Mason Street, 2nd Floor Fort Collins, CO 80522 1901 Sharp Point Drive Suite E Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 970-484-7941 FAX: 970484-3423 Re: Proposal for Air Monitoring Services for Background Evaluation of Air Quality in Northeast Fort Collins Dear Gerry: Air Resource Specialists, Inc (ARS) is pleased to provide this proposal to support efforts of the City of Fort Collins to characterize air quality data in northeast Fort Collins in and around existing oil and gas operations. For over 30 years, ARS has provided dedicated ambient air quality, meteorology, and visibility monitoring and analysis support to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private industry, and we currently operate over 100 monitoring stations throughout the country. ARS has extensive experience and knowledge with various air quality monitoring technologies and methodologies, including data collection, storage, handling, verification, validation, and reporting of ambient air quality data. ARS is uniquely qualified to provide efficient and cost effective services for this short- term study. Installation of monitoring equipment can be expedited with minimal travel costs, as ARS headquarters are located in Fort Collins, in close proximity to the proposed monitoring sites. ARS also has experience collecting and reporting similar air quality parameters in and around oil and gas operations in Colorado for the Garfield County Department of Health and Environment, under a contract with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. Additionally, as a cost saving measure, ARS is in a position to offer all services proposed here using lease -based agreements, which does not necessitate a capital investment in monitoring equipment by the City of Fort Collins. The proposed effort to support this project is separated into the following tasks: Task 1: Develop an Air Monitoring Plan Task 2: Equipment Procurement, Installation, and Operation Task 3: Ambient Air Monitoring and Analysis Task 4: Data Analysis and Final Report Proposed work for these tasks is described in more detail below. Task 1: Develop and Air Monitoring Plan ARS will work with City staff to develop a monitoring plan for this work which will include: • Site locations and rationale for site selection for three (3) monitoring locations in and around northeast Fort Collins oil and gas operations, in addition to two (2) sites in downtown Fort Collins at locations to be determined. A map of preliminary proposed monitoring locations near oil and gas operations are presented in Figure I. Final site locations will be selected in consultation with City staff. • A description of proposed instrumentation and methodology, including quality assurance considerations. • A description of proposed data analysis techniques, including the identification of identification of key issues to be addressed by this short term monitoring study. Figure 1. Map Depicting Preliminary Proposed Monitoring Site Locations Near Oil and Gas Operations in Northeast Fort Collins. 2 Task 2: Equipment Procurement, Installation and Operation ARS proposes to install equipment to monitor continuous (hourly) values of hydrogen sulfide (1-I2S), meteorological parameters, including wind speed and wind direction, and VOC parameters for five (5) discreet 24-hour periods. Equipment will be installed at four (4) sites as described below: '['we (2) stations (Site #1 and Site #3 as depicted in Figure 1) equipped to continuously monitor meteorology (inducing wind speed and wind direction) and H,S, with collocated VOC sample configurations. • One (1) station equipped to continuously monitor HzS (Site 42 as depicted in Figure 1). Two (2) stations with VOC sample configuration (locations to be determined in downtown Fort Collins). Hydrogen sulfide will be will be monitored to address citizen concerns about these concentrations, and meteorological parameters will be monitored along with HzS to better understand the local conditions and transport of air pollutants. These parameters will be monitored using equipment provided by the City, as per a lease agreement with Denbury Resources, Inc. ARS previously procured and assembled these monitoring stations for Denbury, and currently houses equipment at ARS offices in Fort Collins. The equipment was designed to be rugged, reliable, and equipped with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) grade meteorological sensors. ARS will deploy and configure this equipment to collect continuous hourly HZS and meteorological measurements remotely. Equipment will run on solar power, and data will be remotely accessible via cellular telephone. Figure 2 presents a photograph of the one of the Denbury stations currently housed at ARS. Note that ARS will not be responsible for equipment security or safety considerations. t, Figure 2. Denbu y Hydrogen Sulfide and Meteorolgical Monitoring Station. ARS will also facilitate the collection and analysis of twenty (20) 24-hour integrated volatile organic compound (VOC) samples which will include five (5) events at each of four (4) sites, using SUMMA© canister samplers, and up to four (4) collocated and/or field Blank samples. Evacuated canister will be collocated with HzS and meteorological sampling at Site 41 and Site #3, as pictured in Figure 1. Canisters will be fitted with flow control devices, which will be triggered manually on -site by City staff for desired sample events. City staff will ship canisters and associated chain of custody documentation to the contracted laboratory for subsequent analysis, where a suite of VOC parameters will be analyzed to include: • BTEX compounds, which consist of benzene, toluene, ethyl -benzene and xylenes. These are parameters of interest because they are part of a subset of VOC compounds designated by the EPA as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). • Light alkanes, including ethane, propane, iso/n-butane and iso/n-pentane, which are primary components of natural gas and gasoline vapors. These compounds are not 4 considered HAPs, but in large concentrations can contribute to odor issues and have potential to contribute to ozone formation. • Methane (CHA which is not considered a HAP, but is associated with oil and gas development, and of interest because of it's potential as a greenhouse gas. ARS proposes to subcontract laboratory analysis of VOC compounds to the Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) laboratories. ARS has previous experience working with this laboratory, and ERG currently performs similar VOC analysis for data in and around oil and gas development in Garfield County, Colorado, and also for data across the country as part of the larger BPA Urban Air Toxics Monitoring Program (UATMP) and National Air Toxics Trends Station (NATTS) Networks. Task 3: Ambient Air Monitoring and Analysis ARS will manage all VOC media, data acquisition, and data management functions for the 90-day monitoring period, as noted below: • Prior to final site placement, ARS will obtain representative meteorological data from a nearby site and generate seasonal wind roses to advise final site location selection. For continuous