Description

Alberta Environment and Parks has finalized a new Alberta Ambient Air Quality Guideline for total reduced sulphur compounds, to be used for odour management. Alberta Environment and Parks recognizes that further guidance is needed to reduce the operational burden related to reporting values above the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Guideline, while still achieving the desired outcome of odour management. The Air Monitoring Directive requires immediate reporting of exceedances of ambient air quality objectives and guidelines. This protocol is to outline electronic reporting procedures for ambient TRS monitoring for values above the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Guideline for both industrial operations and Alberta airsheds.

Description

An air monitoring science workshop held in 2015 identified that further analyses are recommended to assess potential redundancies in the long-term air monitoring network of Alberta. This report provides a summary of the air network optimization methodology, and guidance on how its application to ambient air quality monitoring networks in Alberta may provide insight to aid in air quality network optimization. The report focuses on all the ambient air monitoring networks in Alberta and on two specific oil sands areas: Athabasca and Cold Lake.
