Description

The Fort Air Partnership (FAP) is a not-for-profit multi-stakeholder organization with members from industry, government, and the public. FAP operates an air quality monitoring network in an area northeast of Edmonton in and around Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, including the towns of Bon Accord, Bruderheim, Fort Saskatchewan, Gibbons, Lamont, and Redwater. FAP currently operates a network of 57 passive monitoring sites within its air monitoring network which provide monthly average concentrations of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and/or sulphur dioxide (SO2). This report provides an evaluation summary and recommendations on the FAP passive monitoring network. Reductions to the SO2 and H2S monitoring networks were recommended in areas where sites were identified as statistically similar, while still providing spatially representative monitoring.

Description

This report is the final deliverable of an air quality modelling contract. The study built upon previous modelling studies focused on central Alberta and expanded the scope to include all regions of Alberta. Other improvements in this study included modelling a complete calendar year, emissions inventory updates for key sectors, and sector-based source apportionment for seven distinct sectors. Province-wide source apportionment will help inform air quality management initiatives, such as managing against the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards and other provincial air quality frameworks.
