NEW JERSEY AMBIENT AIR MONITORING NETWORK PLAN 2020 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
New Jersey’s Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan for 2020 provides a complete description of the air
monitoring network operated by the Bureau of Air Monitoring (BAM), and summarizes any changes
made in the previous year and those planned for the next year. The New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is required to submit a Network Plan to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) each year. The primary purpose of the air monitoring program is to
demonstrate compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for specific
pollutants. It also provides real-time air quality data to the general public through a website, and
measures concentrations of non-criteria pollutants for the protection of public health.
Here is a list of monitoring network changes that occurred from March 2019 to March 31, 2020:
1. Installed a PM
10
monitor at Camden Spruce Street to replace the one located at the Camden RRF
monitoring site. Camden RRF will be shut down as soon as EPA’s approval letter is received.
2. Shut down the Fort Lee Library site and removed the filter-based PM
2.5
monitor. This was
approved by USEPA through the 2019 Network Plan. The site was shut down because the
monitor was located on a roof without a safety rail, and the PM
2.5
concentrations were
consistently lower than those at the nearby Fort Lee Near Road monitoring station.
3. At Toms River, installed a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) continuous monitor for PM
2.5
, with
the intention of discontinuing the filter-based PM
2.5
sampling on December 31, 2020.
4. Beginning January 2020, Rutgers meteorology data, from instruments maintained by the
University, is being sent to New Jersey’s Envista data collection system.
These changes are summarized in Table 1.

Proposed Changes
The only change to the New Jersey air monitoring network proposed for the coming year is to replace
the filter-based PM
2.5
monitor at the Trenton Library site with a continuous PM
2.5
monitor. The filter-
based monitor runs every day.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
NJDEP is required by 40 CFR Part 58 to submit an Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan to the USEPA
Region 2 Regional Administrator by July 1 of each year, and to have the Plan available for public
inspection for at least 30 days prior to its submittal to the USEPA. The plan describes New Jersey’s State
and Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS), National Core (NCore) stations, Chemical Speciation Network
(CSN) stations, Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program (UATMP) stations, Special Purpose Monitor (SPM)
stations, and Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS).
This 2020 Network Plan contains information required by the regulations; descriptions of the air
monitoring sites; large- and small-scale maps of the monitoring station locations; a summary of the
changes to the Air Monitoring Network that NJDEP expects to implement during the year; comments
received following the 30-day public comment period; and NJDEP’s responses to the comments. A draft
of this plan was available for public comment from May 15 to June 15, 2020. We received one
comment. The finalized version of this document is available for download from the Bureau of Air
Monitoring website, https://nj.gov/dep/airmon, or as a hard copy by request from
THE NEW JERSEY AIR MONITORING NETWORK
NJDEP currently operates 30 air monitoring stations throughout the state. Table 2 lists all the
monitoring sites, along with the pollutants, pollutant categories, or meteorological parameters that are
measured at each site. Figure 1 shows the locations of the monitoring stations across New Jersey.
Data used for comparison to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) must be measured by
USEPA-approved real-time analyzers or USEPA-approved manual samplers. The real-time data is also
used to generate a rating of current air quality called the Air Quality Index (AQI), which is updated hourly
on the Bureau of Air Monitoring webpage.
Real-time sampling instruments collect and analyze data continuously, and transmit the data to a
centralized computer system once every minute. Several parameters, including carbon monoxide (CO),
nitrogen dioxide (NO
2
), ozone (O
3
), sulfur dioxide (SO
2
), fine particulate matter (PM
2.5
), and
meteorological data are measured this way.
NJDEP also uses USEPA-approved manual particulate samplers for comparison to the PM NAAQS.
Separately, three types of airborne particles can be collected on a filter over a 24-hour period: fine
particulate (particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or “PM
2.5
”); inhalable particulate
(particles smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter, or “PM
10
”); and PM
coarse
(particles between 2.5
micrometers in diameter and 10 micrometers in diameter). At the end of the 24-hour collection period,
the samples are manually retrieved and sent to NJDEP’s laboratory for gravimetric analysis (weighing).
NEW JERSEY AMBIENT AIR MONITORING NETWORK PLAN 2020 3
NJDEP monitors other pollutants, some of which are grouped together into categories by their method
of sampling or analysis. These categories are listed in the headings of Table 2. “Toxics” monitoring is
part of the USEPA’s Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program (UATMP), in which certain volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and carbonyls are analyzed using whole air samples or adsorbent media (see
Appendices A and B). Pollutants in the “PM
2.5
Speciation” category include trace elements, heavy
metals, and carbon compounds (see Appendix C); they are analyzed using PM
2.5
particles, under the
USEPA Chemical Speciation Network (CSN) program. The site at Rutgers University that monitors for
ozone precursors (pollutants that promote ozone formation in the atmosphere) is part of the national
Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Station (PAMS) program. Ozone precursors (see Appendix D) are
often referred to as PAMS pollutants. The PM
2.5
speciation, VOC, and carbonyl samples are collected by
NJDEP and sent to USEPA-approved contract laboratories for analysis. Five urban monitoring stations
measure near-real-time benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (with a “BTEX” analyzer), and
black carbon (with an aethalometer). In addition, NJDEP also measures acid deposition, mercury, and
visibility (using a nephelometer) at a number of sites.

PAMS sampling period is June 1 to August 31. EPA OAQPS Pandora spectrometer is operating as part of the ozone
Enhanced Monitoring Plan. Upper air and surface meteorological measurements collected at this site by Rutgers
University are integrated into DEP's database. See Appendix D for more information on ozone precursors, also
known as PAMS. See Appendices A, B and C for more information on PM
2.5
