EPA Reference or Equivalent Method Monitors EPA Reference or Equivalent Method Monitors are required to Determine are required to Determine Compliance/AttainmentCompliance/Attainment
Dust ID Model Requires Hourly DataDust ID Model Requires Hourly Data EPA-approved Monitors providing Hourly PM10 EPA-approved Monitors providing Hourly PM10 Concentrations are the TEOM and the BAMConcentrations are the TEOM and the BAM
Light-scattering and Beta Attenuation Light-scattering and Beta Attenuation monitors have had numerous precision, monitors have had numerous precision, accuracy, calibration, and maintenance issuesaccuracy, calibration, and maintenance issues
