EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As described in the following Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan, the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has established lead monitoring at the existing Newark Firehouse
station, re-established a monitoring station in Camden City, and plans to establish a near-roadway
monitoring station in Fort Lee by the end of 2012.
In the last 2 years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) revised the health-based
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), and
revised minimum requirements for the number and location of monitoring stations for carbon monoxide
(CO), lead (Pb), NO2 and SO2 monitoring networks. For NO2, a new 1-hour average NAAQS was
established at 100 parts per billion (ppb), and for SO2, a new 1-hour average NAAQS was established at
75 ppb.
The revisions to the networks require the establishment of one new Pb monitoring location by January
2012, and a new near-roadway NO2 monitoring location by January 2013, but they allow a significant
reduction in the number of monitoring stations that the NJDEP currently operates. The resources saved
by further network reductions will be used to implement technology changes that will improve the value of
the data and save on the resources needed to collect it, to monitor for new types of pollutants such as air
toxics and indicators of diesel exhaust emissions, and to reduce or eliminate the manual sampling of
particulates by investing in continuous particulate monitoring analyzers.
INTRODUCTION
In the Federal Register of October 17, 2006, the USEPA revised “Subpart B – Monitoring Network” of
Part 58 – Ambient Surveillance Networks of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Specifically, the
NJDEP is required by the revised regulations to submit an Annual Monitoring Network Plan to the
USEPA Region 2 Regional Administrator by July 1 of every year starting in 2007, and to have the Plan
available for public inspection for at least 30 days prior to its submittal to the USEPA. The Plan should
describe State and Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS), National Core (NCore) stations, Speciation
Trends Network (STN) stations, State speciation stations, Special Purpose Monitor (SPM) stations, and
Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS).
The regulations also require the NJDEP to submit
an assessment of its Air Monitoring Network every
5 years starting July 1, 2010 and to have all NCore
multi-pollutant stations operational by January 1,
2011. This 2012 Network Plan contains all the
information required by the regulations, along with
an overview of air monitoring network concepts,
descriptions of the air monitoring sites, large and
small scale maps of the monitoring stations, and a
summary of the changes to the Air Monitoring
Network that the NJDEP expects to implement in
the next two years. It is available for download
from the Bureau of Air Monitoring’s website,
www.njaqinow.net, or as a hardcopy by calling

NETWORK DESIGN
Air monitoring sites are designed to meet one or more of the following objectives: to measure maximum
pollutant concentrations, to assess population exposure, to determine the impact of major pollution
sources, to measure background levels, to determine the extent of regional pollutant transport, and to
measure secondary impacts in rural areas. Summary monitoring data are provided to various public and
media outlets, and real-time data is used to update a graphic on the Bureau’s webpage that rates the
current air quality throughout the state. The real-time data is also supplied to the USEPA which displays
current air quality data from throughout the nation on the webpage, www.airnow.gov. The following is a
summary of the federal Ambient Monitoring Network Requirements for carbon monoxide (CO), ozone
(O3), fine particles (PM2.5), inhalable particles (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), lead (Pb) and nitrogen
dioxide (NO2), including the minimum number of required stations by pollutant for New Jersey.
Carbon Monoxide Network Requirements
According to the August 2011 revisions to 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D.4.2 Carbon Monoxide Design
Criteria, one CO monitor is required in Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) that have a population of
1,000,000 or more, and this monitor shall be collocated with the near-roadway NO2 monitor. The nearroadway CO monitors are to be operational by January 1, 2015. In addition, one trace-level CO monitor
is required at the NCore station at the Newark Firehouse. There are currently 6 CO monitors in New
Jersey.

The NJDEP will fulfill the near-roadway CO requirement by adding a CO monitor to the proposed nearroadway NO2 monitoring station in Fort Lee.
Ozone Network Requirements
For O3, the minimum number of stations is based on the CBSA population and whether the O3 design
value is greater than or equal to 85% of the O3 NAAQS or less than 85% of the NAAQS. This is
summarized in Table 2.

Since the O3 Design Values for all the CBSAs in New Jersey are above 85% of the NAAQS, Table 9 lists
the CBSAs, their respective populations, the minimum number of stations required by the CBSA
population based on having a Design Value greater than 85% of the NAAQS, the current number of
stations located in each CBSA, and whether each CBSA meets the minimum requirements. The Ocean
City and Trenton-Ewing CBSA each need one more O3 monitor. Since these CBSAs are small in
population and area, the NJDEP will seek a waiver from the requirement to add additional O3 monitors to
these CBSAs. A comparison of requirements with the current network is shown in Table 3.

