1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document fulfills the obligation, under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Section 58.10(a),

requiring Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to complete and submit to the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) an annual monitoring network plan for the year 2013.

This plan informs EPA (Region 9) of the monitoring activities ADEQ has implemented since July 2012, as well as

activities ADEQ will undertake through December 2014. However, some changes may occur after the plan is

published and approved due to unforeseen events at monitoring sites, funding changes, or changes in EPA

monitoring requirements. Data from ADEQ's monitors are reported to EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) database

and to AIRNow. In 40 CFR 51, EPA requires states to create, submit, and adopt State Implementation Plans (SIPs)

to address the various issues and responsibilities involved with creating and implementing air quality programs.

Subpart J of Part 51 specifies that Part 58 Subpart B contain the requirements for establishing air quality

surveillance systems to monitor ambient air quality.  

Air quality surveillance systems consist of networks of monitors at carefully chosen physical locations referred to

as sites or stations. Some of the networks, sites, and monitors are:

 State and Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS)

 National Core multipollutant monitoring stations (NCore)

 Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS)

 Chemical Speciation Network (CSN)

 National Air Toxics Trends Sites (NATTS)

 Special Purpose Monitors (SPM)  

 Urban Haze monitoring sites

 Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environments (IMPROVE)

 AIRNow information sites

 Source‐oriented monitoring sites operated independently by permittees (Industry)

 Meteorological sites

This Annual Monitoring Network Plan identifies the purpose(s) of each monitor and provides evidence that both

the siting and the operation of each monitor meet the requirements in 40 CFR Part 58 appendices A, C, D, and E

as follows:

 Appendix A – Quality Assurance Requirements for SLAMS, SPMs, and Prevention of Significant Deterioration

(PSD) Air Monitoring

 Appendix C – Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology

 Appendix D – Network Design Criteria for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

 Appendix E – Probe and Monitoring Path Siting Criteria for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

The results of the annual network review and planning are used to determine how well the networks are

achieving their required air monitoring objectives, how well they meet data users’ needs, and how they should

be modified (through termination of existing stations, relocation of stations, establishment of new stations,
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 5

monitoring of additional parameters, and/or changes to the sampling schedule) in order to continue to meet

their objectives and data needs. The annual network review and planning are performed for the purpose of

improving the monitoring networks and ensuring that they provide adequate, representative, and regulatory

compliant air quality data.
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 6

2.0 ADEQ PROGRAM AND NETWORK DESCRIPTIONS

ADEQ operates ambient air quality equipment for a variety of Federal and State monitoring programs. Detailed

descriptions of the equipment deployed for each monitoring program are presented in Appendix C. The

equipment is grouped by monitoring program or network to easily compare instrument specifics across the

programs or networks. Appendix D lists the information about each of ADEQ's current and recently closed

monitoring sites including those sites that ADEQ shares with other agencies or serves as the local site operator.

General information about the monitoring programs in which ADEQ participates is described in the following

sections.

2.1 NAAQS Compliance Network

ADEQ’s compliance network consists of monitoring sites operated for the purpose of demonstrating compliance

with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the “criteria” pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO),

nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), and lead (Pb). The

criteria pollutants are measured using instruments designated by EPA as Federal Reference Methods (FRM) or

Federal Equivalent Methods (FEM). 40 CFR Part 58 specifies the minimum requirements for determining NAAQS

compliance including the following network and site criteria:

 Number and types of monitors required per Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) by pollutant

 Objectives and spatial scales

 Sampling frequency

 Collocation

 Special NCore‐related requirements

 Meteorology

 Probe location and other restrictions within a site

 Periodic performance evaluations

 Quality Assurance

 Data reporting

2.2 State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Maintenance Area Network

ADEQ maintains several air monitoring sites for the purpose of tracking compliance in areas that are currently in

non‐ attainment for one or more of the NAAQS and in areas where the NAAQS has been met but on‐going

demonstration of maintenance is required. Specific monitoring requirements for each of these areas are

described in their respective SIPs and/or Maintenance Plans.

2.3 Source Oriented Network

Several major point sources in the state are required to conduct ambient monitoring for criteria pollutants,

primarily PM10 and SO2, as part of their air quality permit. Some of the monitoring data from these sites are

submitted to AQS. As indicated in the 2012 Network Plan, ADEQ met with Freeport‐McMoRan Copper and Gold,

Inc. (FMMI) to discuss the role of Primary Quality Assurance Organization (PQAO) for the Miami Golf Course

PM10, Miami Townsite SO2, and Miami Jones Ranch SO2 monitors. ADEQ collocated instruments at these sites to
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 7

meet the PQAO requirements for submittal of these data to AQS. ADEQ installed the PM10monitor at the Miami

Golf Course site in fall 2012, and the SO2 monitors at the Miami Jones Ranch site and Miami Townsite in early

2013. Data are being collected from both the FMMI and ADEQ monitors at these sites for at least one year for

comparability analysis and preparation of the comparative data analysis review for submittal to EPA

2.4 NCore Network

EPA describes the nationwide NCore network composed of approximately 70 urban and 20 rural sites as a

multipollutant network that integrates several advanced measurement systems for particles, pollutant gases,

and meteorology. Some of the objectives of the NCore network are:

 Tracking long‐term trends of criteria and non‐criteria pollutants;

 Support for long‐term health assessments that contribute to ongoing reviews of the NAAQS;

 Support to scientific studies ranging across technological, health, and atmospheric process disciplines;

and, support to ecosystem assessments recognizing that national air quality networks benefit ecosystem

assessments and, in turn, benefit from data specifically designed to address ecosystem analyses.

As required by 40 CFR Part 58.13, ADEQ’s NCore site (JLG Supersite) was operational by January 1, 2011. In

addition to the above missions and the NCore monitoring requirements set forth in the CFR, ADEQ will use the

JLG Supersite to test new technologies in various ADEQ monitoring networks. Examples include advanced

communications and serial data collection, remote span checks and calibrations, high sensitivity

instrumentation, and instruments that monitor pollutants that may be added to current CFR requirements.

Additional NCore information is available from the EPA website:

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/ncore/index.html  

2.5 Meteorological Network

ADEQ collects meteorological data at sites throughout the state to support the analysis of ambient air quality

data and to provide support for exceptional event reporting. Meteorological measurements are also required for

the NCore and PAMS networks. ADEQ currently meets the meteorological monitoring requirements for the

NCore and PAMS networks. ADEQ added meteorological instrumentation to most of ADEQ’s monitoring sites

that were not previously equipped and for which there are adequate facilities to support the meteorological

tower and equipment.

2.6 Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS)

Section 182(c)(1) of the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments requires the Administrator to promulgate rules

for enhanced monitoring of O3 that includes concurrent monitoring of O3, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), total

reactive nitrogen (NOy, speciated volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbonyls, CO, and meteorology to obtain

comprehensive and representative O3 data. Immediately following the promulgation of those rules, ADEQ began

to implement a program to improve ambient monitoring activities related to the precursors of O3. The

subsequent revisions to 40 CFR 58 (1993) required states to establish PAMS as part of their monitoring networks

in O3 non‐attainment areas classified as serious, severe, or extreme. The principal reasons for requiring the

collection of additional ambient air pollutants and meteorological data are the widespread non‐attainment of

the O3 NAAQS and the need for a more comprehensive air quality database for O3 and its precursors. ADEQ
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 8

operates three PAMS sites to represent the Phoenix metropolitan area: JLG Supersite (type 2), Queen Valley

(type 3), and VEI (meteorological).

EPA assembled a workgroup to evaluate the current PAMS program and consider the possible re‐invention of

the PAMS program. The scope of the evaluation was extensive and included PAMS objectives, methods, network

design, and quality assurance. ADEQ participates in the PAMS re‐invention process and will continue to follow its

activity closely to be aware of possible future implications for the ADEQ network.

