1982 ANNUAL REPORT ON AIR QUALITY
IN NEW ENGLAND
This report represents 1982 annual air quality information for all
states in New England. The majority of the data included in this report
was sut itted to EPA by the states from their ambient monitoring networks
in accordance with 40 CFR 58 . The only data from industrial monitors
which have been included are from EPA—required networks in Massachusetts
and New Hampshire, and from Maine’s licensing program which supplements
the state’s network.
This report is intended to list potential nonattainment areas for
planning purposes. The majority of data used has been evaluated and
verified by EPA; however, for the areas listed as nonattaininent, the data
may require further evaluation by both EPA and the states.
Table 1 is a summary of the status of the National Air Monitoring
Sites (NANS) and the State/Local Air Monitoring Sites (SLAMS) submitting
data to Region I. This table lists the number of sites operating, the
required number of sites, the number of sites reporting precision and
accuracy data, and the number of sites not meeting EPA minimum data
capture requirements.
Table 2 shows the number of stations violating the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAOS) and the total number of stations reporting
data during 1982. There were no stations in violation of the 24—hour
primary SO 2 standard, the 3—hour secondary SO 2 standard, or the annual
primary SO 2 standard. For particulates, four stations were in violation
of the 24—hour primary standard, and thirty stations were in violation of
the 24—hour secondary standard. The annual primary standard was violated
at one station. Eight stations were in violation of the CO 8—hour
primary standard, and one station was In violation of the 1—hour primary
standard. For ozone, there were twenty stations in violation of the 1—hour
primary standard. No stations violated the NO 2 annual standard or the
lead quarterly standard.
Table 3 lists every state site in New England. The information
presented compares the measured values to each NAAOS. The information
included is the number of exceedences, the maximum and second high values,
and the annual means (geometric mean for TSP, arithmetic mean or average

-------
for SO 2 and NO 2 ). Those stations reporting a maximum above the standard,
but a second high below the standard are included in this table. For
intermittent data, an annual mean is not valid unless there are four
valid quarters. To be considered valid, a quarter must have at least
five values; and if any one month is missing, each of the other two months
must have two or more values. For continuous data, 75 percent of the
year must be available to calculate a valid annual average.
Table 4 shows the number of stations violating the NAAOS by Air
Ouality Control Region (AOCR), as well as the total number of monitors in
each AOCR. A map delineating the AOCRs in Region I is included at the
end of this table (Figure 1).
Table 5 has been developed to point out areas where air quality
levels have exceeded the emergency, warning, or alert episode levels. An
air pollution alert (warning or emergency) will be called when specified
pollutant concentrations are reached provided that meteorological condi-
tions are such that these levels can be expected to persist for 12 hours
or more. In the case of ozone, an alert (warning or emergency) will be
called if the situation is likely to reoccur within the next 24 hours.
Episode levels were reached or exceeded for particulates at two sites;
for CO at two sites; and for ozone at three sites.
Tables 6 and 7 list the precision and accuracy data submitted by the
six New England states. The 95% probabilIty limits for five criteria
pollutants are given as a network average for each state.
Table 8 lists the results from the Region I audit program for TSP,
SO 2 , O, NO 2 , and 03. The results presented on a state—by—state basis
give the number of satisfactory, marginal, and unsatisfactory audits.
Tables 9 and 10, respectively, list the nonattainment areas in New
England with the last reported violation and the attainment and unclass—
if ied areas in which there were 1982 violations to NAAOS.
Following Table 10 is a discussion of air quality trends in New
England for the criteria pollutants. This discussion includes several
charts of selected air quality montoring sites which show a linear regres-
sion of the deseasonalized monthly means for TSP, SO 2 , and CO during
the last five years. For ozone, a chart of the nuriber of days exceeding
the standard each year for the last five years Is used.

1982 PRECISION AND ACCURACY DATA
Current Federal Regulations require that each State report both
precision and accuracy data for all data from National Air Monitoring
Sites (MANS). For State/Local Monitoring Sites (SLAMS) precision and
accuracy is required after January 1, 1983; however, the States may
voluntarily report this data for 1982. Tables 6 and 7 list the precision
and accuracy data submitted by the six New England States. The data
listed in these tables are the upper and lower 95% probability limits in
percent difference from a known standard reported as a network average.