PM2.5 Network Requirements
Like ozone, the minimum number of stations for PM2.5 is based on the CBSA population and whether
the PM2.5 Design Value is greater than or equal to 85% of the PM2.5 NAAQS or less than 85% of the
NAAQS. This is summarized in Table 4.

There are many more currently operating PM2.5 stations in the New York-Northern NJ CBSA than
required by the regulations. Considering that the population of this CBSA is more than six times the
NEW JERSEY AMBIENT AIR MONITORING NETWORK PLAN 2012

lower limit of the highest population category, the number of PM2.5 stations in the New York-Northern
NJ-Long Island CBSA is reasonable. The Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, Atlantic City and the TrentonEwing CBSAs have more than the minimum required number of stations, while the PhiladelphiaCamden-Wilmington CBSA meets the minimum. The Vineland-Millville CBSA needs 1 station, and the
NJDEP plans to fulfill this requirement by adding a Federal Equivalent Method real-time PM2.5 analyzer
at the Millville station. Table 5 illustrates the comparison of the PM2.5 network requirements with the
current network.

PM10 Network Requirements
The minimum number of required PM10 stations is based on CBSA Population and category of PM10
Concentration. High concentration category are for those samplers which measure ambient PM10
concentrations that exceed either the 24-hour or annual NAAQS by 20% or more. Medium concentration
values are those that are 80% or more of either NAAQS. The low concentration category is for PM10
values that are less than 80 percent of the NAAQS. These requirements are summarized in Table 6. All
PM10 samplers in New Jersey are currently measuring concentrations of PM10 less than 80% of the
NAAQS, thereby placing New Jersey in the Low PM10 Concentration category.

SO2 Network Requirements
On June 2, 2010, the USEPA revised the NAAQS for SO2 by adding a new 1-hour primary standard of
75 ppb, revoking the existing 24-hour and annual NAAQS for SO2, and by revising the existing network
design requirements. The final network design revisions established minimum number of stations based
on a population weighted emissions index in CBSAs that fall in specified index values. According to this
index, for New Jersey, a minimum of 3 SO2 stations are required in the New York-Northeast New JerseyLong Island CBSA, 2 stations are required in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington CBSA, and 1 station
is required in the Trenton-Ewing MSA. These requirements are summarized in Table 8.

Under the new monitoring regulations, NJDEP will designate existing SO2 monitoring stations in
Bayonne, Elizabeth Lab and Newark Firehouse as meeting the revised minimum network requirements
for the New York-Northeast New Jersey-Long Island CBSA. The NJDEP has established 1 new monitor
in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington CBSA at the new Camden Spruce Street station, and the
minimum number of stations for the CBSA is met with existing SO2 stations in Philadelphia. The NJDEP
NEW JERSEY AMBIENT AIR MONITORING NETWORK PLAN 2012

is seeking a waiver from SO2 monitoring requirements in the Trenton-Ewing CBSA because an updated
calculation of the population weighted index based on the most recent SO2 emissions inventory for the
Trenton-Ewing CBSA would fall under 5,000, which eliminates the monitoring requirement. The USEPA
provided a deadline of July 1, 2011 to submit a revised SO2 monitoring network plan, and January 1,
2013 to establish additional required monitoring stations.
Pb Network Requirements
On November 12, 2008, the USEPA revised the NAAQS for lead by lowering the primary standard to
0.15 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3), and by including new network design requirements for sourceoriented and non-source-oriented lead monitoring stations. Initially, the regulations required the
establishment of source-oriented lead monitors for each lead source that emits one or more tons per
year of lead, and the establishment of at least one lead monitor for each CBSA that has a population of
500,000 or more. On December 14, 2010, the USEPA revised the Pb network design requirements for
the establishment of source-oriented Pb monitors by lowering the lead source threshold to 0.50 tons per
year, and by requiring lead monitoring at NCore monitoring stations. The NJDEP has installed 1 lead
monitor at its NCore station at the Newark Firehouse on January 4, 2012. Currently, there are no sources
in New Jersey that emit more than 0.50 tons per year of Pb.
NO2 Network Requirements
When 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D was revised in 2006, the minimum requirements for the number of
NO2 monitoring sites were revoked. On January 22, 2010, the USEPA revised the NAAQS for NO2 by
adding a new 1-hour primary standard of 100 ppb, and by revising the existing network design
requirements. Under the new rules, one to two near-roadway NO2 monitoring stations are required in
CBSAs having a population of 500,000 or more. Also, at least one community-based NO2 monitoring
station is required in such CBSAs, and the USEPA Regional Administrator, working with the states, will
site additional NO2 monitoring stations to help protect communities that are susceptible and vulnerable to
NO2-related health effects. These requirements are summarized in Table 9. The USEPA provided a
deadline of July 1, 2012 to submit a revised NO2 network plan, and January 2, 2013 to establish any
additional required monitoring stations.

