Chad Schlichtemeier HSE Rockies Subject: Oil and Gas Monitoring Plan Approval For: Oil and Gas Parent Well Code: 11230512399906 Oil and Gas Company Name: Kerr-McGee Oil and Gas Onshore, LP Oil and Gas Site Name: Kerr-McGee: Clover Kerr-McGee Oil and Gas Onshore, LP Letter Sent by Email: Chad Schlichtemeier@oxy.com Dear Mr. Schlichtemeier, The Air Pollution Control Division has received the oil and gas site ambient air monitoring plan for: Parent Well Code: 11230512399906 Date of This Letter: 1/10/2024 The Air Pollution Control Division has received the Regulation 7 oil and gas air monitoring plan for the Kerr-McGee Clover facility. We have the following comments. 1. A local government comment period was held for Weld County, the Town of Firestone, and the ECMC. It ran from December 18, 2023 – January 8, 2024. None of these entities submitted comments or concerns. 2. The API codes for these wells are not yet available. A temporary Parent Well Code of 11230512399906 has been assigned. A permanent code will be assigned in the future. 3. The plan notes that there will be sound walls. It would be very helpful if the monthly monitoring reports could identify whether the walls are in-place, or not, during that reporting period. 4. The plan is now approved.

PURPOSE This document establishes guidelines for conducting air monitoring around pre-production and production facility activities to protect public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources in accordance with CDPHE Regulation 7. The document will be reviewed periodically and revised if necessary to adapt to changes in technology, operational and monitoring data, and regulatory guidelines. The air monitoring program will be operated on behalf of Kerr McGee Onshore Oil & Gas LP (“Kerr-McGee”) by Montrose Air Quality Services, LLC. 2. CDPHE REGULATION 7 This document follows the requirements set forth in CDPHE Regulation 7 VI.C. For each section, the applicable regulation reference is included in parenthesis as applicable. 3. APPLICABILITY This document provides the overall monitoring plan guidelines for air monitoring at pre- production operations and production facilities. Specific guidelines, as outlined in this document, for the monitoring location are addressed in a document titled “Air Monitoring Location Details.” The Monitoring Plan for each location includes the Kerr-McGee HSE Air Monitoring Program and the Air Monitoring Location Details. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.) 4. MONITORING PLAN SUBMITTAL The Monitoring Plan will be submitted to CDPHE and Local government with jurisdiction over the location of the operations and any other local government unit, where applicable, within 2,000 feet of the proposed operations at least sixty (60) days prior to beginning air quality monitoring. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.) Air Monitoring Location Details will include whether the local government with jurisdiction over the location of the operations has air quality monitoring requirements applicable to pre-production and/or early production operations, a description of those requirements, and a local government contact for air quality monitoring purposes. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(iv)) 5. BULK SEPARATOR PRODUCTION FACILITY CDPHE Regulation 7 requires air monitoring at production facilities during early production. The bulk separator production facilities are designed to minimize or eliminate air emissions. Monitoring data collected during early production will be used to further support the design. Below are the design aspects of facilities focusing on minimizing or eliminating air emissions. Design o No condensate tanks Condensate flows from the separator to a pressurize bulk separator into a pipeline. Condensate tanks are the largest source of potential volatile organic compound (VOC) and benzene emissions. This source is eliminated in the bulk separator facility design HSE Air Monitoring Program January 2021 Page 4 o Instrument air All pneumatic controllers at bulk separator production facilities are operated on instrument air. Natural gas-driven pneumatic controllers can be significant source of VOC emissions, which includes benzene due to the number of actuations and potential malfunctions Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) o Operating parameters on equipment at the bulk separator facilities are monitored continuously through Kerr McGee’s Integrated Operations Center (IOC). Operating ranges or status are set for equipment to ensure safe operations and also minimizes or eliminate potential air emissions. The IOC is staffed 24 hours a day/7 days a week and can automatically send out notifications alerting an Operator of a trending parameter or initiate engineering controls, which may include shutting in a facility. Below are some of the parameters that are monitored continuously, and the engineering controls. Figure 3 in Section 18 of this document shows a typical Bulk Separator Facility layout and location of the equipment. Equipment Parameter Description Engineering Controls Tanks - Temp and permanent Water Tanks, Maintenance Tank Pressure Monitor tank pressures to prevent over pressurizations causing venting High Pressure - Automation will shut-in facility Liquid Level Monitor liquid level on tanks to prevent spills and venting High Level - Automation will shut-in facility Bulk Separator Pressure Monitor vessel pressure to prevent over pressurization causing venting High Pressure - Automation will shut-in facility Separator Temperature Monitor high/low temperature for safe operations and prevent excess emissions High Temperature - Automation will shut-in separator and well Pressure Monitor vessel pressure to prevent over pressurization causing venting High Pressure - Automation will shut-in separator and well Burner Monitor pilot status to prevent raw gas from being vented Loss of pilot - Automation shuts off pilot valve and main valve. Automation will shut-in well if separator reaches high pressure or low temperature Emission Control Device (ECD) Knock-out Pot Liquid Level Monitor liquid level to prevent liquids from carrying over to the ECD potentially causing smoke High liquid level - Automation will shut-in facility Pilot Light Status Monitor pilot light to prevent venting of unburned hydrocarbons Loss of pilot - Automation will shut-in facility Pneumatic Controllers Air Compressor Status All pneumatic controllers are operated on instrument air. Monitor status of the electric air compressor for safe operation. Air Compressor not operating - Automation will shut-in facility Wellhead Pressure Monitor pressures for safe operation and preventing excess emissions High/Low Pressure - Automation will shut-in well 6.

