Raleigh
Jun 1, 2020

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division Air Quality, is accepting comments for changes to the division’s 2020-2021 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Network Plan. The proposed changes are required to be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) annually.

Every year the monitoring network is re-evaluated and adjusted to ensure it is providing adequate coverage. In past years, these adjustments included starting new air quality monitors, shutting down monitors, or simply relocating established monitors.
