                            EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 This report presents an evaluation of recent ambient air quality in Kansas,
 based on 1982 and 1983 monitoring data for the criteria pollutants [Total
 Suspended Particulates (TSP), Sulfur Dioxide (SO?), Carbon Monoxide (CO),
 Nitrogen Dioxide (N02), Ozone (03) and Lead (Pb)J.  Trend evaluations  are
 based on five years of data, 1979-1983.  All monitoring data used were
 retrieved from the Storage and Retrieval  of Aerometric Data (SAROAD) system.

 The report presents the following information in graphical form:

      - Recent air quality and trends
      - Boundaries of designated non-attainment areas
      - Spatial scale of representativeness and data completeness by monitor
      - Emissions and stack height relative to monitor locations
      - Population within designated non-attainment areas.

 Tabular summaries in the Appendices show the numerical data on which the
 graphics are based.

 The findings and recommendations of the evaluation can be summarized in
 three categories:  Attainment/Non-Attainment Designations; Areas of
 Continuing Air Quality Concern; and Monitor Operation.

 A.  Attainment/Non-Attainment Designations

 Recent data show sufficient air quality improvement to clearly meet the
 National Ambient Air Quality Standards in two areas which have been
 designated non-attainment.  Redesignations are recommended for:

      TSP in Topeka (Secondary Non-Attainment to Attainment);
      TSP in Kansas City (significant size reductions for the Primary and
          Secondary Non-Attainment areas)

 B.  Areas of Continuing Air Quality Concern

 Relatively few serious air quality problems were found in the State, based
 on the monitoring data available in SAROAD.  The recent data show violation
 of the health-related (primary) standards in only one area of the State:

      0 CO in Wichita (in 1982, but not in 1983).

 This area is still  under review by the State of Kansas.  The exceedences of
 the secondary TSP standard in Johnson County were not anticipated and  review
 by the State has commenced.

-C.  Monitor Operation

 The overall picture of monitor operation  in Kansas shows commendable
 performance by State and local  agency personnel  in ensuring data
 completeness, in performing the quality control  checks required by
 the regulations of 40 CFR 58, Appendix A.

                              ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This report draws on the work and talents  of several  people  in.addition
to the author.

State and local  agency personnel  collected,  processed and  reported  the
monitoring data  which forms the basis of this evaluation.  Based  on their
first-hand experience at the monitoring  locations,  they  have also provided
valuable insights into local  conditions, both in  cooperative discussions
and in formal  reports which they  have prepared.   We appreciate  their help.

Dr. Thomas T.  Holloway of EPA Region VII,  his insights and organization of
previous reports have made this report easier to  compile.  Carl Hess, a
former employee  of Computer Sciences Corporation,  wrote the software to
translate air  quality data and emissions data into  symbols for  the  maps in
the text.

Mary LaSala Region VII typed the  manuscript.  Rob Ireson of  Systems
Applications,  Inc., developed software which we  requested  for computing
population estimates for designated non-attainment  areas.  Tim  Matzke
of the Environmental Results Branch, OMSE, EPA Headquarters, provided
coordination for the funding of that software.

The unique contributions of each  of those  individuals to this project are
gratefully acknowledged.

I.  INTRODUCTION

The Environmental Services Division of EPA Region VII prepares-an
evaluation of ambient air quality for each State within the Region,
periodically.  The evaluation report serves as a basic reference
document which summarizes the following information for the State:

     0  recent monitoring data
     0  current attainment and non-attainment area designations
     0  air quality trends
     0  ambient monitor locations
     0  emissions
     0  population
     °  data completeness
     0  monitor scales of representativeness
     0  precision and accuracy estimates

Data summaries are presented both in graphical  form (on maps)  and in
tabular form.
This evaluation is based on information available as of May I,  1984.
That information includes non-attainment area designation changes which
were made during 1983.  Emissions data reflect the latest National
Emissions Data System (NEDS) update supplied by the State.  Ambient
monitoring data for 1982 and 1983 are included for all  pollutants.
In addition, since the ozone standard is based on a three-year  average,
1981 data are included for ozone.

-------
II.  GRAPHICAL EVALUATION PROCEDURES

A primary goal of the Clean Air Act is the protection of public health
and welfare through the attainment and maintenance of National  Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS's).  Those standards have been set for six
"criteria pollutants" [total  suspended particulates (TSP), sulfur dioxide
(S02), carbon monoxide (CO),  ozone (03), nitrogen dioxide (N02) and
lead (Pb).]  Before the standards were set, studies of the effects of
each pollutant were carefully reviewed and evaluated.  Primary  standards
are designed to protect human health, and are required by law to provide
a margin of safety in order to protect sensitive segments of the popula-
tion.  Secondary standards protect public welfare (crops, building
materials, animals, etc.).  Numerical values of those standards are
given in Table 1.

The regulations which implement the Clean Air Act require that  public
announcement be made and that measures be taken to reduce pollutant
emissions when the ambient concentration exceeds the alert level  for
that pollutant.  Numerical values for these alert levels are also
given in Table 1.

The evaluation of air quality presented in this report is based on the
National Ambient Air Quality  Standards.  So that the results of the
evaluation may be readily seen, the body of the text is designed around
graphic presentations which summarize a wide variety of air quality
information.  Those presentations include two different types of maps.
Detailed numerical  data summaries, from which the graphical  summaries
were prepared, are included as appendices to the report.

The first type of maps show:

     0  the boundaries of designated non-attainment and unclassified
        areas,
     0  the locations and scales of representativeness of ambient
        monitors,
     0  the comparison of ambient data with the standards,
     °  the specific standard(s) exceeded (if any) at each site,
     0  the statistical  trend observed at each site (subject to data
        availability), and
     °  data completeness (relative to the National  Aerometric  Data
        Branch data summary criteria.)

