Annual SO2 Report Submission
Rpt 2015 Annual So2 Report_Final 1
1. Introduction
Bestech was retained by Vale and Glencore to operate and maintain eighteen (18) SO2 monitoring stations in the Sudbury area.
AECOM Canada Ltd. (AECOM) was retained by Bestech to perform the data analysis and reporting on their behalf. Bestech and
AECOM conducted this work from January to December 2015. This annual report is a component of the reporting requirements
that Vale and Glencore must provide to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC).
This report has been prepared following the guidance of the report issued by the MOECC Operations Manual for Air Quality
Monitoring in Ontario (MOECC, March 2008). AECOM is responsible for reporting monitoring data while Bestech is responsible for
calibration and maintenance of the monitoring equipment.
This annual report summarizes the measured ambient SO2 concentrations at the eighteen (18) monitoring stations and the
meteorological conditions from the two (2) meteorological stations (STN77025 and Falconbridge MET), located in Sudbury and
Falconbridge, Ontario.
1.1 General Overview
There are currently eighteen (18) SO2 monitoring stations and two (2) meteorological stations situated in Sudbury and its
surrounding area. Prior to April 2004, eleven (11) of these monitoring stations and one (1) meteorological station (STN77025)
were owned and operated by the MOECC. Since then, the ownership and responsibility for maintenance, calibration and data
reporting have been transferred jointly to Vale and Glencore and the following changes have occurred:
In 2007, two (2) new stations were added as the 12th
and 13th
stations (STN77230 and STN77231).
In May 2008, four (4) stations (STN77600, STN77601, STN77602 and STN77603) and one (1) MET station (Falconbridge
MET) were included in the reporting for the Sudbury SO2 Monitoring Network. They had been previously reported by
Glencore.
In December 2009, STN77201 (Mikkola) was relocated from 150 Patricia Street to 1 Mikkola Road and renamed
STN77227 (Kinsmen).
In November 2013, STN77330 (Union) was added to the monitoring network as the 18th station. Bestech and AECOM
were retained by Vale and Glencore to administer this monitoring network on their behalf.
Bestech has calibrated all of the eighteen (18) stations in accordance with the MOECC Operations Manual for Air Quality
Monitoring in Ontario (March 2008). Bestech and AECOM have carried out daily data checks, data editing and monthly data
checks.
A map showing the location of the monitoring stations, the MET stations and the Vale and Glencore sites is presented in Appendix
C.

The large number of invalid hours for Kelly Lake station was due to an intermittent utilities power service.
The fluctuations in supply voltage (as high as 150 VAC) caused the instrument to lock up and stop collecting valid SO2 readings. These instrument lock ups occurred at various times and caused several
nightly auto calibration failures which resulted in invalidating data to previous valid auto calibration values
(sometimes over 24 hrs).