2.7 National Air Toxics Trend Sites (NATTS)

The NATTS network was designed to monitor and record the concentrations of certain air toxics on a national

scale. Data from EPA’s national monitoring activities are used to estimate national average concentrations for

these air toxics compounds and to detect trends. Using this information, EPA, states, and local agencies can

estimate changes the human exposure risks from the various pollutants. Detection of increased human toxicity

risk can then be used to support changes in environmental policy. As part of the National Air Toxics Assessment

(NATA) process, ambient air quality data are used to assess the national toxics inventory and long‐term

hazardous air pollutant (HAP) trends. The ADEQ JLG Supersite is the designated NATTS site for the Phoenix

metropolitan area.

2.8 Chemical Speciation Network (CSN)

The CSN was established to meet the regulatory requirements for monitoring speciated PM2.5 to determine the

chemical composition of these particles. The purpose of the CSN is to determine, over a period of several years,

trends in concentration levels of selected ions, metals, carbon species, and organic compounds in the PM2.5

samples collected at select sites throughout the country. The program began in 1999 with 54 Speciation Trends

Network (STN) sites across the nation located primarily in or near larger MSAs. The network has increased to

around 200 sites nationwide. PM2.5 speciation monitoring at JLG Supersite includes two CSN PM2.5 speciation

samplers and two IMPROVE samplers. The collocated IMPROVE samplers provide precision information for the

IMPROVE network and the data are reasonably comparable to the CSN speciation data. In 2009, the URG 3000N

sampler was added at JLG for collecting the carbon sample in lieu of the Met One SuperSASS, which had been

used to collect all three types of filter samples. The laboratory analysis method for carbon samples collected by

the URG also changed. These changes to the CSN program’s monitoring and analytical design were geared

toward more closely matching the carbon analytes from the CSN sampler to those collected via the IMPROVE

network.

2.9 Class 1 Area Network and IMPROVE Program

The rural visibility monitoring networks track impairment in specified national parks and wilderness areas. These

parks and wilderness areas are called federally mandatory Class 1 areas and were designated based on an

evaluation required by Congress in the 1977 federal CAA Amendments. The evaluation, performed by the United

States Forest Service (USFS) and National Park Service (NPS), reviewed the areas of parks and national forests,

which were designated as wilderness before 1977, were more than 6,000 acres, and to which visual air was an

important resource for the visitor experience. Of the 156 Class 1 areas designated across the nation, 12 are

located in Arizona. Nine sites are located in USFS areas and three in NPS areas. EPA initiated the nationally‐
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 9

operated IMPROVE monitoring network in 1987 whose purpose is to characterize broad regional trends and

visibility conditions using monitoring data collected in or near Class 1 Wilderness areas across the United States.

In addition to the eleven Class 1 sites (two were combined in the past) ADEQ added six other IMPROVE sites

identified as Protocol sites. Refer to section 4.12 and the map in Appendix B for additional details regarding

ADEQ’s Class 1 Visibility and IMPROVE networks.

2.10 AIRNow Reporting  

ADEQ provides data to the AIRNow system. Data currently being submitted to AIRNow on a near‐real time basis

includes O3, continuous PM10 and PM2.5, and SO2 data. ADEQ will continue to expand efforts for data submission

to AIRNow to support the collection and dissemination of nationwide and consistently provided air quality data

in the Air Quality Index (AQI) format that is being used by local weather forecasters, medical facilities, schools

and the general public to make health‐based activity decisions based on the reported local AQI.

2.11 Urban Haze Network

The purpose of the Urban Haze Network is to provide State and Local policy‐makers and the public with

information regarding the urban haze levels, track short‐term and long‐term trends, assess source contributions,

and better evaluate the effectiveness of air pollution control strategies. More than a decade of urban visibility

data has been collected for the Phoenix and Tucson area. ADEQ utilizes transmissometers, particulate monitors,

and/or digital camera systems to evaluate urban visibility. Currently, only the Phoenix metropolitan area urban

visibility is monitored. The existing Phoenix area cameras sites were recently upgraded with higher resolution

cameras. Additional details regarding ADEQ’s Urban Haze Network can be found in section 4.13.  

2.12 E‐BAM Network of PM2.5 Special Purpose Monitors

The current network of special purpose continuous particulate monitors (listed in Table 2.12‐1) is composed of

lightweight, portable E‐BAM monitors typically in self‐contained, environmentally sealed enclosures. They can

be battery or solar powered for operation at sites without fixed electrical power. Data are sampled every second

and concentrations are calculated and recorded every minute. E‐BAM monitors have been used by many

agencies, particularly in the western United States. They provide continuous, real‐time particulate concentration

data that are useful for making informed smoke management decisions related to prescribed burns and wildfire

monitoring. E‐BAM instruments are used only as special purpose monitors. They are not classified as FRMs or

FEMs and may not be used to demonstrate NAAQS compliance. ADEQ uses these monitors primarily in

populated areas that could be impacted by smoke from prescribed burns and wildfires. In 2011 ADEQ configured

the E‐BAM monitors to measure PM2.5 to be consistent with the National Forest Service monitors. Hourly PM2.5

data from the E‐BAM monitors can be viewed at: http://www.phoenixvis.net/PPMmain.aspx.

2.13 Arizona / Mexico Border Network

ADEQ works with the EPA Border Program as part of the U.S. – Mexico Border Air Monitoring Working Group.

This working group is reviewing the air quality monitoring data and air monitoring networks in rural and urban

areas along the border and evaluating the adequacy of these networks. The second priority of this group is to

identify operational and maintenance needs, plan for future capabilities and develop recommendations to

resolve any inadequacies. Through this effort, relationships between EPA, ADEQ, Secretariat of Environment and

Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), and Commission for Ecology and Sustainable Development (CEDES) are

expected to develop, such that data are shared across the border and capacity is built to meet the needs of the

air monitoring program objectives.  
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 11

3.0 MONITORING NETWORK EVALUATION  

This section provides a summary of changes to ADEQ's monitoring networks completed since the 2012 Network

Plan submission; as well as changes planned for July 2013 through December 2014. Any occurrence of

unplanned changes due to emerging need, budget constraints, or other circumstances will be documented in

next year’s Air Monitoring Network Plan. Below is a summary of the planned network changes. Details regarding

these changes can be found in Section 4.  

3.1 Site Closures  

Prescott Valley – Although monitoring began in 2007, the MSA population does not require PM10 nor PM2.5

monitoring in Prescott Valley. Statistical analysis shows that these monitors are reporting concentrations

significantly below the NAAQS. ADEQ is requesting to close both PM10 and PM2.5 monitors at this site at the end

of 2013. See Section 3.5 for statistical analysis in accordance with 40 CFR 58.14(c) (1).

3.2 New Sites Planned

Miami, AZ area SO2 sites – ADEQ added SO2 monitors at existing Freeport‐McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc (FMMI)

sites, Miami Jones Ranch and Miami Townsite. These monitors will be concurrently run along side FMMI

monitors until sufficient data is collected so a comparative analysis can be prepared and forwarded to EPA.   

3.3 Network Changes – Current and Planned

Alamo Lake – This site is currently the background site for the O3 network. The site is sufficiently remote that it is

being configured to be the designated background site for several pollutants.  ADEQ plans to begin operating a

PM2.5 FEM BAM 1020 at Alamo Lake by January 2014. ADEQ also plans to establish this site as a SO2 background

site so that data from this site can be used for background emissions in modeling. ADEQ is currently assessing

the availability of trace‐level SO2 for placement at this site.  

Bullhead City PM10 – ADEQ installed a continuous PM10 TEOM on July 1, 2012 to replace the filter‐based Partisol

2000 FRM.  

Douglas Red Cross PM10 and PM2.5 – ADEQ installed a continuous PM10 TEOM at the Douglas Red Cross site in

October 2012 to meet the required sampling frequency.  It ran concurrently with the Partisol 2000 FRM until it

was removed on January 1, 2013. ADEQ also installed a continuous PM2.5 FEM BAM 1020 in April 2013, which

ran concurrently with the Partisol 2000 FRM until it was removed in July 1, 2013.  

