The plan is to provide a detailed description of the monitoring network for all of the criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), lead (Pb). The monitoring sites are categorized by the following types: NCore (national trend sites), SLAMS (state and local air monitoring sites), SPM (special purpose monitors), PM2.5 speciation sites (trend and State), and PAMS (photochemical assessment monitoring sites). Specific site information is to include location information (address and latitude/longitude), site type, objectives, spatial scale, sampling schedule, and equipment used. A revised Network Plan including changes made due to USEPA comments is posted below. The revised annual network plan is available for public inspection for 30 days prior to submission to USEPA.