parameters, ARS will remotely collect data via a cellular modem daily, and manually screen data for instrument performance issues each business day for the 90-day operational period. If any data inconsistences or suspected instrument issues are noted during data review, ARS will assess necessary corrective actions and notify City staff. Note that this proposal does not include contingencies for emergency repairs, and any remedial action requested will be proposed separately. • For VOC sampling and analysis, ARS will coordinate transfer of SUMMA© canisters between the monitoring sites and the contracted laboratory. ARS will contract with ERG laboratories to provide canisters and sample analysis. Note that canister sampling will be manually triggered for the five (5) sampling events at four (4) separate sites, and it is assumed that City staff will provide personnel for initial deployment of the evacuated canisters, and for retrieval and shipping of canisters after the sampling periods. Task 4: Data Analvsis and Final Report ARS will provide a brief written data summary report and associated digital data files summarizing methods and data for this study. Data analysis provided in the report will include: • Final validated data and concentrations for each measured pollutant, provided in both report tables and in separate digital files. Time series plots including meteorology, H,S, and VOCs. • Wind roses for the entire period and weighted wind roses for high and low HZS and VOC periods. Weighted wind rose plots are a useful tool in examining potential regional influences to parameters measured at the sites. 5 Note that, while the proposed work does not directly consider potential health impacts of monitored parameters, these data will provide a preliminary assessment for other investigators to make a health impact assessment. For this analysis, per direction by City staff, ARS can report concentrations using requested metrics that may be comparable to risk analysis thresholds (e.g., EPA defined risk -based screening thresholds for air toxics).

(ARS) to perform air monitoring services as outlined in this scope of work. Background The City of Fort Collins will be engaging in an air monitoring assessment project in the nearfuture. The purpose of this air monitoring is to collect background air quality data in northeast Fort Collins in and around existing oil and gas operations. The citizens of Fort Collins have expressed concern over air emissions from oil and gas in general and have made many inquiries regarding emissions from current operations with the City limits. City Council has also asked staff on several occasions to provide information on current air quality conditions and pollutants of concern in the area of existing oil and gas operations. In response to Council requests and citizen inquiries, staff in the Environmental Services Department is designing a background air quality assessment forthe northeast Fort Collins area. The air monitoring project is intended to provide Council and citizens with a better understanding of current air quality conditions in the vicinity of existing oil and gas operations and will: • Provide a limited scope of air quality data to be used to generally define background air quality conditions in NE Fort Collins, • Demonstrate to Council and citizens that staff is being responsive to questions regarding the current status of air quality in the neighborhoods surrounding existing oil and gas operations, • Provide data that is more robust than "snapshot' sampling with handheld instruments, by including meteorological monitoring, instrumentation that is capable of longer term or continuous monitoring, a monitoring network that can simultaneously measure in several locations, and professionally developed monitoring plan and data report that include quality assurance and quality control procedures, • Collect data on air pollutants typically associated with oil and gas development including hydrogen sulfide and some volatile organic compounds. Tasks 1. Develop on Air Monitoring Plan ARS will work with staff to develop an air monitoring plan that includes criteria for sampling and monitoring site location, methodologies for sampling and analyzing pollutants of concern, and methods for data analysis and reporting. City staff will provide an outline for the monitoring plan. 2. Equipment Procurement, Installation, and Operation ARS will procure, install, and operate the following air monitoring equipment: • Meteorological monitoring equipment co -located with the hydrogen sulfide monitoring equipment that includes at a minimum, wind speed and wind direction measurements • 20 Summa© canisters -6 liter (1 field blank, 1 trip blank, 8 field samples) • Flow controllers for 24-hour time integrated samples Under separate agreement, the City will lease three continuous hydrogen sulfide air monitoring stations from Denberry, Inc., which will be installed and operated by ARS. 3. Ambient Air Monitoring and Analysis ARS will conduct air monitoring and arrange for analysis of samples as follows: • Conduct continuous monitoring of hydrogen sulfide and meteorological parameters at three locations for a 90 day period Deployment of evacuated canisters for five events during the 90 day period; 2 canisters operating simultaneously for each event at a location upwind and downwind of existing oil and gas operations and 2 canisters located at sites within the city of Fort Collins. ARS will deploy field and trip blanks in accordance with standard quality control procedures. Analysis of SUMMA canister samples with a local laboratory if possible, and using the following methods: o Method TO-15 (or other method recommended by laboratory) for VOCs with a limited target list to include BTEX compounds (i.e. benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-Xylene, o-Xylene) as a cost savings measure o ASTM D1946 for methane and fixed gases (02, N, CO, and CO2) with a modified target list to include some light hydrocarbons (i.e. ethane, propane) • Obtain meteorological data from CSU, City of Fort Collins, or other relevant sources and generate seasonal wind roses to assist in final site location selection. 4. Data, Analysis, and Final Report ARS will provide all raw and validated data in electronic format to the City. ARS will also provide a written report summarizing the monitoring and sampling results. The report will include the following: • weighted wind roses for the entire monitoring period, and for the specific days when SUMMA canister samples were collected, and for other key events such as "spikes" in HzS observations or known relevant industrial activity in the area. • final validated data and concentrations for each pollutant in comparable units for each measured pollutant (i.e. ug/m3 or ppm), • comparison of results, in table format, to ambient air quality standards (if available) • comparison of results, in table format, to available thresholds from EPA (risk factors for acute and chronic exposures in the EPA IRIS database), Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, California Air Resources Board, and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
