2. NetworkStatus • 53 Active Sites • 3 New sites: • Georgia Station, GA41 • Logan, UT01 • Salt Lake City, UT97 • No sites were shutdown since last update

4. Data Availability • 35 AMoN sites collocated with CASTNET • 145 site-years available • Site photos available on the AMoN website • Bi-weekly replicate samples or triplicate average concentrations • Triplicates at 5% of the sites • Travel blanks to all sites

6. Independent QA • Independent audit SOW now includes identifying any violations to the siting criteria at AMoN(and AMNet) sites that are collocated with CASTNET, NTN, MDN or AIRMoN • Contractor will also take photographs of the site and submit to the PO

9. Estimated Deposition Fluxes • Using AMoN seasonal concentrations + 2002 CMAQ deposition velocities

10. Contribution of NH3 to “total” N deposition • Caveats!!! • Average annual NH3 dry deposition calculated from: • 2011 bi-weekly concentrations (AMoN) • 2002 weekly CMAQ vd’s • CASTNET/NTN wet and dry deposition estimated from 2009 total deposition (annual)

11. ABT147/CT15 KNZ184/KS31 NH3 dry NH4wet NH4 dry NO3 wet NO3 dry SND152/AL99 HNO3 dry

12. Bi-directional flux • 2002 annual simulation with bi-directional science option in progress • 2006 annual simulation will be next • Work with ORD to understand how we can use bi-weekly NH3 (and hourly Hg) concentrations with the bi-directional deposition velocities to estimate flux at AMoN/AMNet sites

13. Special Studies ACCS Update NOx/SOx Secondary Standard Field Pilot Program

14. Ammonia CASTNET CSN Study (ACCS) • Two journal articles • NH3 comparison between AMoN, URG denuders, MPPDs in Super SASS • Ion comparison between CASTNET filter pack, URG denuders, Super SASS canisters (CSN) • Final data being QA’ed • Schedule – mid-summer, early fall submittal

15. NOx/SOx Secondary Standard Field Pilot Program Implementation • Final Rule announced on March 20th - no new standard set • Proposal to implement a Field Pilot Program (FPP) to enhance understanding of the level of protectiveness we could expect from a multi-pollutant standard • 3-5 eco-regions to be selected • 5 year program to address uncertainty in developing a standard based on eco-region specific AAI values • Standard measurements at proposed FPP sites include: • CASTNET filter pack (SO2, SO4) – direct input to the AAI • Continuous NOy – direct input to the AAI as total reactive N • Additional measurements may be added to some sites to complement these basic measurements • NTN • AMoN • PM2.5 speciation • Total NO3 from the CASTNET filterpack • Continuous SO2 • True NO2
