Air Quality Monitoring. The purpose of air-quality monitoring pursuant to this Agreement is to maintain compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) increment ceilings established under Section 109 and Section 163 respectively, of the Clean Air Act. The Parties agree that the preferred approach for achieving this goal is through the implementation of appropriate monitoring and management response actions in conjunction with SNWA’s groundwater development. An air quality monitoring station shall be located within the Utah portion of the Tier I Monitoring Area at a site deemed representative of the Snake Valley airshed. Data from this station will be used to substantiate potential air quality impacts local to proposed groundwater withdrawals. In addition, the data from this monitor will be used, in conjunction with data collected from existing air quality stations along the Wasatch Front, to substantiate potential regional transport of pollutants generated local to proposed groundwater withdrawals. The air quality monitoring equipment deployed at the site should be capable of sampling particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) and verifying compliance with the NAAQS and PSD increment ceilings for this air pollutant. Meteorological monitoring equipment will also be deployed at the site to provide data to support the air quality measurements. The monitoring equipment will collect air quality and meteorological data on a continuous basis. The cost of equipment and installation, in addition to the on-going maintenance, data collection and reporting, shall be borne by the SNWA. SNWA shall perform, or fund a mutually agreed upon third party to perform, the installation, maintenance and reporting. The Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) will be able to provide monitoring recommendations and expertise to support data collection and interpretation.
Air Quality Monitoring. Air quality shall be monitored on floors 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 15, 17, 21 and 24 for chemical exposure levels from 2 to 7 days prior to employees moving on the floors listed above. Results of the air quality monitoring tests and written report shall be reviewed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) scientists.
B. Subsequent Air Monitoring Testing – CalEPA shall conduct subsequent air monitoring testing on floors 5, 8, 15 and 21 to determine chemical decline rates at six (6) months after relocation of CalEPA employees to the floor is completed. Initial re-testing will occur the week of June 18, 2001. The results shall be reviewed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment scientists. Additional post-move decline rate testing will be conducted on the two (2) floors with the highest aldehyde readings from the six (6) month tests, at twelve (12) months after final relocation of CalEPA employees, during the week of December 18, 2001. The results shall be reviewed by the OEHHA scientists. Additional actions to be taken will be determined and implemented as appropriate as determined by the findings of the 6 and/or 12 month re-tests.

Air Quality Monitoring. Number and Location of Monitors TNRCC has been monitoring air quality in Austin since the mid-1970’s. The first Continuous Air Monitoring System (CAMS) in the area was located at Xxxxxx Xxxx and MoPac (CAMS #25) in northwest Austin. A second monitor was added in 1993, also in northwest Austin at Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx High School, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx (CAMS #3). In 1997, because of its proximity to a heavily-traveled highway intersection, the Xxxxxx Xxxx monitor was re-located to a site in far northwest Xxxxxx County near Cedar Park (00000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, CAMS #38). Two additional monitoring stations were set up in Xxxxxxxx and Fayette counties in 1998 to assist in gathering information on area background ozone levels. These are CAMS #62 (Xxxxxxxx County, near the San Marcos Airport) and CAMS 601 (Fayette County). Figure 2.1 shows the location of ozone monitoring stations. In 1996, air quality data were also gathered by using a specially-equipped van to transport monitoring equipment to areas around Georgetown (northern Xxxxxxxxxx County), San Marcos, and Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx International Airport (southeast Xxxxxx County). In addition to monitoring ozone concentrations, NOx concentrations were monitored continuously along with wind speed and direction. Approximately 300 VOC samples were also collected during this period. This data collection effort found that, on ozone action days, highest levels of ozone were often registering outside Xxxxxx County and confirmed that on some, but not all ozone action days, air entering the region had high levels of ozone and ozone precursors. Additional data support the observation that the region’s highest ozone levels are typically experienced when winds are out of the north/northeast or from the south/southeast. Figure 2.1
Air Quality Monitoring. Valero will take the following actions in order to enhance available air quality monitoring data:
(a) For an initial one-year period and to provide a comparison of the suitability of the two systems to monitor air quality and to provide data relevant to the Benicia Community and the Valero Refinery, Valero will support an SB 25 monitoring station as described herein.
(i) Upon CARB/BAAQMD approval, Valero shall assist in the location of an SB25 monitoring station in the City ofBenicia. Assistance includes providing (1) financial support of up to $30,000, if requested by CARB/BAAQMD, for a site assessment study to determine the appropriate location for the monitoring equipment, and
Air Quality Monitoring. The RI directly reflects the objective of the proposed interventions; compliance with the air quality acquis. The indicator is clear, measurable and reflects the result and specific objectives and is in accord with the proposed actions. Measuring achievement will be based on the data collection and reporting methodology established and required under community legislation. MSs are required to report air quality data annually to the EC. The data are also required to be made publicly available. In order to ensure compliance with the air quality acquis additional investment is required fir monitoring and reporting – particulate matter and heavy metals. The indicator is a simple assessment of the current baseline where the air quality monitoring and reporting network does not entirely meet the required standards and the target of meeting those standards. Validation of the result will be in the data collection and reporting. The RI is entirely relevant and reflects the objective of the proposed interventions; reducing the number of historically contaminated sites. It is clear, measurable and reflects the results and specific objectives and accord with the proposed actions. The baseline and target values derive from The National Strategy and National Action Plan for the management of contaminated sites. A total of 1393 contaminated sites have been identified from which investigations to date have revealed that 210 have historical contamination. The baseline is the number of polluted sites that have been identified as historically contaminated. The expectation is that 8 sites will be decontaminated under the LIOP and a further 2 sites will be decontaminated through other non – ESIF interventions. Validation of the result will be enabled by the physical evidence.

Air Quality Monitoring. Construction shall not cause air quality levels to exceed 100 ppb for nitrogen oxides (NO2) over a one (1) hour period and 50 μg/m3 for particulate matter smaller than or equal to 10 microns (PM10) and 2.5 microns (PM2.5) in size over a five (5) hour period (collectively, the “Threshold Levels”). If a Threshold Level is exceeded, then the LACMTA and the Contractor shall immediately stop Construction and promptly implement additional mitigation measures, possibly including reduction of Construction activities, to reduce air quality levels below the Threshold Levels before Construction may resume. DRAFT Alert levels will be set at eighty (80) percent of the Threshold Levels (“Alert Levels”). If an Alert Level is exceeded, then the LACMTA and the Contractor shall promptly implement additional mitigation measures to prevent an exceedance of the Threshold Levels. The LACMTA shall identify at least three locations (one upwind and two downwind) at Xxxxxxx Hills High School where the LACMTA will place monitors to verify compliance with such air quality levels. Separate monitors will be used for PM10, PM2.5 and NO2. The monitors shall be positioned to monitor the Project’s contribution to ambient PM2.5, PM10, and NO2, and in secure locations with access to power and limited public access. The monitors will meet the requirements set forth by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and SCAQMD. Monitoring shall be continuous during all Construction activities in Century City. An anemometer shall also be used to measure wind speeds and directions. Monitoring data shall be made available to the Independent Compliance Monitor, the City, the LACMTA, and the Contractor. Monthly reports shall also be provided to the City and made available to interested persons. The Compliance Monitor shall provide immediate notification (via visual alarm and email notification) to the LACMTA, the Contractor, and the Independent Compliance Monitor when the Alert Levels or Threshold Levels are exceeded. The LACMTA shall also comply with the air quality requirements established under Article
Air Quality Monitoring. Two locations in core zone and two locations in the buffer zone will be monitored for once per season except monsoon.