At first glance, only the New York-Northern NJ-Long Island and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington
CBSAs would require monitors. Also, a new NO2 monitor can easily be installed at Newark Firehouse,
New Jersey’s NCore station. However, the regulations also require that “Near Major Road” NO2 stations
should be placed within 50 meters of the roadway, and no current New Jersey monitoring station is
situated that close to a major road.
The NJDEP has already established an NO2 monitor at a community based site, the NCore station at
Newark Firehouse, and the NJDEP is planning to establish 1 near-roadway NO2 station in Fort Lee which
is in the New York-Northeast New Jersey-Long Island CBSA. The NJDEP plans to designate, with EPA
approval, existing NO2 stations that meet the criteria for “Monitors To Help Protect Communities That Are
Susceptible and Vulnerable to NO2-Related Health Effects.” The next sections provide the rationale for
selecting the Fort Lee near-roadway NO2 monitoring station. The rationale follows the guidance in the
Near-Road NO2 Monitoring Technical Assistance Document prepared by the USEPA.

SITE SELECTION OF NEAR-ROADWAY NO2 STATION
In New Jersey, there are six CBSAs, which are made up of one or more contiguous counties: the
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, the Atlantic City, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, the
Ocean City, the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, the Trenton-Ewing, and the Vineland-MillvilleBridgeton CBSAs. A map of these counties is shown in Figure 1, and a summary of the populations of
these CBSAs is found in Table 10.

With over six million in population covering twelve counties, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long
Island, NY-NJ-PA CBSA requires 2 near-road NO2 monitoring stations. The Philadelphia-CamdenWilmington CBSA has greater than 500,000 in population, but less than 2,500,000, and is required to
have 1 near-road NO2 monitoring station. The other areas are not required to have NO2 stations since
their populations are less than 500,000. A map of the New Jersey highway system is shown in Figure 2,
and Table 11 lists the top 60 roadway segments that were measured to have the highest total AADT as
measured by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

The top 58 segments by AADT are all in the New York CBSA, and 15 of the top 20 segments are on
portions of the New Jersey Turnpike in Bergen, Essex, Middlesex and Union counties. The location with
the highest AADT in the state is at the approach to the toll booths for the George Washington Bridge in
Fort Lee. This location also ranked 30th overall in terms of truck traffic. In terms of the Fleet Equivalent
Annual Average Daily Traffic, (a statistic that considers the emissions of 1 heavy duty truck as equivalent
to 10 regular-duty motor vehicle) this roadway segment is 11th highest in New Jersey. The NJDEP
already operates a site near the segments with the highest truck counts which are near Exit 13 of the
New Jersey Turnpike in Union County. While this site does not meet all siting criteria for a near roadway
monitoring site, the NJDEP believes that it adequately represents near road exposures near roadway
segments of this type.
For this and other reasons, the NJDEP is proposing to locate one near-road site in Fort Lee adjacent to
the highest AADT road segment. In addition to having the highest overall traffic, it has very heavy truck
traffic and is located in a community with pedestrian overpasses, residences, and businesses in
immediate proximity to the road. The proposed Fort Lee near-roadway NO2 monitoring station is
identified by a red circle in the satellite photograph of Fort Lee shown in Figure 3.

MONITORING SITE DESCRIPTION OF NEAR-ROADWAY NO2 STATION
The proposed Fort Lee station is located in a maintenance yard owned by the Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey. Access to the maintenance yard is limited to Port Authority and NJDEP staff only. This
area, which overlooks the George Washington Bridge Tollbooths, is adjacent to a commercial and retail
area that is interspersed with tall office and residential towers. There is a high amount of pedestrian
activity due to the proximity of shopping and dining establishments and bus stops. A photograph of the
immediate area of the proposed station is presented in Figure 4.
The NJDEP will employ an Ekto shelter to house the NO2 analyzer and related equipment. The sample
inlet is 1 meter above the roof of the shelter, and will be within 50 meters from the nearest traffic lane of
the New Jersey Turnpike.