The second type of maps show:

     0  the locations of large point sources (emitting 100 or more tons/year)
     °  the magnitude of emissions for each source
     0  the stack height for  each source, if available from NEDS
     0  the locations of ambient monitors
     0  the monitor type designation—National Air Monitoring Station
        (NAMS), State and Local Air Monitoring Station (SLAMS)  or
        Special Purpose Monitoring Station (SPMS)--for each monitor

The above items are illustrated in the legends to the maps (Tables 2 and  3)
The following paragraphs explain in detail  the interpretation of the maps.
For convenience, an extra copy of the legends, a map with county names,
and a map of population density by county are inserted unbound at the
back of this report.

     A.  Monitoring Data Maps

For each monitor, the symbol  location on the map shows the monitor
location.  The symbol size displays the scale of representativeness of
the monitor - microscale, middle scale, neighborhood scale, urban scale
or regional  scale.  Symbol shading indicates data completeness.  If
the data did not meet the completeness criteria described in Section III.F
in any one year evaluated, an open symbol "0" is shown.  If the data
met the criteria in each year included in the evaluation, a filled
circle is shown.  The symbol  color presents the comparison of recent
monitoring data with the NAAQS's.  Green indicates no violation of the
standards.  Blue depicts violation of the secondary standard, but no
violation of the primary standard.  Red highlights violation of the
primary standard.  If the alert level was exceeded during the years
evaluated, a red flag is placed on top of the symbol.  If any violation
of standards was observed, annotations next to the symbol specify which
standard(s)  was (were) violated.  Red annotations specify primary
standards, while blue annotations specify secondary standards.  Where
the primary and secondary standards are identical, only the primary
standard is shown.  Possible  annotations include A, Q, 24, 8, 3 and 1,
signifying annual, quarterly, 24-hour, 8-hour, 3-hour and 1-hour standards,
respecti vely.

The boundaries of the designated non-attainment areas and unclassified
areas are shown as lines on the map.  Red solid lines outline primary non-
attainment areas, blue solid  lines outline secondary non-attainment areas,
and dashed lines show unclassified areas.  Consequently, if the attainment
status designations are consistent with recent data, red monitor symbols
should appear only in red-outlined areas, and blue monitor symbols only
in blue-outlined areas.

For monitors which have recorded sufficient data during the five years
from 1979 through 1983, trends are presented as an additional  annotation.
The trend labels and their respective symbols are:  increasing trend (t),
probable increasing trend (A), no trend (-), probable decreasing trend
(v), and decreasing trend (4-).  For pollutants which have only short-term
standards (CO and 03), the trend presented  is for the 90th percentile
hourly concentrations observed each month over those five years.
F-or N02, which has only an annual standard, the trend presented~is for
the monthly average concentrations.  For pollutants which have both
short-term and long-term standards (TSP and SO?), two trend symbols are
presented.  The first symbol  is for long-term averages, the second for
90th percentile concentrations.  For lead,  lack of sufficient data and
software precludes trend analysis at this time.  Further details of the
trend analysis procedure are  given later in this report (Section III. C).

The emissions data maps provide an overview of  the  monitoring  network.
No State maps were produced due to incomplete coordinates  for  sources
outside major metropolitan areas.   If the locations and  stack  heights
can be included in the next NEDS update which the State  submits,  those
overviews can be prepared for the  FY-85 air quality evaluation report.

The locations of large point sources are shown  by an asterisk.  The
size of the symbol indicates the magnitude of the emissions, in  three
ranges: 100-1000 tons/year, 1001-5000 tons/year and over 5000  tons/year
The symbol  color indicates the stack height as  follows:   red for  1-45
meters, blue for 46-120 meters, and green for 121 meters or taller.   If
the stack height is shown as zero  in NEDS, a red question  mark replaces
the asterisk.

Ambient monitor locations are shown as squares, circles  or triangles
indicating  NAMS, SLAMS and SPMS monitors, respectively.

III.  DATA DESCRIPTION - Information Sources, Limitations and Analysis
      Procedures

The evaluation procedure described above requires detailed examination
of various kinds of data from various sources.  The following paragraphs
describe the information sources, the limitations and the analysis pro-
cedures for the necessary data.

     A.  Ambient Air Monitoring Data

A network of ambient air monitoring stations has been established by
the State of Kansas, as required by 40 CFR §58.20 and §58.30.  The
network includes not only the required National  Air Monitoring Stations
(NAMS) and State and Local  Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS), but also a
number of Special Purpose Monitoring Stations (SPMS) designed to address
short-term monitoring needs or special situations of interest to the State.

During the early and mid-1970's, an extensive air monitoring network
was maintained across the State, including monitors for all five pollutants
for which NAAQS's had been  established by that time.  (The NAAQS for
lead was promulgated in 1978, and siting criteria for lead monitors
were published as final rules in 1981.)  Because the observed concentra-
tions at most sites were well below the respective standards, the
extent of the network was reduced considerably such that monitoring
resources were focused on populous areas where higher concentrations
had been monitored.  The current network includes monitoring for several
pollutants in Kansas City,  Lawrence, and Wichita, plus particulate
sampling in Topeka, Goodland, Concordia and Dodge City.

The locations of those monitors, shown in the graphical presentations
of this report, were obtained from the site file of the Storage and
Retrieval of Aerometric Data (SAROAD) system.

The ambient data used in this report were obtained from the SAROAD
data base.  A copy of the SAROAD Quick Look Summary is included as
Table Al of the Appendix.  The recorded values were compared with the
alert levels, the primary standards and the secondary standards for
graphical display on the maps.  Data for 1982 and 1983 were used in the
analysis of recent air quality for all six criteria pollutants.  Since
the ozone standard is based on a three-year average, 1981 data were
also included for ozone.  For the analysis of trends, five years of
data (1979 through 1983) were used.

     B.  Precision and Accuracy

Each organization which reports air monitoring data is required to
calculate and report 95 percent probability limits for precision and
accuracy for all NAMS data  collected after January 1, 1981, and for
all SLAMS data collected after January 1, 1983.   Those probability
limits, which are calculated using specific equations from 40 CFR 58

-------
 Appendix  A,  summarize  the  results  of quality control checks which those
 same  regulations  require.   The meaning of the probability limits and
 the  procedures  for  performing the  quality control checks are discussed
 below in  Section  X.