The accuracy data in Table 7 are only for the lowest reported concentra-
tion range. For TSP, the accuracy limits apply only to the flow measure-
ment, and the precision limits are the 95% confidence limits between
co—located monitors.
From these tables, CO has the lowest probability limits. All the
other pollutants reported are, in general, within approximately ± 15%.
Although no acceptance critieria have been set by EPA to date, Region I
expects this type of performance to be satisfactory. For comparison, the
1982 national. statistics are included on Tables 6 and 7.
In most cases, the numbers reported represent an improvement over
1981. This is especially true for Massachusetts which has shown a sig-
nificant improvement in TSP and NO 2 precision data and SO 2 and NO 2 accuracy
data; and for Connecticut which has shown a significant improvement in
03 precision data and SO 2 and 03 accuracy data. Areas where the range
exceeds 25% and improvements are still needed include Maine’s TSP pre-
cision data, New Hampshire’s SO 2 precision data, and Massachusetts’ 03
and NO 2 accuracy data.

REGION I 1982 AUDIT PROGRAM
A total of 188 audits were conducted in the six New England States
for TSP, SO 2 , CO, NO 2 , and 03 by personnel from Region I and an EPA
contractor (RTI). In general, the results were very good with 164 audits
(88%) satisfactory, 14 audits (7%) marginal, arid only 10 audits (5%)
unsatisfactory. In all cases, this represents an improvement over 1981.
NO 2 showed the most improvement. In 1981, 20% of the total number
of audits for this pollutant were unsatisfactory; however, in 1982, only
9% of the audits were unsatisfactory. Given the difficulty in operating
the NO analyzers, this is an excellent achievement.
Although the results for TSP show six unsatisfactory audits, three
of these values were questioned by Connecticut. The State made a strong
case for air leaks being the cause of the unsatisfactory audits. However,
since State personnel witnessed air leak checks during the audits, and no
leaks were documented, we can find no reason for deleting these audit
results. In general, TSP audits were excellent with approximately 95%
of the audits being acceptable.
For the CO and SO 2 , the results were excellent with all CO audits
being satisfactory and only one SO 2 audit rated as marginal. For 03, the
results were not as good as expected for Massachusetts with one unsatis-
factory audit and two marginal audits out of nine audits performed. The
03 audits for the other States were excellent with 96% of the audits
being satisfactory. Table 8 suimnarizes the results of the audit program
on a state—by—state basis.

AIR OUALITY SUMMARIES AND TRENDS
The next several pages contain a discussion of the air quality and
selected trends for each of the New England States. The data for these
analyses were collected by the New England States and were submitted to
EPA in fulfillment of the Federal monitoring requirements.
In evaluating the five—year urban air quality trends throughout New
England, a statistical program package developed by Region 5 was used to
help characterize the trends for TSP, CO, and SO 2 sites. Due to an insuf-
ficient data base, these programs were not employed for Pb, 03, and NO 2 .
This statistical program segments the data at each site into monthly cells,
produces monthly means, deseasonalizes these monthly means by aligning the
data for various years (in this case, five years 1978—1982) for each common
month, performs a linear regression on these deseasonalized monthly means,
and finally computes two test statistics which indicate the relative sig-
nificance of any trends identified. To be consistent with the appropriate
National Ambient Air Ouality Standards (NAAOS), geometric means are used
for TSP, while arithmetic means are used for the other pollutants. TSP,
CO and SO 2 trend lines for selected air monitoring sites are presented
in Figures 2 through 4.
A different approach was used to present ozone trends. Ozone viola-
tions only occur during the late spring and summer months in New England.
