OSTI ID:7024955

Four quarterly independent performance audits were conducted by Woodward-Clyde Consultants at the WyCoalGas, Inc. meteorology and air quality monitoring site located near Douglas, Wyoming. These audits were performed in accordance with Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) air monitoring quality assurance requirements as promulgated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the Federal Register (40 CFR 58, Appendix B). The results, along with a brief discussion of the procedures used to conduct the audits are discussed in the following sections. Section 2.0 outlines the audit procedures used and Section 3.0 contains the audit results. Performance audits were conducted for sulfur dioxide (SO/sub 2/), oxides of nitrogen, (NO/sub x/), ozone (O/sub 3/), and total suspended particulate matter (TSP). Each continuous air monitoring system, which included the analyzer and both the data acquisition system (DAS) and the back-up strip chart recorder, was challenged with a zero level and four up-scale audit test concentrations.