 The  precision and accuracy  reports available in SAROAD as of May 1984
 are  provided as Table  A2 of the  Appendix.

      C.   Trends

 The  trend analyses  were performed  on data from 1979 through 1983, using
 the  same  statistical procedure as  in prior years.  That procedure
 calculates the  Sen  non-parametric  statistic, using the NADB*TRENDRUN
 programs  on  the UNIVAC computer  associated with the National Aerometric
 Data  Branch  (NADB).

 The  analysis procedure can  be visualized as follows.  From all the data
 for  a given  month,  one single value is computed.  The monthly values
 are  adjusted to account for seasonal variation.  Each month's adjusted
 value is  compared with the  value for every preceding month in the
 measurement  period.  Next,  for each month, tallies are made of how many
 preceding months' values were higher and how many were lower than the
 month in  question.  Those  tallies  are then summed to give grand totals
 of months with  higher  readings and months with lower readings.  Those
 two  grand totals  are compared using the Sen statistic to determine
 whether or not  a  statistically significant trend existed.  Appendix B
 gives the detailed  step-by-step  procedure, including the mathematical
 equation  for the  Sen statistic.  That appendix also provides a sample
 calculation.

 The  values used for each month were selected as follows.  Two trend
 calculations were performed for  TSP.  For the first calculation, the
 value used for  a  month was  the geometric mean of all values measured
 during the month.   For the  second  calculation, the value used was the
 90th  percentile 24-hour concentration for all concentrations measured
 during the month.   (Because of the small number of TSP samples each
 month, the 90th percentile  concentration is also the maximum concentra-
 tion.) Two calculations were likewise performed for SOg.  The first
 used  the  monthly  arithmetic mean,  the second the 90th percentile 24-hour
 concentration.  For N02 and Pb,  the monthly arithmetic mean was used.
 For  CO and 03,  which have  only short-term standards, the value used was
 the  90th  percentile 1-hour  concentration.

 As noted  above, the trend  evaluations for short-term high concentrations
.use  90th  percentile concentrations, rather than maximum concentrations.
 The  reason for  that choice  is that the 90th percentile values give more
 stable trend estimates, and minimize the bias which would result from
 extreme values  caused  by data handling errors, unusual weather conditions,
 etc.

-------
 Since  the  trend  evaluation  uses  a  statistical technique, erroneous
 results  could  be  obtained if a limited amount of data were used.
 Minimum  criteria  chosen were at  least 50% complete data for the- five
 years  1979-1983,  and  at least 75%  complete data for at least three of
 those  years.   These criteria disallowed trend evaluation at many mon-
 itoring  sites.

 The results  of recent pollution  abatement actions may not be reflected
 in  the five-year  trend analysis, since concentration increases early in
 the time period  could mask  recent  short-term improvements.  As mentioned
 before,  the  trends are based on  1979 through 1983 data.  The data used
 in  reviewing attainment or  non-attainment of the NAAQS's, however,
 cover  only the periods 1981-1983 for ozone and 1982-1983 for the other
 pollutants.

     D.  Scale of Representativeness

 Spatial  Scales of Representativeness are described in 40 CFR Part 58,
 Appendix D.  The  scale of representativeness identifies the size of an
 air parcel around a monitor which  is homogeneous in terms of pollutant
 concentrations,  population  density and geographical features.  The
 scales pertinent  to the present  analysis are, in order of increasing size:
 microscale (part  of a city  block); middle scale (a few square blocks);
 neighborhood scale  (a few square kilometers); urban scale (the size of
 an  entire  city);  and  regional scale (several hundred to several thousand
 square kilometers, generally in  rural areas).  The air quality analysis
 includes the scale of representativeness for each monitor in order to
 depict the expected geographical extent of the concentrations monitored.
 The scales of  representativeness for the monitors were obtained from
 the report entitled "Annual Ambient Air System Audit of Kansas..." for
 calendar year  1984, which was prepared by Richard Tripp of the United
 States Environmental  Protection  Agency.

     E.  Attainment Status  Designations

 The designations  of attainment,  non-attainment and unclassified areas are
 found  in 40  CFR  §81.317.  The designations used in the analysis are
 included as  Table A3  of Appendix A.  Because of the logistics of graphics
 preparation, a cut-off date of May 1, 1984 was used.  The map presenta-
 tions  show boundaries for non-attainment areas and unclassified areas,
 obtained from  those designations.  In cases where the wording of 40 CFR
 §81.317  does not  provide specific  boundaries, the boundaries were
 obtained from  maps which the state submitted to EPA with the designation
 requests.  Where  non-attainment  or unclassified area boundaries follow
-county lines,  those lines on the map do not precisely coincidev in order
 that both  lines  can be clearly seen.  In some cases, larger discrepancies
 in  the boundaries are evident, because the county boundaries in the ZMAP
 computer mapping  system are not  exact.
                                   10

-------
     F.  Data Completeness

If monitoring data for a site are incomplete,  they  may  give  a  distorted
picture of air quality.  Annual  or quarterly averages calculated  from
incomplete data may be biased either high or low, making  comparisons
with long-term NAAQS's uncertain.  Where the NAAQS's  are  based on short-
term averages (1, 3, 8 or 24 hours), incomplete data  may  reduce the
number of detected exceedances of the standard.  For  all  such  pollutants
except ozone, any bias resulting from incomplete data would  make  short-term
air quality appear better than it actually was.  For  ozone,  the standard
is based on "expected exceedances," which consider  both the  number of
measured exceedances and the time period over which they  were  measured,
in order to project the number of exceedances  expected  for a full  year
of monitoring.  Therefore, incomplete ozone data could  make  the air
quality appear either better or worse.  For the analysis  presented in
this report, the data are considered "complete" if  they include
enough observations (reported as valid)  to meet the minimum  NADB  data
requirements for calculating average concentrations.   (Sites which
do not meet these criteria are indicated by a  question  mark  in Table  Al
of Appendix A).  Those criteria are applied by the  NADB to pollutants
which have NAAQS's based on annual  or quarterly averages  (TSP, S02, NC>2
and Pb).  For CO and 03, however, annual  averages are not computed by
the NADB.  For those two pollutants, a minimum criterion  of  75% complete
data for the entire year is chosen for the analysis in  this  report.