Monitoring is conducted from April through October only; consequently, the
deseasonalized linear regression lines would be of little value. Figure 5
s1x ws a plot of the number of days over the standard for selected sites in
Bridgeport and Stratford, Connecticut; Portland, Maine; Boston, Massa-
chusetts; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; and Kent County, Rhode Island. Since
most current ozone sites that are located in urban areas are relatively
new, there were insufficient trend data for the sites with the expected
maximum impact. However, the sites selected for this figure do show trends
similar to what would be expected for the maximum impact sites. When using
the ozone trend lines, please remember that meteorology plays a very impor-
tant and complex role In the formation of ozone. Given the limited data
base used for the ozone analysis and the yearly variation In meteorology,
it is possible that the apparent reductions in ozone levels are a result
of normal variations due to the yearly fluctuations in meteorology rather
than actual reductions in emissions.

1982 CONNECTICUT AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TSP
There were no violations or exceedences of the primary National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). However, exceedences of the secondary stan-
dards were measured in Ansonia, Wallingford, and Waterbury. The highest
annual geometric mean was measured in Bridgeport and was 75% of the NAAQS.
Annual geometric means were 65% of the standard in Hartford, 64% in New
Haven, and 65% in Waterbury. The second highest daily average was measured
in Ansonia and was 57% of the primary daily NAAOS. The second maximum daily
average in the larger urban areas ranged from 30% to 55% of the primary
daily N&AQS. Rural background levels were approximately 30% of the annual
standard and 40% of the secondary daily standard. In general, the 1982
TSP levels were lower than those reported in 1980 or 1981. The five—year
trend lines were prepared for eleven sites and are considered representa-
tive of the entire State. All eleven had decreasing trends at the 99%
confidence level. The trend lines for both Bridgeport and Hartford are
listed in Figure 2.
Lead
There were no violations to the NA.AOS reported in 1982. The highest
quarterly average was measured in Waterbury and was only 60% of the NAAOS.
Maximum quarterly averages in the other urban areas ranged from 30% to
50% of the standard. The maximum quarterly average at any rural back-
ground site was approximately 15% of the MAAOS.
Co
Hartford, New Britain, and Stamford reported 8—hour CO violations in
1982. No exceedences or violations to the 1—hour NAAOS were reported.
The levels for CO were similar to 1981 and were lower than in 1980. At the
Stamford site, the number of 8—hour violations were reduced from 240 in
1980 to 111 in 1981 and there were only 5 violations recorded in 1982. The
five—year trend lines for Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain, New Haven, and
Stamford show a significant decreasing trend. The Bridgeport CO site is
included in Figure 3.
70
-------
No violations or exceedences to the NAAOS were measured in 1982. The
maximum SO 2 annual averages occurred in Bridgeport and Milford and were
approximately 50% of the NkAOS. Annual averages were 45% of the annual
NAAOS fri Hartford, 44% in New Haven, and 30% in Waterbury. The highest
daily SO 2 levels were measured in Milford, the maximum being 64% of the
NAAOS. The second highest daily averages measured in the major urban
areas were approximately 40% of the daily NAAOS. Currently there are no
rural background monitors for SO 2 operation in Connecticut. In general,
the 1982 SO 2 annual averages were the same or slightly lower than in
1981 or 1980; however, the maximum and second highest daily averages in
almost every case were higher in 1981 than in either 1980 or 1982. The
five—year trends for eight sites were analyzed. Sites in Danbury, New
Haven, and Waterbury showed a significant decreasing trend. Sites in
Hartford and Stamford, while having a negative slope, had no significant
trend. The site in Milford had a significant increasing trend. In
Bridgeport, the maximum concentration site at the Hallet Street trailer
had a significant decreasing trend, while the population site at the City
Hall had a significant increasing trend. Figure 4 shows the Hallet
Street trend line.
22
The three NO 2 SLANS which are located in Bridgeport, East Hartford,
and New Haven reported values of between 20% to 30% of the annual stan-
dard. For 1981, the East Hartford site was the only site that reported
data. The data showed a level of 38% of the standard in 1981 versus 21%
of the standard in 1982.
23
Every site in Connecticut reported between 6 days and 22 days over
the primary NAAOS. The maximum daily reading was 0.237 ppm. In 1981,
the 03 levels were higher with between 6 days and 24 days reported to
be over the NAAOS. The maximum daily reading was 0.303 ppm for 1980 and
0.274 for 1981. Figure 5 shows a plot of the five—year ozone data versus
the number of exceedences for Bridgeport and Stratford.

