[ Enable Editing ] [ View QC Criteria ] *Required Site Details The AQCSV file format now allows agencies to send more than one instance of a parameter type per monitoring site by allowing multiple parameter occurrence codes (POCs) and additional parameter codes (e.g., 88501, 88502, etc.). The Edit Sites page for each monitoring site has a new feature called Principal Parameter. For each parameter type at a monitoring site, a Principal Parameter must be selected for use in legacy products, such as maps and text files. The Principal Parameters are denoted by the star icons (see example at left). In this example, both 03 and PM10 are reported under two POCs; therefore, a Principal Parameter has been assigned for each parameter type. In addition, parameters that are approved for public reporting have Public Parameter icons that look like people. i'i ii'- -. ii Jathesid Spokane NGTON ulll.Uld A Tools NL'VA DA Carson City Paiams I IM HW1 Parameter Q Legend © PM2.5 - Pri nci pal • No AO S/1 Hr • -5.0 to < 10.0 Q 10.0 to < 20.0 O 20.0to <30.0 O 30.0 to < 50.0 O 50.0to <70.0 Q 70.0 to <80.0 • 90.0 to < 120.0 9 > 120.0 HMS ¦ Smoke plume Site Info ~ © A Name: Portland - SE Lafayette AOS Code: 410510060 Agency: Oregon Dept. of Environmental Quality State: Oregon County: Portland - SE Lafayette CBSA: Portland-Vancouver- Beaverton.