     G.  Emi ssions Data

The emissions data used in this report were obtained  from the  National
Emissions Data System (NEDS).  The graphical  analysis procedure applied
to those data shows the locations and stack heights of  large point
sources.  The emission estimates stored  in NEDS for Kansas sources were
hand-calculated by the KDHE.

On the maps, a single symbol is shown for each plant.   If a  plant has
two or more stacks, it is still  treated  as a single source.   In that
case, the stack height used is a weighted average of  the  heights  of the
individual stacks.  The weighting factors are  the fractions  of the
total emissions coming from each stack.

     H.  Population Data

Population data are used in two contexts in the report.  First, a
map of population density by county is provided at  the  back  of the report.
That map is based on 1980 population data which was obtained directly
from the U.S. Bureau of the Census.  Second,  population exposure
estimates are presented in Section XII for non-attainment areas,  based
on 1970 census data which are available  at a higher level of spatial
resolution.  Those estimates were produced by  Systems Applications,
Inc., using block group and enumeration  district population  data,
and were scaled to approximate 1978 values using county-level  growth
factors.  Appendix C describes the procedures  used  for  those calculations.

IV.  TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICIPATES (TSP)

     A.  Ambient Data and Attainment Status Designations

The State map shows an extensive TSP monitoring network in Kansas City,
Topeka and Wichita, and additional  monitors in three smaller cities in
the central and western portions of the State.  This review will  focus
first on the smaller cities, then on information presented for the larger
cities on inset maps.

Data from Concordia show an annual  geometric mean of 79 ug/rn-^ in  1983
(an apparent violation of the annual primary standard of 75 ug/m^).  The
data showed one and four 24-hour observations in 1982 and 1983, respec-
tively, in excess of 150 ug/nr (apparent violations of the secondary
standards) and one value in 1983 in excess of 260 ug/m^.  Trend analysis
at this site showed no trend in particulate concentration.

Data from Dodge City show no violation of any of the particulate  standards
in 1982 or 1983.  However, the 1982 data from Dodge City were only about
50% complete.

Data from Goodland show six and four 24-hour observations in 1982 and 1983,
respectively, in excess of 150 ug/m^ (apparent violations of the  secondary
standards).  Trend analysis at this site showed a decreasing trend in par-
ticulate concentration.

The fugitive dust policy was described in the Federal Register, Volume 3,
Number 43 (Friday, March 3, 1978) page 8963.

     "EPA's fugitive dust policy recognizes the generally greater
     health impact due to fugitive  dust in urban areas in contrast to
     rural areas.  In urban areas,  the windblown soil contains various
     man-made toxic pollutants.  But, rural windblown dust is usually
     not significantly contaminated by industrial pollutants.  Therefore,
     for the purposes of these designations [TSP attainment status desig-
     nations], any rural areas experiencing TSP violations which  could
     be attributed to fugitive dust could claim attainment of the TSP
     NAAQS.  Rural areas for this purpose are defined as those which
     have:  (1) a lack of major industrial development or the absence
     of significant industrial particulate emissions, and (2) low
     urbanized population densities."

The following comments highlight the detailed analyses presented  on the
inset maps.  The abbreviations PNA  and SNA are used for "primary  non-
attainment area" and "secondary non-attainment area," respectively,
based on current designations.

Kansas City - Data throughout the area show attainment of the primary
standards.  The data showed four and fourteen 24-hour observations in 1982
and 1983, respectively, in excess of 150 ug/rrH (apparent violations of the
secondary standards) at four of the seven monitors in the Kansas  City area.

Three years ago, sample savers were added to TSP monitors in Kansas City.
Data collected with and without the sample savers (since 1981) are not
really comparable for trend analysis, yet the trend analysis covers a

                                   12

-------
five year period.  Also, the Air Pollution Mapping System runs trends
on the entire State.  Therefore, the trend indicators shown on the map
for the Kansas City sites may not be accurate.  However, the use of
recent data is valid for assessing compliance with the NAAQS.

Based on the 1982-1983 data, significant reductions in the sizes of the
non-attainment areas appear justified.  We recommend redesignating the
Fairfax and Ann Street areas to secondary non-attainment and shrinking
the PNA to the Armourdale area.  After industrial  production increases
again, the most current monitoring data should be reviewed to verify
that the primary NAAQS's are still being met in the Fairfax area.  Redesig-
nation of the remaining area to attainment is supported by the data with
the exception of the 8715 west 49th Street site.  The data show six
24-hour observations in 1983 in excess of 150 ug/m^ (apparent violations
of the secondary standards).  If continued monitoring indicates observations
in excess of 150 ug/m^, designation to SNA would be justified.

Topeka - Data continue to show no violation of the NAAQS's during 1982 or
1983.  Those data meet the NADB summary criteria for completeness and trend
analysis show probable decreasing to decreasing pollutant concentrations at
three of the four sites.  Therefore, redesignation of the SNA to attainment
would be supported by the data.

Wichita - Data show three 24-hour observations in 1983 in excess of 150 ug/m^
(apparent violations of the secondary standard), all occurring at one site.
Trend analysis show no trend has developed at this site.  If continued mon-
itoring indicates observations in excess of 150 ug/m-^, designation to SNA
would be justified.

     B.  Emissions Data and Monitor Locations

Particulate point sources are shown for the three cities (Kansas City, Topeka
and Wichita) where coordinates were available.  (The numbers beside the
point source symbols refer to the left-most column of Table A4 of Appendix A.)
The three areas of interest have numerous point sources with emissions in the
range 100 to 1000 tons/year.  Only one plant emits over 1000 tons/year, based
on the NEDS printout, and none emit over 5000 tons/year.  Stack heights are
not available in NEDS for most of the sources.  The monitoring network includes
monitors in most areas with large emissions.