1982 MAINE AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUMMARY
TSP
Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAOS) violations
were reported in Lincoln, Madawaska, and Presque Isle. A primary daily
exceedence was measured in Augusta. Secondary standards violations were
reported in Auburn, Augusta, Bangor, Brewer, Bucksport, Jay, Lewiston,
Lincoln, Madawaska, Millinocket, Old Town, Presque Isle, Thomaston, and
Westbrook. Au exceedence was reported in Biddeford, Brunswick, Fairfield,
Madison, Mexico, Oxford County, Portland, and Waterville. The annual
geometric mean was 65% of the NAAOS In Portland, 70% in Lewiston, 70% in
Bangor, and 65% in Augusta. Similar TSP levels were reported in 1980
and 1981. The microscale lead site in Portland reported NAAOS violations
for TSP; however, this site does not meet siting criteria for TSP. The
TSP site with the best air quality was Creasey Ridge, Mapleton, with
reported levels of 17% of the annual NAAOS and 10% of the daily secondary
standard.
The five—year trend analysis were performed on 41 TSP sites in Maine.
Of these 41 sites, the analysis shows significant increasing trends in
the following six sites: Lincoln, Madawaska, Presque Isle (2 sites), and
Westbrook (2 sites). Fourteen sites showed a nonsignificant trend,
although the trend was positive for the following seven sites: Augusta,
Biddeford, Jay, Lewiston, Lincoln, South Portland, and Thomaston. The
remaining 21 sites showed a significant downward trend. Figure 2 shows
the five—year trend lines for Lewiston and South Portland.
Lead
There were no violations of the quarterly lead NAAQS. The maximum
concentration measured in Portland (microscale site) was 42% of the stan-
dard. There were no background sites operated in Maine. Neighborhood
scale sites in the state never exceeded 30% of the standard. In general,
lead levels were similar to the 1981 levels and were lower than those
measured in 1980.
72
-------
CO
The only CO monitoring site in the State is located In Bangor.
Reported CO levels decreased slightly at this site. The second highest
concentration was 28% of the 1—hour NAAOS, and for the 8—hour NAAOS, the
second highest concentration was 70% of the standard. The 1980 levels at
this site were 34% of the 1—hour standard and 94% of the 8—hour standard.
The 1981 levels were 28% of the 1—hour standard and 83% of the 8—hour
standard. The five—year trend line for Bangor (see Figure 3) and Lewiston
show a significant downward trend.
22
No primary daily violations of NAAOS were measured in Maine. A primary
exceedence was measured in Madawaska. SO 2 levels in Madawaska were approxi-
mately the same for 1980 and 1981, with a maximum daily average of 321
ug/m 3 in 1980, 353 ug/m 3 in 1981, and 365 uglm 3 in 1982. In Millinocket,
the addition of a new stack at a major industrial facility has reduced the
number of primary violations to zero in both 1981 and 1982. There were
23 violations reported in 1980. Maximum daily averages in Millinocket
were reduced from 609 ug/m 3 in 1980 to 188 ug/m 3 in 1981, and In 1982,
the reported maximum value was 202 ug/m 3 . The annual SO 2 average in
Portland was 45% of the NAAOS and approximately 40% of the daily standard.
The Portland 1982 levels were the same as the 1981 levels and slightly
less than the 1980 levels. There are no state operated rural background
SO 2 sites in Maine. Figure 4 shows a significant downward five—year
trend for Portland. In addition, both SO 2 sites in Madawaska and three
sites in Millinocket all show significant downward trends. However, both
sites analyzed in Mexico, the Carter property and Riverside, showed
significant increasing trends.
22
Maine is not required to monitor NO 2 and currently does not operate
any NO 2 monitoring sites.
73
-------
23
Of the seven sites operated in Maine, only the Cape Elizabeth (Portland)
site reported uxre than one day over the NAAQS. The Cape Elizabeth site
reported five days over the standard, while the Gardner, Hancock County,
and York County sites reported only one day over the standard. In 1981,
the Cape Elizabeth site also reported five days over the standard, and the
Gardner site reported one day above the standard. In 1981, the site in
Caribou reported a maximum daily concentration of 58% of the NAAOS. For
both 1980 and 1981, this site reported the lowest 03 levels in New England.
