

Ohio’s initial designation (“first round”) recommendations were submitted to U.S. 

EPA on October 5, 2009. Those designation recommendations were based on air 

quality data collected between 2006 and 2008. U.S. EPA announced the final first 

round designations on November 16, 2010 with publication in the Federal 

Register on November 22, 2010 (75 FR 71033). The first round designations are 

effective December 31, 2010, Under Section 107(D)(1)(b)(i) of the Clean Air Act, 

designations “may be extended by up to one year in the event the Administrator 

has insufficient information to promulgate the designations.’’ [73 FR 67031] As 

part of the first round of designations, U.S. EPA recognized states may not have 

sufficient information from new monitors to make such a determination; therefore, 

U.S. EPA extended the deadline for designations of these areas by one year so 

that data from the new monitors can be considered in the designation decision. 

This submittal is Ohio’s updated recommendation for the “second round” of 

designations. The final decision on the second round of nonattainment area 

designations by U.S. EPA is expected to occur no later than October 15, 2011. 

To determine if an area is attaining or not attaining the lead standard, the air 

quality analysis looks at the rolling three-month average values for each monitor 

for a three-year period. For each evaluated year, twelve rolling three-month 

averages are computed starting with November of the preceding year and ending 

with December of the year being evaluated. Compliance with the lead standard is 

determined over a three-calendar-year period. Any one exceedance of a threemonth average during this period indicates an exceedance of the lead standard. 

Because not all data are available for 20101

 due to the time necessary for 

processing filters under the standard Reference Method, additional designations 

during this second round will be based on the most recent air quality data 

collected to date (2009 data and any data collected, analyzed and quality assured 

for 2010). Any violation of a three-month average during this period indicates an 

exceedance of the lead standard. 

 

1

 At the time of this submittal, 2010 AQS data are available only through August. 
Page 2 of 19

40 CFR Part 50, Appendix R provides the computation methods for the lead 

standard. This regulation requires individual samples be analyzed and a monthly 

mean computed. Under the old lead standard, Ohio EPA analyzed samples using 

a monthly composite method. Therefore, any historical data represented in this 

document use the monthly composite values to compute the rolling three-month 

values. 

In the air quality data presented below, the three-month averages for monitors 

that are violating the standard are highlighted in red. Monitoring sites that were 

missing one or months of a composite analysis in any three-month period or that 

did not meet the 75% capture criteria are highlighted in yellow. 

Data are retrieved from the U.S. EPA’s Air Quality System (AQS) at 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/airs/airsaqs/ and are presented in ug/m3

 in all tables. AQS 

data retrieval sheets are provided in Appendix A. The State and local air 

monitoring stations (SLAMS) data certification report for calendar year 2009 is 

provided in Appendix B. It should be noted that the 2010 monitoring data will not 

be certified by the time this submittal is required. 

Existing Monitors 

Ohio EPA’s 2010 monitoring network design plan retained 13 lead monitors 

across the State. In Ohio’s October 5, 2009 first round designation document, 

only three of these monitors showed violations of the 2008 revised lead standard. 

Therefore, Ohio EPA recommended that these three areas be designated 

nonattainment. Based on the additional data collected to date, and shown below, 

there are no additional nonattainment areas. All other monitors continue to attain 

the 2008 revised lead standard. 

Therefore, Ohio EPA is not suggesting any additional areas monitored by the 13 

retained lead monitors be designated nonattainment based upon the data 

contained in this submittal.

All of September, all of October and part of August 2009 samples from the 

Marietta Victory Place site were not collected. The highest monthly mean value 

between November 2008 (start date for this monitor) and 2010 was 0.0082 ug/m3. 

If this value were substituted for all missing samples, the monthly values, and 3-

month averages, would still be well below the standard of 0.15 ug/m3. 

New Monitors 

Ohio EPA’s 2010 monitoring network design plan included the addition of four 

new lead monitors: 

1. Cuyahoga County monitor 39-035-0072 near American Spring Wire 

2. Marion County monitor 39-101-0003 near Nucor Steel 

3. Stark County monitor 39-151-0017 near Timken 

4. Trumbull County monitor 39-155-0012 near Ellwood Engineering Castings 

The tables below identify all monitoring data collected to date for each of these 

sites. Based on available data, all monitors are attaining the revised standard. 

There were no monthly violations or violations of a three-month rolling average at 

any of these sites. 

Therefore, Ohio EPA is not suggesting that any additional areas monitored by the 

4 new lead monitors be designated nonattainment based upon the data contained 

in this submittal.
