The attainment status for pollutants <br />in the project area is determined by monitoring levels of criteria pollutants for which NAAQS <br />and CAAQS apply. The attainment designation means that no violations of any ambient air <br />quality standard have been documented in the area. The area around the proposed alternative <br />action area is also identified as Class II, which allows for reasonable economic growth. The <br />Proposed Action analyzed in this EA does not address any increase in production above currently <br />authorized levels, and would not constitute adding additional production to previously authorized <br />limits. <br />Air Monitoring <br />Within the western counties monitoring region, Grand Junction (APCD - Western Counties) is the <br />only large city, and the only location that monitors for CO and air toxics. In 2008, Rifle, <br />Palisade, and Cortez began monitoring for ozone. The other Western County locations only <br />monitor for particulates. They are located in Delta, Durango, Parachute, and Telluride. <br />Currently, there are four gaseous pollutant monitors and 11 particulate monitors in the Western <br />Counties area. There are one CO, three 03, eight PM10, and three PM2.5 monitoring sites. <br />PMIO data trends are available back to 1987 where monitors existed. In 2004 there were 20 <br />PM2.5 monitoring sites in Colorado. Thirteen of the 20 sites were selected based on the <br />population of the metropolitan statistical areas and included Denver, Grand Junction, Steamboat <br />Springs, Colorado Springs, Greeley, Fort Collins, Platteville, Boulder, Longmont, and Elbert <br />County. This is a federal selection criterion that was developed to protect the public health in the <br />highest population centers. In addition, there were seven special - purpose monitoring (SPM) sites. <br />These sites were selected due to historically elevated concentrations of PM10 or because citizens <br />or local governments had concerns of possible high PM2.5 concentrations in their communities. <br />All SPM sites were removed as of December 31, 2006 due to the low concentrations of PM2.5 <br />measured and a lack of funding. <br />DOI- BLM -CO- 110- 2012- 0023 -EA 24 <br />