The Caribou site was not operated in 1982. For 1982, the lowest site in
Maine was at ostigan which reported a daily maximum of 87% of the NAAOS.

1982 MASSACHUSETTS AMBIENT AIR OUALITY SUMMARY
TSP
There were no reported violations to the primary National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAOS). However, a primary daily exceedence was
reported in Boston. Secondary standard violations were reported in Boston
and Mt. Toni, while exceedences were reported in Ouincy and Pittsfield.
The highest TSP site in Boston was 93% of the annual NAAOS. The highest
site in Springfield was 70% of the annual NkAOS, while in Worcester the
highest site was 65% of the annual standard. Both the Springfield and
Worcester data were higher in 1981 than in either 1980 or 1982. The
data at the Columbus Avenue site in Boston showed an increase over the
1981 levels. In 1982, data from the Fire Headquarters site — the second
highest site in Boston — showed a decrease from both 1980 and 1981.
Rural background levels were approximately one—third of the annual primary
and daily secondary standards.
A total of 25 sites were analyzed for the five—year trends. Of
these, 19 showed a significant downward trend, and six sites had no sig-
nificant trend. Of these six, four sites located in Boston, Fitchburg,
Lawrence, and Taunton had a positive slope. The five—year trend line for
the Fire Headquarters site in Boston and the Howard School In Springfield
are included in Figure 2. Both sites had a significant downward slope.
Lead
Lead monitoring began in both Boston and Springfield during 1982. No
violations to NAAOS were reported. The maximum site in Boston reported
a value 72% of the standard, and a Springfield site reported a value
of 84% of the standard.
CO
Although it appears to have been a result of construction activitlty
in the area, there was one violation to the 1—hour CO NAAOS which was
measured in Boston. Also, Boston was the only city to report violations
to the 8—hour NAAOS with a total of 20 violations recorded. The Boston
75
-------
microscale site showed similar levels in 1981. Based on three years of
data, this microscale site is the only CO site in New England to show a sig-
nificant increasing trend. The CO site at Kenmore Square continued to
report a decrease in Co levels. Figure 3 shows the five—year decreasing
trend. Neighborhood (suburban) CO levels were approximately 40% of the
1—hour standard and 95% of the 8—hour standard in Boston. These neighbor-
hood levels are, for the 8—hour averaging time, higher than 1981 levels.
The 1981 levels were 75% of the standard. This neighborhood site shows no
significant trend.
!22
There were no violations to any NAAOS reported in 1982. The maximum
State site, located in Boston, was 60% of the annual standard and 35% of
the daily standard. This Boston site (Keninore Square) showed a slight
decrease in the annual average from 1980 and 1981 levels. Figure 4 shows
the five—year trend line for this site. However, there is no significant
trend over the five years. SO 2 levels in Springfield and Worcester were
approximately one—third of the annual standard and 40% of the daily stan-
dard. Rural background levels were approxir ately 20% of the annual and
daily standards. These levels are similar to the levels measured in 1981.
In addition to the Boston Kenmore Square site, a total of six additional
sites were evaluated for five—year trends. The sites in Fall River,
Fitchburg, Medfield, Pittsfield, and Springfield all showed significant
decreasing trends. Based on three years of data, the other site in Boston
at Breman Street was evaluated. This site had a significant increasing
trend.
Only two sites in Massachusetts reported enough data to calculate valid
annual averages. The Boston site was 43% of the NAAQS in 1982 and 56% in
1981. The site in Worcester was 18% of the standard for 1982.
9-3
Violations continued to be reported throughout Massachusetts. Sites in
the Boston, Brockton, Lawrence, Springfield, and Worcester urban areas all
reported violations. In general, the ozone levels were similar in 1981 and
76
-------
1980, with the highest second maximum day in the State measuring 0.162 ppm
in 1982, 0.165 ppm in 1981, and 0.177 ppm in 1980. Over the last three
years, the site with the maximum number of measured days over the standard,
is located in the Springfield area. The site reported a reduction from
nine days over the standard in 1980 to seven in 1981 and four days in
1982. In the Boston urban area, there were three days over the standard
In 1982 versus five days in 1980 and two days In 1981. In Worcester,
there were four days over the standard in 1981, six days over the standard
in 1980 and only one day in 1982. Figure 5 shows the five—year plot of
the number of days over the standard for the Medfield site which is located
in the Boston urban area.