Flagstaff PM10 and PM2.5 – The statistical analysis for Flagstaff shows that PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations are

significantly below the NAAQS and the monitors are not required for this area based on MSA population. ADEQ

is requesting to discontinue both the PM10 and PM2.monitors at the end of 2013. See Section 3.5 for the

statistical analysis in accordance with 40 CFR 58.14(c)(1).

Miami Jones Ranch and Miami Townsite SO2 – ADEQ installed SO2 analyzers at the Miami Jones Ranch and

Miami Townsite in January 2013 to ensure the data are meeting the AQS quality assurance requirements. FMMI

will continue to operate their SO2 monitors until a correlation study between the two sets of monitors can be
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 12

made. ADEQ’s data meet the PQAO requirements and will be used for submittal to AQS. ADEQ will prepare a

report in the summer of 2014 comparing and analyzing these data for submittal to EPA for review and

determination regarding the Miami Ridgeline design value and the continued need for collocated monitors at

Miami Jones Ranch and Miami Townsite.

Nogales Post Office PM2.5 – An FEM BAM 1020 continuous monitor replaced the PM2.5 1‐in‐6 day Partisol 2000

filter‐based FRM as the primary monitor in April 2013. The Partisol 2000 FRM is the QA collocated monitor for

the PM2.5 network.  This QA collocated monitor will operate on a 1‐in‐6 day sampling schedule. ADEQ will

continue to operate the site’s second PM2.5 1‐in‐6 day Partisol 2000 through December 2013.

Paul Spur Chemical Lime PM10 – An FEM PM10 TEOM continuous monitor replaced the PM10 1‐in‐6 day Partisol

2000 filter‐based FRM in April 2012.  

Payson Well Site PM10 – Part of the network planning process is to assess the representativeness of the monitors

for sampling ambient air. There have been several structural changes at the Payson Well Site that are limiting

airflow around this monitor. These include construction of new buildings and growth of trees. ADEQ met with

the site manager to define a more suitable location. By January 1, 2014, ADEQ plans to install a single PM10 FEM

BAM 1020 at Payson Well Site, thereby replacing the collocated Partisol PM10 FRM monitors. As a result, this site

will no longer be collocated for PM10, as there is no collocation requirement for PM10 FEM monitors. ADEQ is

requesting approval by EPA Region 9 in the attached letter for the relocation of the current PM10 monitoring

location (Lat: 34.2294; Long: ‐111.3297) to a parcel 90 meters to the east at location (Lat: 34.2296; Long: ‐

111.3295). The PM10 monitoring will remain on the same property and better meet the required siting criteria.

The AQS Site ID and Site Name will remain the same. Please see Figure 3.3‐1 and Figure 3.3‐2 below for aerial

photographs of the site relocation schematic.

State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 13

Figure 3.3‐2 Google Earth Image of the proposed PM10 monitor location at Payson Well Site

Vehicle Emissions Laboratory ‐ The PAMS re‐engineering workgroup noted the high maintenance cost and

limited use of the Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) and wind profiler data. ADEQ has not been able to

calibrate these instruments for a number of years due to the high cost for maintenance and calibrations (re‐

calibrations estimate is $30,000). ADEQ has discontinued data collection from these instruments, because the

quality assurance requirements cannot be met resulting in unreliable data. Alternatives are being reviewed.

Yuma Supersite PM2.5 ‐ The PM2.5 Partisol 2000 FRM was replaced by an FEM BAM 1020 in July 2013. This site is

also designated as the ADEQ Transport site for the PM2.5 monitoring network.

3.5 Requests for EPA Region 9 Approval to Discontinue Particulate Monitoring at Flagstaff Middle School and

Prescott Valley

In conformance with 40 CFR 58.14(c)(1), ADEQ requests EPA Region 9 Administrator’s approval for the following

network changes:

 The discontinuation of PM10 SLAMS monitors at the Flagstaff Middle School (AQS ID 04‐005‐1008) and

Prescott Valley (AQS 04‐025‐2002) sites,  

 The discontinuation of PM2.5 SLAMS monitors at the Flagstaff Middle School (AQS ID 04‐005‐1008) and

Prescott Valley (AQS 04‐025‐2002) sites. These monitors are “not specifically required by an attainment

plan or maintenance plan.”   

For the PM10 monitor discontinuations, according to 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D Table D‐5, for Flagstaff Middle

School and Prescott Valley, the minimum required number of PM10 monitors for each city is zero. This is based

on populations (MSA) <250,000 (134,421 and 211,033 respectively) and the ambient PM10 data showing ambient

concentrations <120 μg/m3

, which is 80% of PM10 NAAQS (150 μg/m3). The most recent five‐year average

maximum ambient concentration is 43.4 μg/m3 at Flagstaff and 54.6 μg/m3 at Prescott Valley, see Figure 3.5‐1.

For the PM2.5 monitor discontinuation, according to 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D Table D‐5, for Flagstaff Middle

School and Prescott Valley, the minimum required number of PM2.5 monitors for each city is zero. This is based

on a population (MSA) <500,000 (134,421 and 211,033 respectively) and the most recent three‐year design

value <85% of any PM2.5 NAAQS. Eighty‐five percent of the PM2.5 24‐hour NAAQS is 29.75 μg/m3 (0.85 x 35

μg/m3

) and eighty‐five‐percent of the annual PM2.5 NAAQS is 10.2 μg/m3 (0.85 x 12 μg/m3). Flagstaff Middle

School’s most recent three‐year PM2.5 24‐hour design value is 5.2 μg/m3 and the three‐year PM2.5 annual design

value is 12 μg/m3

. Prescott Valley’s most recent three‐year PM2.5 24‐hour design value is 9.0 μg/m3 and the

three‐year PM2.5 annual design value is 4.0 μg/m3

.

Using the last five‐years of certified data and Formula 1 shown below with the appropriate t‐value from section

4.1 of the Network Assessment Guidance 2007 document, Table 3.5‐1 shows that these four monitors each have

a probability of less than 10% of exceeding 80% of the applicable NAAQS during the next three years based on

trends, concentrations, and variability observed in the past.  

Formula 1

t = 2.132  (4 degrees of freedom)

Where is the average design value for the last 5 years, t is the student’s t value for n‐1 degrees of

freedom at the 90% Upper Confidence Limit, s is the standard deviation of the design values, n is the

number of records (i.e., number of design values), and NAAQS is the standard of interest.

4.0 ADEQ MONITORING NETWORKS

The monitoring requirements for the number of sites in the SLAMS networks (including PAMS and NCore) are

described in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D and are typically based on the population of urban areas. Current

minimum monitoring requirements are only associated with MSAs, and there are no minimum monitoring

requirements for Micropolitan Statistical Areas.

4.1 PM2.5 Monitoring Network Requirements

The number of PM2.5 samplers required in urban areas is based on population (see Table 4.0‐1) and design

values for PM2.5 concentrations (see Table 4.1‐1).

The required sample collection frequency is based on the type of sampler and the design value calculated from

data collected at each FRM (filter‐based) or FEM (continuous) sampler (see Table 4.1‐2). 40 CFR Part 58.12 (d)(1)

states the manual PM2.5 sample collection frequency requirement at required SLAMS stations as every third day

at sites without a collocated continuously operating PM2.5 monitor.

ADEQ currently operates EPA‐approved FEM monitors at six PM2.5 monitoring sites. An additional EPA‐approved

FEM monitor will be deployed to the Alamo Lake site in January 2014 and this site will be the designated PM2.5

Background site in the PM2.5 monitoring network. Yuma Supersite is designated as the required PM2.5 Transport

site. ADEQ operates both an EPA‐approved FEM continuous monitor and a Partisol 2000 PM2.5 FRM at the JLG

Supersite fulfilling an NCore requirement. The EPA‐approved FEM sampler is designated the primary PM2.5

monitor for NAAQS compliance purposes.  

Several non‐FEM continuous PM2.5 monitors are also in operation throughout the state, most of which are

associated with the Smoke Management E‐BAM network. See Section 2.12 for additional details on the E‐BAM

network.  

