Abstract

Once every five years, federal rules require that states supplement their annual ambient air monitoring network plan with a five-year network assessment. While the focus of the annual network plan is to demonstrate that a State’s monitoring network meets the minimum federal requirements, the five-year assessment is intended to provide a more general explanation of how the State’s air monitoring network meets the qualitative monitoring objectives established in federal monitoring rules, for example, how the network protects individuals sensitive to the effects of air pollution. The five-year assessment also provides an opportunity for States to make significant changes to their long-term monitoring efforts (i.e. changes to State and Local Air Monitoring Stations or SLAMS), renew waivers of federal monitoring requirements or to implement new technologies in their air monitoring network. The DNR has reviewed the tools developed by EPA for this five-year network assessment and included results from some of these tools in this document.