1982 NEW HAMPSHIRE AMBIENT AIR QUALITY SUHMARY
TSP
The only site reporting violations to primary National Ambient Air
fluality Standards (NAAOS) was in Berlin. There was an annual violation
as well as three daily violations at the Lancaster Street site in Berlin.
Secondary TSP violations were measured in Berlin and Dover, while a second-
ary exceedence was reported in Keene and Portsmouth. The annual geometric
mean in Manchester was 58% of the NA.AOS. The rural background site in
Winches ter reported an annual geometric mean of 34% of the annual stan-
dard and a maximum daily level of 40% of the secondary NAAQS. In general,
1982 TSP levels were lower than 1981. Twenty—two sites were analyzed for
trends. Of these, two sites in Berlin (with three years of data) and a
site in Claremont (with five years of data) had significant increasing
trends. Seven sites had no significant trends, although one site in
Berlin and one site In Rochester had a positive slope. The remaining
14 sites all had significant downward trends. This included both of the
Berlin sites that reported violations to the NAAOS. Figure 2 shows the
five—year trend line for the Sullivan Street site in Berlin.
Lead
There were no lead violations reported in 1982. The highest site —
a microscale site in Concord — reported values 30% of the NAAQS. The
lowest site in the State, located in Berlin, had a maximum quarterly
average of 6% of the standard.
CO
No violations to the 1—hour NAAOS were reported; however, Nashua
reported 32 violations, and Manchester reported six violations to the
8—hour NAAOS. The site In Manchester reported significantly lower CO
levels in 1981, with only one exceedence, as compared to 15 violations
reported in 1980 and six violations in 1982. The site In Nashua had
slightly lower values in 1982 as compared to 1981. Based on less than
five years worth of data, both the sites in Manchester and Nashua had
significant downward trends.
78
-------
22
Although only two sites — one in Manchester and one in Groveton —
reported enough data to meet EPA ’s minimum data capture requirements, no
violations to NAAOS were reported in 1982. The use of taller stacks and
a new bark boiler at a major SO 2 source have resulted in reduced SO 2
levels in Berlin. Levels were reduced from 14 violations of the NAAOS in
1980 to zero in 1981 and 1982. In 1982, the maximum daily SO 2 concentration
for Berlin was approximately 50% of the NAAOS. In Manchester, the SO 2
levels increased to 54% of the annual NAAOS from 48% of the standard in
1981. The site in Groveton reported the highest daily SO 2 concentrations
for 1982, which was approximately 85% of the daily standard. Two sites in
Berlin, Lancaster Street and Poplar Street, and one site in Groveton showed
significant downward trends. The SO 2 NAMS in Manchester, based on four
years worth of data, showed a significant increasing trend.
22
NO 2 data were not collected in 1981 or 1982.
9-3
Portsmouth reported three days over the NAAOS, and Keene and Manchester
reported one day over the standard. Neither Berlin nor Nashua reported any
days over the standard. In 1981, both Manchester and Portsmouth reported
two days over the standard. Figure 5 shows the number of days over the
standard for the Portsmouth site.

1982 RHODE ISLAND AMBIENT AIR OUALITY SUMMARY
TSP
No violations to primary or secondary National Ambient Air Ouality
Standards (NAAOS) were reported in 1982. An exceedence to the secondary
standard was reported in Providence, and the annual geometric mean for
that site was 75% of the NAAOS. The rural background site located at the
University of Rhode Island Alton Jones campus in Kent County, showed
levels 27% of the annual NAAOS and 4O of the daily secondary standard. In
1980 and 1981 TSP levels were generally higher in the State, with secondary
TSP violations reported In Providence in 1980. The Providence annual
geometric mean was 81% of the NAAOS in 1980 and 76% in 1981. Rural back-
ground values for 1980 and 1981 were also higher. These values were
36% of the annual standard and 57% of the daily secondary standard in 1980.