Synopsis and Recommendations

Decreases in monitored TSP concentrations have been observed in recent years
_in each of the designated non-attainment areas, but two sites i_n urban areas
show an increase in TSP concentrations.  Based on the recent data, several
changes in attainment status designations are recommended, as shown in
Table 4.

                                Shrink the primary non-attainment  area
                                to the industrial-residential  area

V.   SULFUR DIOXIDE (S02)

     A.  Ambient Data and  Attainment Status Designations

Sulfur dioxide monitoring  is conducted  at two SLAMS locations  in  the
Kansas City area.  The entire area is designated  as "Better  Than  National
Standards" for SC^.  Since recent monitoring data show no  violation
of standards, that designation remains  consistent with the data.   The
site on Fairfax Road shows an increasing trend in 90th percentile concen-
trations over the period 1979 through 1983.  However,  since  the  second
maximum 24-hour concentrations do not exceed half of the  NAAQS,  it
seems unlikely that the present S02 standards will  be  exceeded in the
Kansas City area in the near future.

     B.  Emissions Data and Monitor Locations

Sulfur dioxide point sources for the Kansas City  area  are  shown.   (The
numbers beside the point source symbols refer to  the left-most column
of Table A4 of Appendix A.)  Those sources show two points emit  in the
range of 100 to 1000 tons/year, three in the 1000 to 5000  tons/year, and
two emit over 10,000 tons/year.  Stack  heights are not available  in
NEDS for most of the sources.  The two  monitors are located  near  the
two largest sources of emissions.

Review of the emissions data for Topeka and Wichita show three sources
emitting in the range of 100-1000 tons/year and two in the range  of
1000-5000 tons/year.

VI.  CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)

     A.  Ambient Data and Attainment Status Designations

Carbon monoxide monitoring is conducted in the Kansas City and Wichita
areas.  The following comments refer to the detailed  analyses presented
on the inset maps.

Kansas City - Data show no violation of the NAAQS's during 1982 or 1983.
Furthermore, those data meet the NADB summary criteria for completeness.
The entire area is designated as "Better Than National Standards".

Wichita - Part of Wichita, including the downtown area, is designated
as non-attainment for CO.  Monitoring data are available in SAROAD from
two SLAMS monitors in the non-attainment area.  In addition,  a special
purpose monitor (SPM) was established in July of 1982 to determine
whether or not maximum CO concentrations were being measured  by the
SLAMS monitors.  Data from the SPM are not available  in SAROAD.  The
1982 data show a few exceedances, but 1983 data show  no exceedances of
the standard.  Data from a peak concentration CO monitoring site should
be included in SAROAD for purposes of determining attainment  status.

     B.  Emissions Data and Monitor Locations

The emissions maps for Kansas City and Wichita show all  point sources
emit less than 1000 tons/year.  As would be expected  for CO,  area sources
are much more significant than point sources in the largest cities. The
current CO monitoring network includes monitors in Kansas City and Wichita,
and addresses the highest priority CO monitoring needs.

VII.  NITROGEN DIOXIDE (N02)

      A.  Ambient Data and Attainment Status  Designations

Monitoring for N02 is conducted in  the Kansas City  area  only  at  619
Ann Street.  Monitoring was resumed in April, 1982,  after  being  dis-
continued in 1979.  Data from the last three  quarters  of 1982 show an
average of about one-third of the standard.   No  data was reported for
the last quarter of 1983 due  to the monitor  not  running  properly.  The
entire area is designated as  "Better Than National  Standards" for N02,
which is consistent with the  most recent  data.

      B.  Emissions Data and  Monitor Locations

Review of Table A4 of the Appendix  for the three largest cities  (Kansas
City, Topeka and Wichita) show that the largest  emissions  came from
power plants with 45% of the  NOX emissions occurring in  the  Kansas
City area.  Stack heights for most  sources are  not  available  in  NEDS.
The current N02 monitoring network  appears adequate  to address the N02
monitoring needs.

VIII.  OZONE (03)

     A.  Ambient Data and Attainment Status Designations

Three counties in Kansas (Wyandotte and Johnson Counties in  the"Kansas
City area, and Douglas County surrounding Lawrence)  are designated as
non-attainment areas for ozone.  SLAMS monitors are  operated in  the
Kansas City and Wichita areas.  A special purpose monitor has been
established in Lawrence to resolve the question of whether or not that
non-attainment designation should be changed.

Ozone is formed by a complex photochemical  reaction  among non-methane
hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere.  The
reaction time is measured in hours, and during that  time the wind usually
carries the pollutants tens of miles from the  locations where the
precursors were emitted.  Therefore, ozone concentrations measured at
a point some 25-50 miles downwind of a city may indicate a need  for
emission reductions throughout the city.  Consequently, the  following
ozone evaluations focus on entire metropolitan areas,  rather than on
limited areas around specific monitors.  Furthermore,  the inset  map for
Kansas City includes both Kansas and Missouri  counties, in order to
show that broader perspective.

Kansas City - The inset map shows limited monitoring data on the Kansas
side.The monitor in Wyandotte County was established early in  1982,
and reported over 98% complete data for 1982 and 1983.  During 1983,
one exceedance of the standard was observed.  (That  was not  a violation
of the standard, since one exceedance per year is allowed.)

Data on the Missouri side show one exceedance  each at  two sites  in 1981,
no exceedance at any site in 1982, and three exceedances at  one  site in
1983.  Atypical meteorological conditions have been  suggested as the pre-
dominant cause of the exceedances in 1983.   The non-attainment designation
remains consistent with the data.

Lawrence - Since the SPMS data have not been reported  to SAROAD,  this
report makes no recommendations regarding changes in the non-attainment
designation.  The data would be included with  any redesignation  request
submitted by the State, and will  be reviewed when such a request is
received.

