Air Monitoring Section

The Air Monitoring Section maintains an air quality monitoring program to measure ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and toxic elements. There are monitoring stations in Underhill, Burlington, Rutland and Bennington. This information is collected as part of a federal Environmental Protection Agency program and published by the EPA in an annual report. Other information is collected to establish permit limits. This section also conducts air studies and is responsible for the continuous emissions monitoring program.

In accordance with federal EPA regulation, 40 CFR Part 58, Subpart B §58.10, the Vermont Air Pollution Control Division is required to submit to EPA by July 1, 2012, an air monitoring network plan for the State of Vermont. The regulation requires that the plan be posted for public inspection 30 days prior to submission. The current air monitoring network plan is made available to the public on the APCD's website, http://www.anr.state.vt.us/air/index.htm for the 30 day comment period and submitted to EPA Region 1 by July 1, 2012.