THE NEW JERSEY AIR MONITORING NETWORK
The NJDEP is currently operating 38 air monitoring sites.
Table 11 lists all the current monitoring sites along with the
pollutants, categories of pollutants or meteorological
parameters that are measured at each site. Figure 5 shows
the locations of the monitoring sites across New Jersey.
Several parameters, including carbon monoxide (CO),
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2),
particulate matter, and meteorological parameters, are
measured by instruments that automatically collect and
analyze data instantaneously and continuously. The data is
transmitted to a centralized computer system in Trenton,
New Jersey, once every minute, thus providing near realtime data. For fine particles (particles smaller than 2.5
micrometers in diameter or PM2.5) and inhalable particles
(particles smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter or PM10),
their respective instruments collect a sample over a 24-hour
period. These samples are subsequently manually retrieved
and then analyzed in a laboratory several days to a few
weeks following their sample collection.
PM2.5 concentrations are determined by both real-time
analyzers and manual samplers. The real-time PM2.5
analyzers measure PM2.5 levels every minute, and the data
is used, along with data from the other continuous pollutants, to generate a rating of air quality called the
Air Quality Index, which is updated hourly on the Bureau of Air Monitoring’s webpage. The manual
PM2.5 sampler collects particles on a filter over a 24-hour period. The filter is retrieved following the
completion of the sampling period and weighed in a laboratory. Data used for comparison to the NAAQS
must be measured by USEPA-approved manual samplers or USEPA-approved real-time analyzers. The
NJDEP uses USEPA-approved manual samplers for comparison to the NAAQS.
USEPA-approved manual PM2.5 sampler on the roof
of the Union City Health Department building in
Hudson County
The NJDEP also monitors many other pollutants which are grouped together into categories by their
method of sampling or analysis. These categories are listed in the headings of Table 12. Sites that
monitor for ozone precursors, pollutants that affect ozone formation and destruction in the atmosphere,
are part of the national Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Station (PAMS) program. Ozone
precursors are frequently referred to as PAMS pollutants. Pollutants in the PM2.5-Speciation category
include trace elements, heavy metals, and carbon compounds that are analyzed from PM2.5 particles.
VOCs and Carbonyls refer to selected carbon-based air pollutants that are analyzed from whole air
samples or adsorbent media. The PM2.5-Speciation, VOC, and Carbonyls samples are collected by the
NJDEP and are sent to USEPA-approved contract laboratories for analysis. Finally, the NJDEP also
measures acid deposition, mercury, and two surrogates for particle pollution: smoke shade and visibility
as measured by a nephelometer.

CHANGES TO THE NETWORK, 2011-2012
In January 2012, a Pb monitor was added to the Newark Firehouse station to satisfy the requirements for
NCore monitoring stations. In April 2012, the NJDEP re-established a monitoring station in Camden and
plans to establish a near-road NO2 monitoring station in Fort Lee by the end of 2012. The proposed Fort
Lee station, which is in close proximity to the previous station, will measure NO2, CO, and a real-time
PM2.5. Table 13 summarizes the monitors that the NJDEP established and proposes to establish
through December 2012.

The revisions to the networks require the establishment of a new Pb monitor, and a new near-road NO2
monitoring location, but they allow a significant reduction in the number of monitoring stations that the
NJDEP currently operates. The resources saved will be used to implement technology changes that will
improve the value of the data and save on the resources needed to collect it. In addition, monitoring for
new types of pollutants such as air toxics and indicators of diesel exhaust emissions will be initiated in
place of some of the current measurements. These pollutants now seem to be of greater importance
from a public health perspective. Of particular interest is providing information on the health impacts of
motor vehicles, both gas and diesel powered, and other pollutants that are likely to affect urban
populations in the state. Most of the monitoring at urban sites at this time is for CO and SO2. This results
in air quality ratings in cities that are based on pollutants that are only present at very low levels.
To meet this challenge, the NJDEP plans to establish monitors that measure real-time benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene, xylene and black carbon at existing monitoring stations in Bayonne, Elizabeth Lab,
Newark Firehouse, Camden Spruce Street and at the proposed station in Fort Lee. Although these
pollutants do not have federal standards, they are indicators of diesel particulate matter or
measurements of air toxic pollutants that are prevalent in the highly urbanized areas. This effort will
provide the air quality data in these urbanized areas that are not currently being measured by the criteria
pollutant network.
