[(f)] (d) The standards in subdivisions [(c), (d) and (e)] (a), (b) and (c) of this section are intended for enforcement purposes, and monitoring will be performed only as required in a particular area. For prediction purposes, prediction of conformity with the annual geometric mean standard shall be sufficient to demonstrate predicted conformity with these standards.
Section 257-3.4 remains unchanged.
Section 257-3.5 is amended to read as follows:
(a) Concentration of suspended particulates is determined [gravimetrically by the use of high-volume sampling techniques by drawing air through a filter for 24 hours and is expressed in micrograms of suspended particulate per cubic meter of air (µg/m3)] by the federal reference methods found in 40 CFR Part 50 Appendices J, K and L (See Table 1, Section 200.9) or another method acceptable to the Commissioner. Specifications for equipment and filter media shall conform to standards acceptable to the commissioner.
(b) Concentration of settleable particulates or dustfall is determined gravimetrically by the collection of the settleable particulate in a vessel with a defined surface area reported as cm2 [in a one-gallon glass jar without a lid. Area on which the particles have settled is computed from the inside diameter of the jar mouth.] The results are expressed as milligrams of settleable particulate per square centimeter per month (mg/cm2/mo).
Subdivision 257-3.6(a) remains unchanged
Paragraph 257-3.6(b)(1) is repealed.
Paragraphs 257-3.6(b)(2) though (5) are renumbered 257-3.6(b)(1) through (4).

Section 257-8.3 is renumbered 257-4.2
Section 257-8.4 is renumbered 257-4.3 and is amended to read as follows:
(a) Total fluorides in and on forage shall be determined by [fusion of a representative sample by the Schoniger flash oxygen combustion method and analysis by specific ion electrode* or other] methods acceptable to the commissioner.
(b) Gaseous fluorides in air will be collected and analyzed by methods acceptable to the commissioner.
Footnote will be repealed
[* Standard Method For Fluorides From Vegetation, New York State Department of Health, Division of Labs. & Research, August, 1970 (or subsequent revision). ppb = 0.82 µg/m3 as F.]
Subpart 257-9 is repealed.
Subpart 257-10 is renumbered 257-5
Sections 257-10.1 through 257-10.4 are renumbered 257-5.1 through 257-5.4

Applicable in all levels. In any one-hour period, the average concentration of hydrogen sulfide shall not exceed [0.01] 0.010 ppm (14 µg/m3).
Renumbered section 257-5.4 is amended as follows:
(a) Hydrogen sulfide is determined by the [Cadmium Hydroxide-Methylene Blue method] methods acceptable to the commissioner and expressed as parts of hydrogen sulfide per million parts of ambient air (ppm) by volume.