Wichita - Data from both monitoring sites in the Wichita area show no
violation of the ozone standard, but increasing trends in concentrations.
Continued monitoring is suggested to validate  the trends findings.

     B.  Emissions Data and Monitor Locations

Ozone is formed in the atmosphere by a complex photochemical reaction
involving hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, oxygen and sunlight.   The
reaction may take several hours, resulting  in  maximum  concentrations
well downwind of the locations where the precursors  were emitted.

                                   35

-------
Review of Table A4 of the Appendix  for  the  three  largest  cities  (Kansas
City, Topeka and Wichita) show that 66% of  the  VOC  emissions  occur  in
the Kansas City area.  Stack  heights for most  sources  are not available
in NEDS.  Due to the locations of the sources  (Kansas  City area)  and
the State border, a downwind  site operated  by  the State  is not possible.

Close coordination between the State of Kansas  and  the State  of  Missouri
is encouraged to continue the decrease  in emissions of the precursors.

IX.  LEAD (Pb)

The State established two SLAMS lead monitoring  sites  (including  one
NAMS site) by March 1, 1982,  well  ahead of the deadlines  of July  1,
1982 for NAMS and January 1,  1983 for SLAMS.   In addition,  data were
reported to SAROAD in 1982 for lead analyses  performed  by EPA Headquarters
on TSP Hi-vol filters from one site in Wichita.   None  of  the data showed
any violation of the lead standard.

X.  PRECISION AND ACCURACY

For continuous monitors (CO,  S02,  N02,  and 03),  the regulations  of  40  CFR
Part 58, Appendix A require precision checks in  order to assess  precision
for each pollutant, and audits in  order to assess  accuracy.

Precision checks are performed by  introducing a  gas of known  concentra-
tion into the analyzer, and comparing the concentration reading  from the
monitor with the known concentration of the gas.  These checks are
required every two weeks, and involve one gas concentration.  Audits
likewise involve comparison of known gas concentrations with  the analyzer
readings.  Audits are more extensive than precision checks,  requiring
at least three different concentrations of gases.   Audit of  each analyzer
is required annually, and audit of at least 25%  of the SLAMS  analyzers
for each pollutant is required each quarter.

For manual  methods (TSP, Pb,  S02 bubblers and N02  bubblers),  the regula-
tions require duplicate (collocated) sampling to assess precision and
audits to assess accuracy.  Each collocated sampler is operated  at  the
same time and in the same manner as the SLAMS monitor at the  same site.
The percent difference between the two  sample concentrations  forms  the
basis for precision estimates.  For lead, analysis of duplicate  portions
of a single Hi-vol filter may be substituted for collocated  sampling.

Audits for manual methods differ by method.  For TSP, the audits are
performed by comparing the flow rate indicated by  the Hi-vol  sampler to
the true flow rate determined from a flow standard.  The audit frequency
required for Hi-vol samplers  is the same as that required for continuous
monitors.

Audit procedures for S02 bubblers, N02  bubblers  and Pb, require  that
the analytical measurement process be audited.  Details of those procedures
are found in 40 CFR Part 58,  Appendix A.

Use of specific equations is  required for the calculation of  precision
and accuracy.  Each organization which  reports data is required  to
calculate and report precision and accuracy estimates for all NAMS  data
collected after January 1, 1981, and for all  SLAMS data collected after
January 1,  1983.

Table A2 of Appendix A summarizes  the precision  and accuracy  estimates
reported by the State during  1982  and 1983.  The numbers under the
heading "YR-Q" near the left  of each printout specify the year and
calendar quarter to which the precision and accuracy data apply. (For
example, 82-2 refers to the second quarter of 1982.)   Composite  data
for the entire year are identified as quarter number 5.  (For example,
82-5 gives the estimates for  the full  calendar year 1982).

The accuracy estimates are arranged by  concentration  levels  LI (low
concentration) through L4 (high concentration).  Specific ranges for the
concentration levels are required  by 40 CFR 58,  Appendix A, as follows:

                                  43

The precision and accuracy estimates are expressed as 95% probability
limits, as required by the same regulations.   The meaning of those
limits is illustrated by the following three  examples taken from Table A2.

     a.  The precision data for CO show composite limits of -07 and +04
for calendar year 1983 (line 83-5), based on  a total  of 64 precision
checks.  Therefore, 95% of the precision checks would be expected to
fall between 7% below and 4% above the known  concentration of the test
gas used for the precision checks.

     b.  The accuracy data for S02 show limits of -20 and +01 for the
audits performed at concentration level  2 (column L2) during the fourth
quarter of 1982 (line 82-4).  Therefore, 95%  of the audits performed
at that time at that concentration level would be expected to fall
between 20% below and 1% above the known concentration of the audit
gas.

     c.  The precision data for TSP show probability  limits of -20 and +09
for the first quarter of 1982 (line 82-1), based on 23 valid collocated
data pairs.  Therefore, 95% of the concentrations measured by the
collocated sampler would be expected to fall  between  20% lower and 9%
higher than the corresponding concentrations  measured at the same time
by the SLAMS monitor at the same site.

The following observations are drawn from Table A2.

TSP           The precision and accuracy data reflect conscientious
              performance of the required collocated  sampling and monitor
              audits.

S02           The number of audits have doubled since 1982 showing a
              conscientious performance of the required monitor audits.

CO            The total number of audits is more than the minimum number
              required by 40 CFR 58 Appendix  A, an encouraging^trend.
                                   44

-------
N02           Precision and accuracy estimates are required for SLAMS
              monitors beginning on January 1, 1983.   Precision checks
              were performed, however,  no audits were.  We encourage
              the State to ensure that  at least the required minimum
              number of N02 audits are  performed.

03            The precision and accuracy data reflect conscientious
              performance of the required monitor audits.

Pb            The precision and accuracy data reflect conscientious
              performance of the required collocated  sampling and monitor
              audits.
The overall  conclusion which emerges from the precision and accuracy
summaries is that the State has conscientiously performed the data
assessment and reporting activities required by 40 CFR 58, Appendix  A.
We commend the State personnel, and encourage them to continue those
efforts to provide timely assessments of precision and accuracy.