As previously stated, the FRM monitors at Flagstaff Middle School and Prescott Valley are scheduled to operate

through the end of 2013 and be discontinued. ADEQ evaluated the need for PM2.5monitors at Flagstaff Middle

School and Prescott Valley and determined that both monitors can be removed due to the long history of low

concentrations at both sites.  

4.1.1 PM2.5 Collocation Requirements

For the ADEQ PM2.5 network, one site is required to have collocated monitoring. The Nogales Post Office site has

the highest PM2.5 design value in ADEQ’s PM2.5 network and is therefore the designated PM2.5 collocated site.

ADEQ operates both an EPA‐approved FEM continuous instrument and two Partisol 2000 PM2.5 FRM instrument

at the Nogales Post Office site. The FEM BAM 1020 is designated as the primary PM2.5 monitor for this site

enabling ADEQ to exceed the required 1‐in‐3 day monitoring frequency. This combination of instruments also

fulfills the collocation requirement of the PM2.5 network for ADEQ. The second Partisol 2000 PM2.5 FRM

instrument will operate through December 2013.  The QA collocated Partisol PM2.5 FRM operates on a 1‐in‐6 day

monitoring frequency rather than the required 1‐in‐12 day monitoring frequency.

Additionally, ADEQ operates one Partisol 2000 PM2.5 FRM instrument and one continuous PM2.5 FEM monitor at

the JLG Supersite. This PM2.5 FEM is designated the primary instrument as required by NCore. The PM2.5 FEM

monitor is also labeled as an NCore PMcoarse paired monitor. The PM2.5 FRM instrument is labeled as a QA

collocated instrument for the site. Table 4.1‐3 summarizes ADEQ’s PM2.5 collocation requirements.

4.1.2 Relocating Any Violating PM2.5 Monitors

A process for relocating violating PM2.5 monitors is required and described in 40 CFR Part 58.10 (c). It requires

the annual monitoring network plan to document how state 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. The analysis includes 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. The affected agency must document the process for obtaining public comment and include any

comments received through the public notification process within their submitted plan. ADEQ does not intend

to establish community monitoring zones as described in the rule or utilize spatial averaging for comparison to

the PM2.5 NAAQS. A public comment procedure is required prior to relocation of a violating monitor and ADEQ

will utilize the following procedure:

1. Evaluation of the potential replacement site will include review and comparison of available pollutant

data, meteorology, climatology, terrain, and siting characteristics. This information will be documented

in a brief report.

2. Make notice of such a change in the annual monitoring network plan.

3. If the change must be accomplished prior to annual monitoring network plan submittal, ADEQ will make

appropriate notice via the agency Web page and invite participation from the public prior to relocation

of the affected site.

4. Relocation of the monitor.

ADEQ does not have any violating PM2.5monitors that are being considered for relocation.

4.2 PM10 Monitoring Network Requirements

The number of PM10 samplers required in urban areas is based on the population of the area (see Table 4.2‐1)

and design values for PM10 24‐hour concentrations (see Table 4.2‐2). Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima Counties have

delegated authority for their monitoring networks and AQS reporting. ADEQ's PM10 monitoring network includes

the MSAs in all other Arizona counties, as well as the PM10 non‐attainment areas in those counties. ADEQ

operates a PMcoarse monitor (difference method using paired FEM BAM 1020 instruments) in the Phoenix

metropolitan area at the JLG Supersite NCore site. JLG Supersite PM10 concentrations for NCore are provided by

the PM10 FEM BAM 1020.

The monitoring rule in 40 CFR Part 58.12(e) states that for PM10 sites, “...the minimum monitoring schedule for

the site in the area of expected maximum concentration shall be based on the relative level of that monitoring

site concentration with respect to the 24‐hour standard.” ADEQ has transitioned several PM10 monitors from

filter‐based methods to continuous methods and by January 1, 2014 all the primary PM10 monitors in the ADEQ

PM10 network will be continuous methods. Table 4.2‐2 lists the PM10 network site Design Values and Annual

Means.

4.2.1 PM10 Collocation Requirements

There are no collocation requirements for EPA‐approved PM10 FEM monitors. ADEQ has transitioned the PM10

network to continuous FEM monitors. ADEQ does operate an additional Partisol 2000 FRM at the Nogales Post

Office site. While the FEM is designated as the primary PM10 monitor, the Partisol monitor is designated a QA

collocated PM10 instrument. Table 4.2‐3 summarizes ADEQ’s PM10 collocation requirements.

The minimum monitoring requirements for O3 are shown above in Table 4.3‐1. ADEQ operates a network of

seven O3 monitors throughout Arizona (see Table 4.3‐2). ADEQ is updating the O3 network with remote

zero/span/precision checks utilizing the Teledyne T703 UV Photometric O3 Calibrator with Internal Zero Air

Pump and External Zero Air Shut‐Off Valve. This will allow Air Monitoring Staff to more efficiently maintain the

O3 network while minimizing travel time during the O3 season and avoiding calibration during the peak hours of

the day when O3.levels are highest. Additionally, the Counties of Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal also operate O3

monitors.

4.3.1 O3 Season

In accordance with 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D, Paragraph 4.1(i), “Deviation from the [January‐to‐December] O3

monitoring season must be approved by the EPA Regional Administrator, documented in the annual network

plan, and updated in AQS. Information on how to analyze O3 data to support a change to the O3 season in

support of the 8‐hour standard for a specific state can be found in reference 8 to this appendix” Reference 8

refers to the Guideline for Selecting and Modifying the Ozone Monitoring Season Based on an 8‐hour Ozone

Standard. In compliance with this document, ADEQ analyzed the most recent six years of O3 data (2007‐2012 O3

data from ADEQ sites) to create the chart in Figure 4.3‐1, which is the basis of ADEQ’s request for modifying the

O3 season to March through October. The only two days in October > 75 ppb occurred in 2009, which included

an unusually high number of exceedance days. The O3 season was extended in 2012 to include March because

some parts of Arizona begin experiencing low concentrations of O3 in March. ADEQ does additional monitoring

in the off‐season of November – February for its own purposes; however, those data are not being reported to

the AQS database. The JLG Supersite will continue to operate on a January to December schedule.

4.4 Pb Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ has operated three source‐oriented TSP Hi‐Vol Pb monitors between the Globe Highway site (collocated)

and the Miami Golf Course site since January 2011. For the NCore‐Pb requirement, ADEQ uses the same PM10

metals speciation sample that is used for the NATTS program. Eastern Research Group (ERG) currently analyzes

these samples and on June 1, 2012 received EPA approval for the ICP‐MS analysis method for lead in PM10. No

changes in the actual monitoring or analysis method will occur for Pb‐PM10 data collected at JLG Supersite;

however, parameter code 85129 and method code 202 are now associated with these data in AQS.

4.4.1 Pb Collocation Requirements

ADEQ’s Pb network requires only one collocated site. The Globe Highway site located in Hayden, AZ has the

highest design value in the Pb network and is therefore the collocated site. Although ADEQ monitors NCore‐Pb

at the JLG Supersite, collocated NCore‐Pb sites are determined by the EPA and JLG Supersite is not a designated

NCore‐Pb collocated site. Table 4.4‐1 summarizes ADEQ’s Pb collocation requirements.

4.5 SO2 Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ operates a network of five SO2 monitors throughout Arizona. Authority to operate SO2monitors has also

been delegated to Maricopa and Pima counties. Sources, ASARCO LLC and Freeport‐McMoRan Copper & Gold,

Inc., also operate SO2 monitoring networks in Gila County for permit compliance and to support SIP

requirements. ADEQ is currently negotiating with both companies to ensure that the monitors are operated

under the required quality assurance requirements.  For Miami, ADEQ runs the Miami Ridgeline site and recently

added collocated SO2 monitors at the Miami Townsite and Jones Ranch sites, which FMMI has been monitoring.

