Good morning Matt,

Please find the attached meteorological data files for use in the PQBS RTR as discussed on our call last week. 

1. Clairton MMIF Files from 2012-2014 - These files were used for the 1-hour SO2 DRR modeling (https://alleghenycounty.us/uploadedFiles/Allegheny_Home/Health_Department/Programs/Air_Quality/SIPs/SO2_2010_NAAQS_SIP_9-14-2017.pdf).

2. ABC Coke Files for 2016 - ABC discontinued the use of their onsite meteorological tower in 2017, so 2016 is the last full year of data available. Previous years of meteorological data from this tower were used to demonstrate through modeling that ABC and Bluestone did not significantly impact the North Birmingham PM2.5 monitor during the 2007 PM2.5 attainment demonstration. The tower instrumentation were calibrated and audited on a quarterly basis while in operation.

3. Bluestone Coke Files for 2016 - Similar to ABC, Bluestone discontinued the use of their onsite meteorological tower in 2017, so the 2016 is the last full year of data available. Previous years of meteorological data from this tower were used to model 1-hour SO2. The results were submitted to the Jefferson County Department of Health (JCDH). The tower instrumentation were calibrated and audited on a quarterly basis while in operation.

Please let us know if you have any questions or require documentation.

Kind regards,
Mary Kaplan

These files will be available for download until 5/6/2021