The S0£ site in Fairfax showed an increasing  trend  in  the  90th  percentile
and a decreasing trend in the monthly arithmetic  mean.

In last years report (EPA 907/9-83-004),  the  CO site  at  1900 East  Ninth
Street in Wichita showed violations of the 8-hour primary  standard and an
increasing trend in the 90th percentile.   This  site showed no exceedances
in 1983 and, due to a problem in the trends software,  we were unable  to
run trends at this site this year.
In summary, the trend analyses
than with worsening trends.
                    show more sites with improving  trends
                                   46

-------
XII.  POPULATION EXPOSURE

Population exposure to elevated pollutant concentrations is difficult
to measure accurately.  (People spend varying amounts of time in
different parts of a city which may have localized areas with high
pollutant concentrations.  Population estimates within such localized
areas are difficult to compute manually because that calculation requires
locating and summing the populations of numerous small, detailed geogra-
phical areas.)  Previous attempts to estimate population exposure have
focused on populations of entire counties or metropolitan areas, even
though the designated non-attainment areas were only portions of those
counties or cities.  While such approximations are understandable,
given the difficulty of obtaining and using population data with more
detailed spatial resolution, they may greatly overestimate the populations
exposed to elevated pollutant concentrations.  A better approximation
of exposed population would be a determination of just that segment of
the population living within the designated non-attainment areas.  (For
03, while that number may over-estimate the population actually exposed
to high ozone concentrations, it should closely approximate the population
affected by pollution control measures.) At our request, Systems Applications,
Inc. (SAI) has developed software to estimate the population within any
given closed polygon, using the detailed census Block Group/Enumeration
District data in their computer data base.  The non-attainment areas
shown on the maps in Sections IV through VIII of this report were sent
to SAI for computation of the enclosed populations.  Table 5 summarizes
the results of those calculations.  The population density maps from
which the table was prepared are shown in Appendix C.  That Appendix
also describes the calculation procedure more fully.

It should be noted that redesignations were recommended which would
reduce the size of some non-attainment areas.  The populations in the
table show that significant numbers of people have benefitted from the
recent reductions in pollutant concentrations.

XIII.  SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

     A.  Attainment Status Designations

The evaluations of ambient air quality based on recent monitoring
data found the attainment status designations to be generally consistent
with recent data.  Recommendations were made in this report for attainment
status changes for TSP.  The TSP recommendations, which were summarized
in Table 4, would redesignate the remaining secondary non-attainment
area in Topeka to attainment, and would significantly reduce the size of
the primary and secondary non-attainment areas in Kansas City.

     B.  Air Quality Concern Areas

One area of the State exceeded the primary (health-related) NAAQS's for
the period of this study.

     0  CO data collected at two sites in Wichita show a few exceedances
        of the 8-hour primary standard in 1982, but not in 1983.

We encourage the State personnel to continue their efforts to reduce
the CO concentrations in Wichita.

In recent years, there have been reductions in both the number and the
size of areas which exceed the primary standards.  Those reductions are
encouraging indications of progress made by the State and local  agencies.

     C.  Monitor Operation

The monitors were operated in such a way that the data from those monitors
generally meet or exceed the minimum completeness criteria used by the
National Aerometric Data Bank.  The precision and accuracy data generally
indicate a conscientious effort toward meeting the data assessment and
reporting requirements of 40 CFR 58, Appendix A.  The overall picture
of monitor operation shows commendable performance by State and local
agency personnel.

                    Statistical Evaluation of Trends

The trend evaluation procedure used in the air quality evaluation is based
on the Sen non-parametric statistic.  The procedure was recommended by
Vector Research, Incorporated, in a study performed under contract
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  It was selected over
other.candidate methods as the method which gives the highest probability
of detecting real trends.  Essential advantages of the method include
the following:

1.  It takes the seasonality of data into account.

2.  It deals with autocorrelation effects in data collected at frequent
intervals e.g., hourly.  (Autocorrelation is the tendency for data measured
at nearby times to be more similar than data measured at more distant
times).

3.  It does not assume that the data are normally distributed.

4.  It identifies continuing trends, even if there is some oscillation
around the trend line.

The latest draft report of the study,  "Methods for Classifying Changes
in Environmental Conditions" [VRI-EPA 7.4-FR80-l(R)] describes in more
detail the other candidate methods and the advantages of the Sen statistical
test.

A step-by-step summary of the trend evaluation procedure is given in the
following paragraphs,  which were adapted from the above report.

1.  Compute one data value for each month of each year.  For high-frequency
data series in which autocorrelation may be present (e.g., continuous
monitor data), a monthly average will  correct for that autocorrelation.
Alternatively, if trends in high pollutant concentrations at a site are
of greater interest, the 90th percentile concentration for each month
is used.  (The 90th percentile concentration produces a more stable
statistical estimate than would the maximum concentration.)

2.  Compute the seasonal  average of the data for each calendar month,
(i.e., compute the average of all  January values,  the average of all
February values, etc.).  Subtract  the  appropriate  seasonal  average from
the value for each month to obtain seasonally adjusted data.

3.  Rank the seasonally adjusted data.   Replace  each adjusted datum
with its rank.  (This  step makes the procedure non-parametric.  It
eliminates the requirement for different statistical  methods for different
series of data with different distributional  laws  governing  their
random behavior.  It also limits the potential  error-producing effects
of outliers.)

