Dear Ms. Martinez: ' " '

The purpose ofthis document is to provide information concerning the operation ofthe ambient air monitoring

network by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Air Quality Bureau (AQB) in 2008.

Under 40 CFR, Part 58, Subpart B, States are required to submit an annual monitoring network review to the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office in Dallas Texas. This network plan is required to

provide the framework for establishment and maintenance of an air quality surveillance system. The annual

monitoring network plan must be made available for public inspection for at least 30 days prior to submission to

EPA The plan was posted from May 29, 2009 through July 6, 2009.

No comments were received.

Overview

In 2008 the Bureau operated 30 criteria air pollutant monitoring sites located in 11 ofthe State's 33 counties.

All air monitoring locationsare sited in major population centers or near known pollution sources. The Ambient

Air Monitoring Section is working with a full-time staffofsix; there is one vacancy. '

A co-located ozone monitor was installed at the Navajo Lake site on November 13, 2008.

Network Changes

Anticipated changes to the monitoring network during 2009 include relocation ofthe Rio Rancho site and the

installation of an ozone monitor at the Los Lunas site.

Relocation ofthe Farmington PM site (35-045-0006) was necessary due to an NMED office in September of

2008. The AQS# ofthe new site is (35-045-0019).

Other Projects

Northern air monitoring staff continued a second EPA-sponsored project to collect passive ammonia monitoring

project in San Juan County, New Mexico. This project willhopefully continue for the next two years.

A nephelometer was installed at the Navajo Lake site in 2008.

Summary

The entire monitoring station at Rio Rancho will need to be relocated in the near future. Construction of

apartment units immediately adjacent to the site has impacted siting criteria.

Section staffis still looking for another suitable monitoring location in the Rio Rancho area.

Recently AQB has been involved in communications with the village of Corrales in an effort to find a location

there.
Depending on funding decisions, AQB will scrutinize its investment and operation of all of its monitoring sites

and pollutants. Our intention is to keep focus on pollutants of concernwhile being sureto continue to servethe

needs and to satisfy the expectations ofthe New Mexicocommunities. AQBwill inform RegionVI staff of our

plansearlyin the process to make sure that state and federal priorities continue to be aligned.

Other Issues; Pb Monitoring

According to emissions inventory data, New Mexico has no sources emitting more than 1.0 TNr. In fact, the

valuefromthe highest emitter, the PrewittEscalante Generating Station, is only 0.022 TNr.

As a consequence, NMEDI AQB does not intend to conduct source-oriented monitoring for Pb.

Regarding CBSA-based Pb monitoring, NMEDjurisdictions havenot been deemed as CBSAcandidates.
