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

Continuous ambient air monitoring analyzers used to measure hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and total reduced sulphur (TRS) must meet the following performance specifications, unless an equivalent, alternative analyzer is authorized in writing by the Director. It is not the intent of the Department to exclude analyzers with operating principles and/or equivalent performance specifications different than those provided. Written authorization from the regulator must be received prior to the purchase, installation and/or use of any analyzer based on an alternative principle of operation or differing performance specifications from those herein.