4.  Compute the Sen test statistic,  S,  from the  formula

            12 T2                         's—  /    Y + 1\   /       TY +  1
                                 -
                      (Ryt -R.t)2
                                  70

-------
where

   Y = number of years
   y = the index of the year (the index  of first  year  is  1,  of  the  second
       year, 2, etc.)
   T = number of periods per year (12)
   t = the index of the month (the index for January  is  1,  for  February  2,  etc.)
   Ryt = the rank of the seasonally adjusted value  for month t  of year y
   R.t = t^ie mean ran'( f°r month t over  aH  tne years
   RV  = the mean rank over all  months  for year y

The significance of the individual  parts of that  formula  is  described as follows,

   a)  For each year, Ry^ is computed  by averaging  the ranks of the
seasonally adjusted data'for that year.   This will  be  large  if  the  data
in that year are higher than that in other years, small  if  the  data are
smaller.  Thus, an increasing trend in  this mean  rank  indicates an
increasing trend in the data through the years.  Likewise,  a decreasing
trend in the mean ranks indicates a decreasing trend  in  the  data.

   b)  The term

                /         \   /
                                 _  TY  +
represents the covariance between  the mean  rank  for  a year  and  the  index
of that year.  When large annual mean ranks (Ry>  -  (TY  +  l)/2 positive)
occur in late years (y-(Y+l)/2 positive)  or small annual  mean ranks
(Ry  - (TY + l)/2 negative)  occur  in  early  years  (y-(Y+l)/2 negative)  a
positive product will  result.   Thus,  an  accumulation of positive  products,
and therefore, a large positive result,  is  associated with  a positive
trend.  Similarly, an  accumulation of negative  products,  and a  large
negative result, is associated with a negative  trend.

   c)  The first term  of the equation is  a  scale  factor which normalizes
the covariance calculated above.   It  is  a data-based estimate of  the
expected standard deviation  of the covariance  statistic if  there  were
no trend.  The scaling adjusts the covariance  statistic so  that it may
be compared with tabulated percentile values of  the  normal  probability
distribution, rather than requiring the  generation of special tables
uniquely applicable to this  statistic.

5.  If the statistic exceeds (in either  direction) the  appropriate
percentile values of the tabulated normal probability distribution, a
statistically significant trend is present.  If  it does not exceed those
values, no statistically significant  trend  is  present.
                                  71

-------
Specifically, if the Sen statistic exceeds +_ 1.645 (the 90th percent!le
values of the normal distribution for a two-tailed test), we conclude
that the data show a trend.  If the statistic does not exceed those
limits, but does exceed _+1.28 (the 80th percentile values), we conclude
that the data show a probable trend.  Otherwise, we conclude that no sta-
tistically significant trend is shown by the data.

The following example illustrates the above process.   While the trend
calculations are usually performed by a computer, and include five years
of data, the example shows how the calculations can be done manually.
The example uses only three years of data, so that the calculation can
be more easily followed.

Monthly geometric mean TSP data provide the starting  point for the
calculation.  The monthly values and the seasonal averages are:

values of the normal  distribution),  we conclude (with greater than 90%
confidence) that the data show a decreasing trend.

                               APPENDIX C
                     Population Exposure Estimates

As Section XIV of this report described, previous estimates of population
exposure to elevated concentrations have focused on county-level  populations
in areas where all or portions of a county had been designated "as not
meeting the NAAQS's for specific pollutants.   Those approximations tend  to
overestimate, and sometimes greatly so, the population exposure.   In
order to refine those estimates, populations  within the designated
non-attainment areas were desired.  Systems Applications, Inc. (SAI), of
San Rafael, California has written the software necessary to compute
population estimates within any arbitrary closed polygon at any location
in the United States.  The procedure used is  based in part on the high
resolution population gridding program used in the SHEAR model for
estimating population exposure to air pollutants (Anderson and Lundberg,
1983).  Robert G. Ireson was the SAI project  manager for the current
study.  Funding for the project came through  EPA Headquarters.  Tim Matzke
(Environmental Results Branch, OMSE) provided the necessary coordination.
The assistance of both of those individuals is gratefully acknowledged.

This Appendix gives a general description of  the software, and provides
copies of the program outputs, including population density maps.
Since those maps show approximate population  densities by square  kilometer,
they may be useful as a reference for other analyses, in addition to
the population exposure estimates.  The abbreviations PNA and SNA in the
map titles stand for "Primary Non-Attainment  Area" and "Secondary
Non-Attainment Area," respectively.

The starting point for the population estimation is a set of points
which define a closed polygon (the non-attainment area).  These points
were initially obtained by digitizing the outline of each non-attainment
area from appropriate maps.  Those points were used both in constructing
the non-attainment area boundaries shown in the body of the report,
and as input to the population estimation software.

The SAI software checks each polygon to verify closure, and selects a
cell size which is appropriate to the size of the non-attainment  area
of interest.  Map scale is also adjusted according to the size of the
area.  Comparison of the Kansas City 03 map (2 km x 2 km cells) with the
Topeka TSP map (1 km x 1 km cells) illustrates both effects.  Maps are
plotted with Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate axes, and include
a border extending four cell widths beyond the boundary of the area of
i nterest.

The program searches the population data file, which contains the locations
of the centroids of all census block groups and enumeration districts
(BG/ED's), and the population of each BG/ED.   It assigns each_centroid
to the appropriate cell in the final grid, and distributes the population
for each BG/ED according to the density of centroids and the size of
the cells.  It then calculates the population density for each cell.
Individual cells are classified as being inside the polygon, outside
the polygon, or divided by the polygon.  The  population within the
                                 75

-------
polygon is estimated by adding up the populations of all  cells  in  the
polygon.  For cells divided by the polygon,  the relative  areas  inside
and outside are used to estimate the population inside.

The population extraction and gridding program produces a listing,  by
county, of the number and total population of the BG/ED's extracted for
the grid.  For completeness, those listings  are also included.   Where
the geographical density of the BG/ED's centroids is low, the populations
may be spread over a large number of cells,  especially near the edges
of the final  grid.  In those cases, (which appear on the  map as large
areas with uniform low density), population  density  estimates may  be
shifted into or out of the polygon.  If the  total  population is small,
that effect may significantly change the estimate for population within
the polygon.

Because of the approximations discussed above, the population estimates
in the text were rounded to the nearest 1000.  Where total  population
is low, and the non-attainment area boundary coincides with the city
limits, the city population from census tables was used,  rather than
the estimate from the computer-produced population density map.
