Draft Statement of Work

STATEMENT OF WORK

I. OBJECTIVE

This contract is to provide ambient air sampling and analysis support for air toxics and ozone precursor programs. Air toxics ambient monitoring support is provided under the Urban Air Toxics Monitoring

Program (UATMP) and is available to state, local, and tribal agencies to include, but not limited to, National

Air Toxics Trends Station (NATTS) and Community-Scale Air Toxics Ambient Monitoring (CSATAM) program participants. The ozone precursor monitoring support is available to Photochemical Atmospheric

Measurement Station (PAMS) and Non-Methane Organic Compound (NMOC) program participants.

II. BACKGROUND

Ozone Precursors

The Non-Methane Organic Compound (NMOC) Program was initiated in 1984 to provide data for use in development of control strategies for ozone. Interested state and local agencies sampled for total

NMOC, selected toxic compounds (primarily chlorinated hydrocarbons), speciated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbonyl compounds. This program involved the weekday collection of samples during the 0600-0900 time period between June 01 and September 30 which were shipped to a central laboratory for analysis. In 1991, some agencies participating in the NMOC program requested speciation analysis of the samples collected. Consequently, the analysis of some 78 individual hydrocarbon species in the C2-C12 carbon number range was established and referred to on the

Speciated Non-Methane Organic Compound (SNMOC) analysis.

In response to the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments enhanced ozone monitoring requirements were promulgated requiring states to establish Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS) as part of their State Implementation Plan (SIP) in ozone non-attainment areas. The PAMS program was initiated in 1993 to provide state and local agencies with needed support in the implementation and operation of PAMS monitors. This support includes VOC and carbonyl analysis, automated and manual gas chromatography operation, quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program development, standards preparation and certification, data reduction and validation, and on site technical assistance.

Air Toxics

Similar to the NMOC program, the UATMP was initiated in 1988 as an analytical/technical support program focused on ascertaining ambient air levels of organic toxic species. The UATMP initially involved about 20 state and local agencies and supported the collection and analysis of a 24-hour canister sample every 12 days for a 12 month period. The program has since expanded to provide for the measurement of additional Clean Air Act Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) such as carbonyls, PM10 metals, and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and the standard sample collection frequency has increased to 1 in 6 days. The driving force for these program changes is the Government

Performance and Results Act (GPRA). As required under the GPRA, the EPA has developed a Strategic

Plan that includes a goal for the Clean Air. An objective under this goal was to improve air quality and reduce air toxic emissions to levels 75 percent below 1993 levels by 2010 in order to reduce the risk to

Americans of cancer and other serious adverse health affects caused by airborne toxics. While there originally was no national network or systematic program for air toxics ambient monitoring, such a program now exists and is comprised of two separate and distinct components for which UATMP support is available and often used; these programs are described below.

The National Air Toxics Trends Station (NATTS) Network was established during 2003 and 2004 and is intended for long term operation for the principle purpose of discerning national trends in air toxics ambient concentrations. The original NATTS Network consisted of 23 sites, 16 urban and 7 rural. Two urban sites were added in 2007 and three more were added in 2008 bringing the total number of NATTS to 28. Over 100 HAPs are measured on a 1 in 6 day sampling schedule and include VOCs, carbonyls, PM10 metals, hexavalent chromium and PAHs.

The Community-Scale Air Toxics Ambient Monitoring (CSATAM) Program was initiated in 2004 and is intended to support state, local, and tribal agencies in conducting discreet, investigative projects of approximately two-year durations. Projects are selected from periodic (1 to 2 year cycle) grant competitions; the intended objectives include identifying and profiling air toxics sources, developing and assessing emerging measurement methods, characterizing the degree and extent of local air toxics problems, and tracking progress of air toxics reduction activities.

The contractor shall be responsible for providing support for the programs described above. Note that the

NMOC program is applicable to those moderate and marginal non-attainment areas for ozone which do not require PAMS. The NMOC program is limited to the summer ozone season while the UATMP and PAMS programs are year-round.

III. SPECIFIC TASKS

EPA will establish and fund a shipping account which will be utilized by the contractor for sample shipments to and from the field.

Some tasks are required prior to and during the sampling and analysis program and are not dependent on the specific program type and/or options selected. These are identified below.

A. Before any sampling program begins the contractor shall:

1. Develop a Quality Management Plan (QMP) in accordance with EPA QA/R-2, EPA

Requirements for Quality Management Plans, for approval by the Project Officer. The QMP describes an organization’s Quality System and documents how the organization will plan, implement, and assess QA effectiveness and QC Operations. The QMP discusses how and by whom activities will be carried out and includes management and organization, quality system description, personnel qualifications and training, procurement of items and services, documentation and records, computer hardware and software, planning, implementation of work processes, assessments and responses, and quality improvement. In 2013 the EPA

Quality Staff proposed a new quality standard; if approved, QMP requirements and/or the elements that need to be addressed in QMPs may change. If this is the case, the contractor will have one year from the approval of this contract or the approval date of the Quality

Standard, whichever is longer, to revise the QMP.

