TCEQ Air Monitor Network Plan 2021

As required by 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §58.10, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) posted the 2019 Annual Monitoring Network Plan (AMNP) for public inspection for 30 days prior to submittal to the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In fulfillment of 40 CFR §58.10, the TCEQ provided a detailed analysis of Appendix D network design requirements and how the network meets these requirements.

As outlined under 40 CFR §58.10, submittal of the AMNP is required to demonstrate the TCEQ compliance with federal air monitoring requirements under 40 CFR Part 58, and is limited to federally-funded monitors. The TCEQ also operates state-funded monitors and often locates these monitors to address local public health and welfare concerns; however, these monitors are outside the scope of the AMNP. Information and data from both federal and state-funded monitors are available to the public from the TCEQ Texas Air Monitoring Information System (TAMIS) database.
