Abstract
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Department) has operated an air quality monitoring network in South Carolina since 1959. Since that time, the network has continually evolved to meet the requirements and needs of the Department’s Air Program. In 2007 the network was comprised of approximately 150 monitors and samplers at 48 sites. In October, 2006, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published revisions to the ambient monitoring regulations (71 FR 61236, October 17, 2006) requiring quality assurance, monitor designations, minimum requirements for both number and distribution of monitors among metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), and probe siting changes. The regulation also specified the requirement for an annual monitoring network plan and periodic network assessment. This report is for the calendar year 2010.