For Hayden, ADEQ currently operated a SO2 monitors at Hayden Old Jail. ADEQ initiated discussions with

ASARCO LLC regarding Globe Highway and Montgomery Ranch on the best means to meet the PQAO

requirements.

*Design Value not available; monitoring began February 2013

The SO2 monitoring requirements in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D are based on a Population Weighted Emissions

Index (PWEI) calculated for each CBSA. CBSAs with PWEIs greater than 5,000 require at least one SO2 monitor

while CBSAs with PWEIs greater than 100,000 require a minimum of two SO2 monitors. The Phoenix and Tucson

metropolitan areas are the only areas within the state of Arizona that require ambient monitoring of SO2. These

SO2 monitors are operated by Maricopa County and Pima County respectively. ADEQ installed SO2 monitors at

Freeport McMoRan’s Jones Ranch and Miami Townsite sites in February 2013. Data from these monitors will be

reported quarterly to EPA’s AQS database. ADEQ does operate a trace‐level SO2 monitor at its NCore site (JLG

Supersite), as required by 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D.

4.6 NO2 Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ operates only one NO2 monitor throughout the state of Arizona. This NO2 monitor is located at the JLG

Supersite and is operated to fulfill a PAMS requirement.   

The NO2 monitoring requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D are based on a combination of CBSA

population and Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts. The first requirement to be considered is the CBSA

population. CBSAs with populations greater than 500,000 are required to operate one near‐roadway monitor,

while CBSAs with populations greater than 2.5 million are required to operate two near‐roadway monitors.

Additionally, CBSAs with populations greater than 500,000 and containing roadway segments with 250,000 or

greater AADT require two near‐roadway monitors. As can be seen in table 4.0‐1, two CBSAs within Arizona

(Phoenix and Tucson Metro areas) contain populations greater than 500,000, and therefore, require at least one

NO2 near‐roadway monitor. The Phoenix CBSA exceeds 2.5 million in population; therefore, two near‐roadway

monitors are needed in the Phoenix CBSA. Pima and Maricopa Counties will operate the required near‐roadway

monitors in Tucson and Phoenix, respectively.  

In addition to the near‐roadway monitoring requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D, there is also a

requirement for area‐wide NO2 monitoring. CBSAs with populations of one million or more require one NO2

monitor to measure NO2 concentrations that represent neighborhood or larger spatial scales. The Phoenix

metropolitan area is the only area within the state of Arizona that requires ambient monitoring of NO2. The
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 27

current NO2 monitors operated by Maricopa and Pima Counties meeting the current monitoring requirements

set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D. ADEQ will continue to monitor NO2 at JLG Supersite as part of the NOx

measurements required by the PAMS program. The NO2 monitor at JLG Supersite has an annual mean of 18 ppb

and a three‐year 1‐hour design value of 55 ppb; see Table 4.6‐1.

4.7 CO Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ operates only one CO (carbon monoxide) monitor throughout Arizona. This CO monitor is located at the

JLG Supersite and has sufficient sensitivity to monitor trace levels. This CO monitor fulfills NCore as well as PAMS

monitoring requirements. Maricopa and Pima counties operate the other required CO monitors within the State

of Arizona. The Phoenix population exceeds the one million population requirement set forth in 40 CFR Part 58

Appendix D, therefore one CO monitor is required to be collocated with a near‐road NO2 monitor. The required

near‐roadway monitor in Phoenix will be operated by Maricopa County. The most recent census data show the

Tucson MSA is below one million and therefore near‐road CO monitoring is not required. The Trace‐Level CO

(COTL) analyzer that is currently operated by ADEQ exceeds the minimum monitoring requirements for the

NCore and PAMS network design criteria set forth in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix D. Due to the low range at which

the JLG COTL analyzer operates, ADEQ urges some caution be exercised when utilizing these data for the

purpose of NAAQS compliance. Under most circumstances, the data would be used to determine compliance

with the CO NAAQS.  However, due to the consistently low ambient concentrations, the trace‐level analyzer’s

operating range is set at 0‐5 ppm, which is the range most frequently measured at JLG.  This operating range is

well below the CO NAAQS of 9 ppm, therefore, when/if under certain rare circumstances, the CO concentrations

are > 5 ppm, determining compliance with the CO NAAQS may not be possible, because measurement

uncertainty increases and becomes challenging to statistically quantify. Table 4.7‐1 contains the most recent

Design Values for CO at JLG Supersite.

4.8 PAMS Monitoring Network Requirements

Network design and monitoring requirements for PAMS stations are provided in 40 CFR 58 Appendix D for areas

classified as serious, severe, or extreme non‐attainment for O3. Two sites are required for each area, providing

all chemical measurements are made. Measurements include speciated VOCs, Carbonyls, NOx, trace‐level

reactive oxides of nitrogen (NOy), CO, O3, surface meteorology, and upper air meteorology. In 2008, EPA

shortened the PAMS monitoring season to June through August.

ADEQ's PAMS network consists of two ambient air monitoring sites in the Phoenix‐Mesa‐Scottsdale MSA and a

meteorological site for the collection of upper air meteorological data and solar radiation data.  

JLG Supersite – Type 2 PAMS Site

The JLG Supersite was designated a PAMS site in 1999. Since the required manual method of eight three‐hour

canisters running daily is impractical due to increased expenses for staff, shipping, and analysis, ADEQ returned

in 2008 to the 2006 monitoring schedule of a 24‐hour canister sample every sixth day at the JLG Supersite during

PAMS season for VOCs. This will be reviewed when the final results of the PAMS re‐engineering program are

available which is anticipated to include recommendations for changes to monitoring and new types of

instruments. ADEQ also operates carbonyl, O3, CO, NOx, and surface meteorological monitoring equipment at

JLG Supersite (see Table 4.8‐1). Carbonyl monitoring at JLG Supersite is not currently required for PAMS, but

because carbonyls are considered important for PAMS, there are no current plans to discontinue carbonyl

monitoring at JLG Supersite.

Queen Valley – Type 3 PAMS Site

Queen Valley was designated a PAMS site in 2001. The site is located near the southeastern edge of the

photochemical modeling grid domain and is considered to be downwind of the source of maximum precursor

emissions in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Pollutants collected at the site include: speciated PAMS VOCs, O3,

total reactive NOx, and surface meteorology measurements. ADEQ’s Five‐Year Network Assessment identified

the Queen Valley site as not meeting PAMS monitoring requirements due to the lack of meteorological

measurements. Meteorological instrumentation was added during the second quarter of 2011. Carbonyl

samples are not required at Type 3 sites. Table 4.8‐2 lists the instrumentation and monitoring schedule at the

Queen Valley site.

Vehicle Emissions Laboratory – Upper Air Meteorology Site

This site is intended to be a meteorological ‘supersite’ and includes a pyranometer to measure total solar

radiation, UV solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, differential temperature (2 meters and 10 meters),

and relative humidity. The National Weather Service (NWS) site at nearby Sky Harbor Airport collects barometric

pressure and precipitation measurements. A Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) and a Wind Profiler had

also been collecting continuous upper air meteorological data for determination of mixing heights since 1998

until July 2012. The PAMS re‐engineering workgroup noted the high maintenance cost and very limited use of

the RASS and Wind Profiler data and unofficially recommended against its continued use – particularly if usable

data is available from other sources. ADEQ considered the high operational cost and very limited data use when

deciding to discontinue its operation. EPA is currently exploring the possibility of using mixing height data from

some of the 1,000 ceilometers recently placed in use by NOAA.

4.9 NCore Monitoring Network Requirements

EPA has identified JLG Supersite as the required NCore site for the Phoenix metropolitan area. JLG Supersite has

been a multipollutant monitoring site since its establishment in 1993. Currently, several monitoring programs

are supported at this site, including: SLAMS, PAMS, NATTS, CSN, and meteorology. The required NCore

parameters are listed in Table 4.9‐1. The required NCore monitors were operational by January 1, 2011. EPA

approved ADEQ's NCore monitoring plan submitted in 2009, but did not grant the waiver requesting to

substitute NOx monitoring for NOy. The NCore‐Pb requirement is being met by using the current PM10 metals

speciation sampler (PM10 Partisol 2000) and associated samples. ADEQ recently received notice that the ERG

analysis method for PM10 metals speciation was approved as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) for the analysis

of Pb. While there will be no physical changes to the instrumentation or analysis method for Pb at the NCore

site, the parameter code 85129 and method code 202 are now associated with Pb‐PM10 data in AQS.