2. Develop a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) in accordance with EPA QA/G-5, EPA

Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans, for approval by the Project Officer. The

QAPP demonstrates that the project=s technical and quality objectives are identified and agreed upon; the intended measurements and data acquisition methods are appropriate for achieving project objectives; the assessment procedures are sufficient for confirming that data of the type and quality needed and expected are obtained; and any limitation on the use of the data can be identified and documented. In 2013 the EPA Quality Staff proposed a new quality standard; if approved, QAPP requirements and/or the elements that need to be addressed in QAPPs may change. If this is the case, the contractor will have one year from the approval of this contract or the approval date of the Quality Standard, whichever is longer, to revise the QAPP. The QAPP will be posted on the EPA’s Ambient Air Monitoring

Technical Information Centers Website (AMTIC).

3. Ensure sufficient sampling systems are available (contractor supplied; there will be no government furnished equipment associated with this contract) to accommodate all line item orders under Section 3.B of this Statement of Work (SOW); perform necessary maintenance of all sampling systems to include refurbishment, cleaning, flow rate calibration and certification / integrity verification, as applicable.

4. Assemble and put into operation the canister clean-up system; clean all sample canisters and check them for leaks and/or contamination.

5. Assemble and put into operation all analytical systems necessary to perform analyses specified in Section IV of this SOW.

6. Assemble and put in operation a system to collect Hexavalent Chromium samples.

NOTE: Any field related activities should address the policies described in the Field Operation

Group (FOG) guidelines. Copies of the FOG will be distributed to the contractor and the guideline will be addressed in the appropriate QAPPs and SOPs.

B. Upon completion of the pre-sampling tasks identified in Section III.A, the contractor shall:

1. Deploy the samplers to the monitoring sites, attach them to the existing manifold and instruct state and local agency personnel in proper operation and maintenance of the equipment.

State and local agency personnel will perform the actual sampling during the course of the program. At least two hours of instruction are estimated to be needed at each site. The contractor shall, however, be prepared to provide technical assistance to the sites to support the monitoring effort as needed and perform/arrange for sample collection activities, if required, covering canister, cartridge, filter, and/or polyurethane foam (PUF).

2. Analyze samples for the pollutants identified in Section IV. The EPA NATTS Technical

Assistant Document (TAD) http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/airtox.html identifies target

Method Detection Limits (MDLs) for many of the pollutants listed in this SOW; the contractor must meet or exceed all applicable target MDLs.

3. Send preliminary monthly data summaries for all analytical results to the affected / “client” state, local, and tribal agencies, hereafter referred to as "participants" (each participant receives data for their samples only), the Project Officer, and the Delivery Order Project

Officer. The data summaries will also include all pertinent QA/QC data relative to its acceptance criteria.

4. Make any adjustments to data, as documented in the QAPP, required by an analysis of the

QA and calibration data developed during the measurement phase of the program. Send a validated data set to each participant, the Project Officer, and the Delivery Order Project

Officer within six weeks after the last sample collection.

5. Submit all validated data to the U.S. EPA Air Quality System (AQS) in the appropriate format every quarter, in accordance with the Reports of Work.

6. Send results of PE samples (arising from line items C.1-X through C.5-X of this SOW) to the NATTS EPA QA Manager.

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/amtic/airtox.html

7. Maintain a supply of spare parts for all analytical and contractor-supplied sampling equipment; be prepared to send repair parts for sampling systems (or a complete replacement, if a sampler fails in the field). Repair parts or replacement parts shall be shipped to the field within one day after a failure is reported, or as soon as logistics and parts acquisition will allow, in order to maximize data capture.

8. Clean and evacuate canisters as approved in the QAPP after the contents have been analyzed and return them to sampling sites. The canister clean-up system shall evacuate at least eight canisters during each cycle. At least one canister from each cycle shall be checked for contamination. If any canister contains more than 10 ppbC total NMOC, the contractor shall re-clean all canisters in that cycle, then check two more canisters for contamination until acceptable levels of NMOC are achieved.

9. Develop a quarterly quality assurance report that includes blanks, duplicates, spikes, calibration curves, percent recoveries, and method detection limits for each type of analysis listed below in Section IV Part A.

10. Prepare an Annual UATMP Report which includes programmatic and monitoring site-specific descriptive content as in EPA-454/R-12-006a -006a, “2010 Urban Air Toxics

Monitoring Program (UATMP),” November 2012.

11. Provision of Briefings. The Contractor may be required to present, at a site chosen by the

Project Officer, briefing(s) and review(s) of all work performed under this contract.