In 1981, background levels were 31% of the annual standard and 40% of the
daily standard in 1981. The five—year trend analysis was performed for
13 sites. Of these, 11 sites had a significant downward trend, and two had
no significant trend. Only the rural background site in Kent County had a
positive slope. Figure 2 shows the five—year trend line for a typical site
In Providence.
Lead
In 1982, the highest quarterly lead average was measured in Providence
at 54% of the NAAOS. The 1982 levels were slightly higher than 1981. In
all cases, 1980 levels were higher than those of 1981 or 1982. Rural back-
ground levels were 5% of the standard.
CO
No violations to the 1—hour N.&AOS were reported. The microscale site
in Providence reported one exceedence to the 8—hour NAAOS. In 1980, this
site reported nine 8—hour violations; and in 1981, four violations were
recorded at this site. At the neighborhood scale site, maximum 8—hour
concentrations increased to 71% of the standard from 59% of the standard
in 1981 and 65% in 1980. Figure 3 shows the five—year trend line for
Providence. This line shows a significant downward trend.

-------
22
No violations to NAAQS were reported in 1982 or 1981. The highest site
in Providence reported values of approximately 50% of the annual and daily
standards. The 1982 levels were very similar to the values measured in 1981
and 1980. Suburban background values were approximately one—third of the
annual and daily NAAOS both in 1982 and 1981. Figure 4 shows a significant
downward five—year trend line for a Providence site.
22
No site in the State reported enough data to enable calculation of a
valid annual average in either 1980, 1981, or 1982.
9-3
The Kent County site reported seven days over the NAAflS, while the site
In Providence reported one day over the standard. In 1981, there were nine
days that were over the standard in Providence and three days over the
standard in Kent County. For 1980, these same sites reported seven and
16 days over the standard. The maximum daily hour values were 0.158 ppm
in 1982, 0.210 ppm in 1981, and 0.222 ppm in 1980 at the Kent County site.

1982 VERMONT AMBIENT AIR OUALITY SUMMARY
TSP
No violations or exceedences to primary National Ambient Air Ouallty
Standards (NAAOS) were reported. Secondary violations were reported
in Barre, and an exceedence was reported in Brattleboro and Rutland.
Brattleboro has the highest annual geometric mean hich was 75% of the
NAAOS. A rural background site in Orange County reported levels approxi-
mately 30% of the annual standard. Maximum daily levels at this site
were approximately 40% of the secondary standard. Data from Burlington
show values approximately 55% of the NAAOS. There were no apparent
changes in TSP levels from those measured in 1980 or 1981.
A total of six sites were analyzed for the five—year trends. Of
these, four had no significant trends and two, Burlington and Bennington,
had a significant downward trend. Two sites, Brattleboro and Randolph,
had a positive slope. Figure 2 shows the five—year trend line for Barre.
Lead
Vermont is not required to and does not operate a monitoring network
for lead.
Co
Maximum levels at the Burlington middle scale site were 30% of the
1—hour standard and 42% of the 8—hour standard. These levels are approxi-
mately the same as those measured in 1980 and 1981. Figure 3 shows the
five—year trend for Burlington. This trend line shows a significant
downward trend.
!22
The only site with a complete year’s worth of data is Burlington. Data
from this site is approximately 20% of the annual standard and 30% of the
daily standard. Reported daily values from Rutland are slightly higher
than those at Burlington. The 1982 annual average at the Burlington site
was less than the 1980 average, approximately 30% of the NAAOS, and
82
-------
slightly higher than the 1981 average which was 22% of the standard.
Figure 4 shows the five—year trend line for Burlington. This line shows
a significant downward trend.
Vermont is not required to and does not conduct monitoring for NO 2 .
-9-3
There were no days reported to be over the NAAQS. The highest day for
the State was recorded at the Brat tleboro site, and was 85% of the standard.
The highest day in Burlington was 83% of the standard. Similar levels
were reported in 1980 and 1981.