4.10 SIP Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ, along with other delegated agencies, are responsible for the preparation and submittal of SIPs for non‐

attainment and maintenance areas in Arizona. ADEQ is responsible for conducting ambient air monitoring for

areas not included within Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties or tribal lands. Permitted sources are also

responsible for monitoring air quality, if it is included in their air quality permit. Some monitoring sites are

specifically named in the area’s SIP; other monitoring sites are not specifically named, but are representative of

the air quality in that SIP area. Table 4.10‐1 lists the ADEQ and source‐operated monitors used to determine SIP

compliance.

4.11 Source Compliance Monitoring Network Requirements

ADEQ requires select major and minor point sources in the state to conduct ambient monitoring for selected

pollutants in and around their facilities. Some requirements are for prevention of significant deterioration (PSD)

monitoring prior to operation of the facility. Other monitoring requirements are for the duration of the permit

or timeframe specified therein. ADEQ activities have been limited to regular performance audits of instruments

at some of these sites and review of ambient monitoring data submitted according to the permit requirements.  

Sources are required to review and validate their data and submit quality assurance documents to ADEQ with

the data. Table 4.11‐1 lists the monitors operated by ADEQ permitted sources.

Any data submitted to AQS needs to be performed by a Primary Quality Assurance Organization (PQAO) that

meets all the quality assurance requirements. Data from the ASARCO and FMMI monitors are being submitted

to AQS to use for regulatory decisions. In spring 2012, ADEQ send letters to ASARCO and FMMI discussion the

PQAO requirements and suggesting that they meet with ADEQ to discuss options.  FMMI representatives met

with ADEQ, and in January 2013, ADEQ collocated monitors at the existing FMMI’s Miami Jones Ranch and

Miami Townsite sites in the Miami, AZ area. ADEQ has also contacted ASARCO LLC to discuss similar changes.  

Except for potential changes to the Miami and Hayden area networks noted above, the only other change in the

source compliance monitoring network includes the discontinuation of source operated PM10 monitors in Rillito.

ADEQ has operated a continuous PM10 TEOM in Rillito for several years; therefore, PM10 monitoring conducted

by the source was determined to be redundant and unnecessary.

4.12 Class 1 Visibility Network

As stated previously, visibility monitoring networks track impairment in specified national parks and wilderness

areas called Class 1 areas based on designations made by the 1977 CAA Amendments. The evaluations,

performed by the USFS and NPS, reviewed the wilderness areas of parks and national forests which were:

designated as wilderness before 1977, were more than 6,000 acres in size, and had visual air quality as an

important resource for visitors. Of the 156 Class 1 areas designated across the nation, 12 are located in Arizona.  

For the Class 1 areas designations, EPA initiated a nationally operated monitoring network in 1987, called the

Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) program. The purpose of this network is

to characterize broad regional trends in visibility conditions using monitoring data collected in or near Class 1

areas across the United States. Originally, the national IMPROVE network was made up of approximately 30 sites

at Class 1 areas. During 1999‐2000 the number of sites increased to approximately 110. ADEQ, Pima County, and

federal land managers at Arizona's Class 1 areas cooperatively operate the visibility monitoring network in

Arizona. The current network is described in Table 4.12‐1. In addition to the Class 1 IMPROVE monitors listed in

Table 4.12‐1, ADEQ also operates one IMPROVE monitor at the Douglas Red Cross site, and two collocated

IMPROVE monitors at the JLG Supersite. The JLG Supersite serves as an urban IMPROVE monitor and has been
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 35

used to provide comparative analysis with data from the CSN network. The Douglas Red Cross site may serve

multiple objectives.  In 2012, a review of the data from the Douglas Red Cross site was prepared by Air Resource

Specialists and provided to ADEQ. These data will be used to evaluate if this site should be continued or if it

could be better utilized at another location. See the IMPROVE map in Appendix B for a spatial representation of

the IMPROVE monitoring network and Class 1 areas within the state of Arizona.

4.13 Urban Haze Monitoring Network

ADEQ began studying the nature and causes of urban haze by conducting studies during the winter of 1989‐90 in

Phoenix and during the winter of 1992‐93 in Tucson. These studies recommended long‐term, year‐round

monitoring of visibility. In 1993, ADEQ began deploying visibility monitoring equipment in Phoenix and Tucson.

Executive Order 2000‐3 directed by the Governor’s Brown Cloud Summit was to establish options for a visibility

standard or other method to track progress in improving visibility in the Phoenix area. The Summit concluded

that a daily visibility index for the metropolitan area should have its characteristics defined through a public

survey process. This process called for a representative cross‐section of residents of Area A (as described in

House Bill 2538, roughly the Phoenix metropolitan area), to determine what visual air qualities are desirable,

what visual range is acceptable, and how often the combination of acceptable visual range and air quality is

preferred. Through a series of meetings in 2002 and early 2003, ADEQ and the Visibility Index Oversight

Committee designed the visibility survey, selected a contractor to conduct the survey, oversaw the completion

of the field portion of the survey, and defined a recommended visibility index. The Visibility Index Oversight

Committee Final Report was issued in early 2003 summarizing the visibility index.
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 36

Equipment currently used to evaluate urban visibility includes transmissometers, nephelometers, and digital

camera systems. The Phoenix urban haze network consists of a transmissometer for measuring light extinction

along a fixed path length of four and a half kilometers, three nephelometers for measuring light scattering, and

five digital camera systems to record visual characteristics of the urban area.  

The Tucson urban haze network was shutdown in September 2010. In early 2011, a draft summary report was

written which summarizes the nephelometer and transmissometer data that were collected since 1997. The

report provides summaries and trends in urban visibility data, as well as meteorological data summaries in the

form of wind roses. This report is meant to serve as a final data summary for the Tucson Urban Haze network.

Information from this report may be utilized in the future if further modifications are needed to the Urban Haze

Network.  

The current Phoenix urban haze sites (and their status) are described in Table 4.13‐1. ADEQ continues to

evaluate the Urban Haze program. The high‐resolution images from these cameras can be viewed online at

4.14 Meteorology Monitoring Network
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 37

ADEQ operates meteorological equipment at selected sites throughout its network; see Table 4.14‐1. Some sites

were originally established because other meteorology networks (NWS, AZMet, etc.) were not located near

ADEQ's ambient air quality sites. As recommended in ADEQ’s Five‐Year Network Assessment, ADEQ has begun

to expand the meteorology monitoring network and standardize the meteorological measurements so that all

sites collect measurements of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and relative humidity. Currently, Ajo

and Douglas Red Cross are the only meteorological sites that do not have the full suite of meteorological

instruments. A temperature and/or RH probe may be added to these sites within the next year to compliment

the current measurements of wind speed and wind direction.

Except for the items mentioned above ADEQ does not have any specific plans to make changes to the

meteorological network, but may add additional meteorological equipment at existing SLAMS sites as resources

permit. At this time, ADEQ plans to only submit meteorological data that are required by 40 CFR Part 58.16 to

EPA’s AQS database. If future resources allow additional meteorological data submittals to the AQS database,

ADEQ may do so on a voluntary basis. A spatial representation of ADEQ’s meteorological monitoring network

can be found in Appendix B.

5.0 MONITORING PLAN QUALITY ASSURANCE

All environmental data operations (EDOs) contain some level of uncertainty or error. The total measure of

uncertainty is the sum of measurement and population uncertainty. Measurement uncertainty relates to how

accurately a pollutant’s concentration was measured, or sampled, and occurs during the data collection process.

