ARD Air Quality Monitoring Objectives • Provide data to make pollutant risk assessments of adverse effects to natural resources (AQRVs). • Determine compliance with NAAQS standards and critical loads • Determine trends that assist in compliance predictions, policy objectives, and regional assessments at rural parks. • Provide specific answers from special studies that assist modeling, rural pollution transport issues, SIP development, and national control strategies. • Provide timely information to protect public health in the parks Air Resources Division
Monitoring Concept Changes • Three-tier monitoring: core for trends, baseline, targeted • Co-locate monitoring for efficiency and data use • Use partnerships to maximize cost sharing • Set primary objectives for each site, time frame follows • Target the monitoring by defining the information needs • Parameters and quality of data to meet the need Air Resources Division
Define Monitoring by a Layered Structure Each monitor must be defined by its layer, purpose, and timeline. Air Resources Division