Population uncertainty relates to how well the measurements of a pollutant from a particular air monitoring

station represent the population deemed at risk. Measurement uncertainty is kept within tolerable limits by

adhering to stringent operating requirements established by the EPA, or in‐house by ADEQ, for each specific air

monitoring network. Population uncertainty is kept within tolerable limits by establishing monitoring sites at the

best possible location to achieve the monitoring objective.  

5.1 The Quality System

To ensure high quality data are produced, ADEQ maintains a quality system as required by EPA. EPA specifies the

quality assurance (QA) requirements for SLAMS, SPMs, and PSD air monitoring programs in 40 CFR 58 Appendix

A. Components of the Air Assessment Section's (AAS) quality system include, but are not limited to, the use of:  

 Quality assurance program/project plans (QAPP) with supporting standard operating procedures,

 Data quality objectives (DQOs) and/or data quality indicators (DQIs) that specify the amount of tolerable

error and establish the precision, bias and completeness requirements for the data,

 Measurement quality objectives (MQO) and associated quality control (QC) checks on air monitoring

instruments,

 Data quality assessments that provide statistical evaluation of data collected and certified annually for the

specific purpose of each air monitoring station or network,

 A variety of regularly occurring audits, or assessments, for technical and/or management systems, and

 Data validation and reporting requirements that keep data comparable with other air monitoring

organizations’ networks.

ADEQ is the primary quality assurance organization (PQAO) for the criteria pollutant air monitors operating at

ADEQ’s SLAMS and SPM network stations unless otherwise noted. The precision and bias results from QC checks

such as verifications, performance evaluation (PE) audits, and national performance evaluation program audits

apply to ADEQ’s data only. Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties are each designated as a PQAO by EPA Region 9

for the data they produce and the Tribal monitoring organizations work with EPA directly to establish PQAO

designations for data produced on Tribal Land. ADEQ uses precision and bias data from air monitoring

instruments to assess how well they achieve established DQOs. Precision is defined as the measure of mutual

agreement among individual measurements of the same property usually under prescribed similar conditions,

and it is the random component of error. Precision data are generated from collocated sites and QC checks

performed by the Air Monitoring Unit (AMU). Bias is the systematic or persistent distortion of a measurement

process, which causes error in one direction. It is determined by estimating the positive and negative deviation

from the true value as a percentage of the true value. Bias data are generated from EPA and in‐house PE audits.
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 40

The measurement uncertainty among ADEQ stations monitoring for the same pollutant is expected to be

reasonably homogeneous because such stations operate under a set of common factors needed to effectively

operate as a PQAO. Common factors typically include:

 Stations being operated by a common team of field operators and according to a common set of field

standard operating procedures (SOPs),

 Common calibration facilities and standards,

 Use of a common quality assurance program/project plan (QAPP),

 Oversight by a common quality assurance organization, and

 Support by a common management, laboratory, or headquarters.

5.1.1 ADEQ Quality Assurance Staff

The AAS QA Team is housed in the Data Management & Quality Assurance (DM&QA) Unit and is composed of

two full‐time employees dedicated to QA/QC activities. The QA/QC Lead is a member of ADEQ's agency level QA

team. The QA Team provides oversight and guidance on air monitoring activities to help ensure EPA's QA

requirements are met. The QA Team primarily interacts with personnel from the AMU, which includes the Air

Filter Laboratory (AFL). Detailed information on the QA Team’s activities is documented via an Annual Audit

Report. The QA Team responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

 Coordinating the preparation of quality documents such as Quality Assurance Program or Project Plans

(QAPPs). QAPPs are supported by SOPs that define how to operate air monitoring instruments, handle

and process samples, and manage data. Two variations of QAPPs apply to ADEQ:

o Program plans, which describe the air monitoring networks that are essentially “permanent”

with no known end dates and are associated with data used for NAAQS compliance or for other

national programs with specialized purposes, and  

o Project Plans, which describe the air monitoring stations or networks that are limited in scope

and duration and are usually operated for special projects  

 Reviewing documents such as chain‐of‐custody forms, air sample records, and various instrument

performance reports that relate to DQOs and/or MQOs.

 Managing the field audit program, which include conducting PE audits and coordinating with the EPA

national performance evaluation program auditors for PM2.5, Pb, and gaseous monitors,  

 Conducting Technical Systems Audits (TSAs) on ADEQ air monitoring programs and laboratory services,

and

 Monitoring third‐party laboratory performance on TSAs conducted by EPA or other government

agencies such as the Arizona Department of Health Services.

5.1.2 ADEQ Quality Documents

The Quality Management Plan

ADEQ has an agency‐level Quality Management Plan (QMP), managed by the ADEQ Safety and Quality

Management Specialist, who report to the Office of Administrative Counsel in the Administrative Services
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 41

Division. In 2010, the QA/QC Laboratory Services Manager submitted an updated QMP to EPA Region 9. The

Region 9 Quality Assurance Administrator approved this version in November 2010. The QMP describes the

management processes ADEQ uses to maintain a quality system that supports programs involving

environmental data and technology. The QMP is an “umbrella” document that details, in broad terms, the

strategies used to carry out QA/QC in environmental data collection activities conducted by ADEQ.

The Quality Assurance Program/Project Plans

Per EPA Region 9 guidance, a draft comprehensive program plan was submitted to EPA Region 9 in November

2001, but this document was never approved. This document provided a broad overview of all air monitoring

programs AAS operates. This document is being replaced by individual program plans, which provide more

details for each major air monitoring program, or network. ADEQ develops project plans as needed for special

studies, but these plans do not necessarily have to be submitted to EPA Region 9 for approval. Project plans may

involve single or multi‐pollutant monitoring and they may refer to the appropriate program plan(s) for the

pollutant(s) being measured to reduce duplication of effort. In 2013, personnel within the AAS are diligently

working to meet EPA’s requirement of all program QAPPs updated or developed and approved by EPA Region 9

as soon as possible. EPA requires that QAPPs be updated every five years.

ADEQ developed an Interim Final Pb QAPP that was approved by EPA Region 9 in October 2011 and the Final Pb

QAPP was completed and approved by Region 9 in January 2013.

ADEQ submitted a Final PM QAPP to Region 9 in June 2013 and Region 9 approved this QAPP in August 2013.

ADEQ plans on adding any supplemental PM speciation air monitoring information as an addendum in 2014.

In 2013, ADEQ plans to produce individual gaseous pollutant network QAPPs for SO2, O3, NO2, and CO. We

anticipate that producing a smaller QAPP for each gaseous network will be more expedient than trying to

develop a comprehensive gaseous pollutant network QAPP.

EPA Region 9 approved the National Air Toxics Trends Stations, (Urban) Air Toxics Monitoring Program, &

Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (NATTS/ATMP/PAMS) QAPP in February 2008. This QAPP is

scheduled for update and submittal in 2013 and will include the QA/QC for the meteorological network.

ADEQ plans to use the pollutant‐specific QAPPs for each parameter measured at its NCore station.

The EPA produces a QAPP for the Chemical Speciation Network (CSN) PM2.5 monitoring program. In 2010, the

QA Lead at EPA OAQPS updated the 2001 version of the speciation trends network QAPP with input from the air

monitoring community. The draft of this QAPP was made available to the air monitoring community at Research

Triangle Institute’s (RTI) website and is also saved on ADEQ’s shared drive with other program QAPPs. ADEQ

follows the EPA QAPP for operating this network; however, any specific information regarding how ADEQ

operates the two Met One samplers used for collecting these filter samples will be provided in ADEQ’s technical

SOPs and addendums added to the PM QAPP regarding any specifics for this EDO.  

Air Monitoring SOPs for ambient air monitors are either stored at monitoring sites with storage capability or in

the AMU technician’s service vehicle. Air Assessment Section SOPs are scheduled for update annually and follow
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 42

the format provided by EPA in the Guidance for Preparing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) EPA QA/G‐6.

SOPs are submitted for EPA Region 9 review with their relevant QAPP.

The Document Control System

In 2012, the DM&QA Unit produced two new administrative SOPs regarding the SOP development and

document control processes. The SOPs provide guidance to personnel creating, editing, and archiving SOPs.

These documents included a new alphanumeric identification system and use a centralized storage location for

the electronic versions of QAPPs and SOPs. This was implemented to ensure QA documents are easily assessable

for all AAS personnel and will improve the usability of each SOP while streamlining the writing and review

efforts.  In 2013, the DM&QA Unit produced a new administrative SOP for the corrective action program.  

5.2 Measurement Quality Checks

Precision, Bias, and Completeness Measurements

QC checks are performed by the DM&QA Unit’s QA Auditor and generate data used to assess the quality of the

ambient air data collected by AAS. As previously stated, these QC checks assess how well an air monitoring

network is operating in order to quantify the amount of measurement error present in the data from field

operations. EPA publishes the requirements for measurement quality checks in 40 CFR Part 58 Appendix A.

The verifications and PE audits generate quality control data used to assess the amount of precision and bias

introduced into air quality data by the monitoring process. Collocated monitors generate precision data as well.

These data are reviewed regularly to determine if the quality of the ambient air data meet their intended

purpose and to survey how well monitoring networks are meeting the QA requirements for precision, bias, and

completeness as required in 40 CFR Part 58. The information gained from precision and bias data is important

for data certification and user purposes. Following reviews, the data are uploaded to the AQS database per 40

CFR 58 requirements for criteria pollutants. Statistical evaluations of the QC data are available in several reports

generated by the EPA’s AQS database. These reports include the AMP 255 ‐ Data Quality Indicator Report, the

AMP 455 NC ‐ Quick Look All Parameters and the AMP 600 ‐ Data Certification Report.

Currently, the digital flow and gas standards used by AMU and QA are annually certified, or verified, to the

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable standard. The standards used by QA for criteria

pollutant gases are NIST‐certified annually and the O3 standards are NIST‐certified twice per year. The VOC

samplers are calibrated annually by ATEC and NIST‐certified annually by ERG. The carbonyl samplers are

currently calibrated annually by ATEC and NIST‐certified annually by either ATEC or ERG. For detailed

information on the air monitoring instrument, or method, used at each site, see Appendix C and D. Table 5.1

shows the frequency and type of measurement quality checks performed on ADEQ monitors.

5.3 Calculations and Reporting

ADEQ submits the required precision and bias report(s) to Region 9 in the annual Certification Letter per

certification guidelines and CFR requirements. As stated above, all collocated particulate mater (PM)

measurements are submitted quarterly to AQS as POC 2. AQS then calculates the precision statistics. The PM

flow verification data and gaseous biweekly precision check data are submitted quarterly as precision records.
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 43

Audit data for both PM and gas monitors are also submitted quarterly. ERG and RTI laboratories submit QC

check information for the NATTS and CSN program, respectively. The EPA reports the NPAP and PEP QC results

to AQS.

ADEQ Rankings in EPA Program Reports

Periodically, EPA publishes reports for some of the criteria pollutant networks, and potentially non‐criteria

pollutant networks, that rank U.S. monitoring organizations’ performance over a three year period. The QA

Team as well as other personnel in DM&QA review these reports to gauge how well our networks are

performing with those across the nation. If needed, corrective actions are taken to ensure data are of the

highest quality possible. ADEQ is monitoring the PM2.5 network to see how it performs nationally based on the

results published in the most recent EPA report, the 3‐Year Quality Assurance Report Calendar Years 2005, 2006,

and 2007 The SLAMS PM2.5 Ambient Air Monitoring Program (February 2009).

5.4 The Audit Program

Several types of quality control audits and assessments are performed on ADEQ’s air monitoring networks.

ADEQ performs the PE audits as per CFR 40 Part 58 Appendix A, Section 3.2.2. For information specific to

each network or pollutant, see the applicable ADEQ quality assurance program plan (QAPP).

5.4.1 Summary of Audits Conducted by ADEQ  

Surveillance  

ADEQ AAS routinely observes how well a monitor is functioning and takes timely action to mitigate any

performance issues to monitoring instruments and/or networks.

PE Audits

In addition to ADEQ instruments, the QA Team conducts PE audits of PCAQCD monitors that are included in the

interagency agreement and some source monitors.

Internal Audits

Technical Systems Audits (TSA) ‐ The QA Team plans on conducting a comprehensive internal TSA every three

years or more frequently if needed; however, the TSA may be more focused on a particular air monitoring

network(s) if changes to regulations, noted performance concerns, or emerging issues are occurring. The

internal TSAs will alternate with the EPA TSA schedule.

Audits of Data Quality (ADQ) ‐ The QA Team plans on conducting an ADQ twice per year.

Data Quality Assessments (DQA) ‐ The DM&QA Unit Manager conducts the DQA as part of the annual data

certification process.
State of Arizona Air Monitoring Network Plan for the Year 2013, Page 44

5.4.2 Summary of Audits Conducted by EPA

EPA Headquarters and Region 9 each have authority to audit ADEQ's ambient air monitoring program.  

The National Performance Evaluation Program (NPEP)

The EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) at Headquarters oversee the NPEP program,

which includes a number of QC evaluations. These include, but are not limited to:

 Performance Evaluation Program (PEP)– for ADEQ this applies to the PM2.5 and Pb TSP monitors and

analytical laboratory (Pb only),

 National Performance Audit Program (NPAP) – for ADEQ this applies to the gaseous pollutant monitors,

Ambient Air – Protocol Gas Verificaiton Program – for ADEQ this applies to the gaseous pollutant

monitors and participation is voluntary – ADEQ participated in 2011.

 Gravimetric Inter‐lab Study for PM2.5 by the EPA’s National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory

– the ADEQ Air Filter Laboratory has been voluntarily participating in this performance test since 2009.

Note that ADEQ will continue to participate in the NPAP and PEP audit programs using EPA’s services versus

conducting this test independently.

EPA Technical Systems Audits

In conformance with 40 CFR Part 58 App. A Section 2.5, EPA Region 9 conducts a TSA on ADEQ’s air monitoring

program every three years and the results are reported to the AQS.  

EPA Region 9 most recently conducted a TSA of ADEQ’s air monitoring program in April 2012. Findings and

recommendations from the TSA along with corrective action plans have been documented in a report for EPA

Region 9. ADEQ is working with EPA Region 9 on the findings from the 2012 TSA and is constantly progressing

with corrective actions since 2012.

In April 2010, ADEQ underwent a TSA of the NATTS program. The TSA was conducted by RTI, a contractor for

EPA, and corrective actions were put in‐place for the findings and recommendations. We anticipate another

NATTS TSA will take place in the future.

Appendix C – Current Monitors by Program or Network 

This appendix contains detailed information about monitors that are operated by ADEQ, or monitors 

that ADEQ has a strong association with (e.g. IMPROVE monitors). Only those monitors that are in 

operation at the time that this network plan was created are included in this appendix. Monitors that are 

proposed to be installed or those that were discontinued prior to the creation of this network plan are not 

included in this appendix. Since individual pollutants or networks have specific monitoring or siting 

criteria, this appendix was created so that siting criteria can be easily identified and evaluated throughout 

a program or network. See Appendix D for detailed information on specific monitoring sites.

Yuma Supersite

The site was reopened in 2008 and has been used to consolidate air quality monitors in the 

Yuma area to one site. The site is located on the southeast corner of the Rural Metro 

Administration Facility property. The surrounding area is commercial and industrial, with a 

dirt lot adjacent to the south and I-8 1 km to the northeast. In addition to NAAQS compliance, 

the site is also used to help understand transport of PM and Ozone.

Appendix E – Criteria Pollutant Minimum Monitoring Requirements 

This appendix contains tables that summarize the criteria pollutant minimum monitoring requirements for 

each MSA or CBSA that ADEQ is designated as the Primary Quality Assurance Organization (PQAO). 

Minimum monitoring requirements for the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale and Tucson MSAs are not included 

within this appendix as ADEQ is not the PQAO for these MSAs.