HSE Air Monitoring Program January 2021 Page 5 6.2 Pre-Production and Production Facility Monitoring Drilling - Air monitoring conducted during drilling through the hydrocarbon bearing zones (i.e. Production rig drilling) (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.a.) Completions – Air monitoring conducted during hydraulic fracturing or refracturing, drill-out, and flowback of an oil and/or natural gas well. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.a.) Production Facility - Air monitoring conducted for at least six (6) months after the last well on the pad is turned over to production (TOTP). (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.a.) The Air Monitoring Location Details includes: o The owner or operator name and the contact information of the owner or operator representative for monitoring purposes (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(i)) o The planned schedule for drilling and completions operation at the monitoring locations. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(ii)) o The operations to be monitored including the API number of the well(s), location of the operations including latitude and longitude coordinates, and any associated facility or equipment AIRS number(s). (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(iii)) 7. MONITORING OBJECTIVES The purpose of the air monitoring around pre-production and production facility activities is to protect public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources. Kerr Mc-Gee has established Investigation Levels for the VOC analyzers and analytical results with an associated investigation response. See Sections 14 and 15 for more details on Investigation Levels and Investigation Level Response. One component of an Investigation Level Response is an on-site investigation into the cause of the elevated reading. If the source is identified further analysis will be conducted into the cause, which could lead to the reduction in air emissions. Gas streams at pre-production operations and production facilities typically contain methane, VOCs, and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes). Any emissions reduction would potentially reduce all listed pollutants. Kerr Mc-Gee’s monitoring objectives covers all three (3) objectives listed below. The monitoring program does not directly monitor methane, but methane is part of the gas stream that is being monitored and, thus, indirectly monitored. Any evaluation for VOCs and BTEX to reduce emissions will in most cases have a corresponding reduction in methane emissions. In addition, Kerr-McGee will review the monitoring program periodically and revise if necessary to adapt to changes in technology and operational and monitoring data. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(v)) o Detect, evaluate, and reduce as necessary hazardous air pollutant emissions. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(v)(A)) o Detect, evaluate, and reduce as necessary ozone precursor emissions. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(v)(B)) o Detect, evaluate, and reduce as necessary methane emissions. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(v)(C)) The continuous monitoring equipment employed in this program uses photoionization detector (PID) technology. A PID sensor contains a lamp that produces photons HSE Air Monitoring Program January 2021 Page 6 which carry enough energy to break molecules into ions. The PID will only respond to molecules that have an ionization energy at or below the energy of the lamp, the PID used in this program contains a 10.6 electron-volt (eV) lamp. Any VOC that has an ionization energy less than 10.6 eV will be ionized as it passes across the lamp. The produced ions then generate an electrical current that is measured as the output of the detector. While methane has an ionization energy above 10.6 eV, hazardous air pollutants and ozone precursors have an ionization energy below 10.6 eV allowing for detection of elevated emissions. Carbon sorbent tubes and SUMMA® canisters will be used to quantify BTEX emissions. Monitoring equipment will be sited as described in Section 10 and actual locations monitoring location will be included in the site plan as part of the Air Monitoring Location Details. Investigation Levels and Response as described in Sections 14 and 15 are established to protect public health and welfare and to evaluate operations and reduce VOC, BTEX and methane emissions as deemed appropriate. The monitoring program is setup to meet all the objectives in section. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(xi)) 8. POLLUTANTS MONITORED Air pollutants monitored at pre-production and production facility operations will include VOCs (continuous analyzers), benzene (carbon sorbent tubes) and BTEX (24- hr SUMMA® Canisters). (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(vi)) 9. MONITORING EQUIPMENT Below are the monitoring equipment that will be used at pre-production and production facility operations. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(vii)) 9.1 Continuous VOC Analyzer SENSIT SPOD Ion Science Photo Ionization Detector (PID) HSE Air Monitoring Program January 2021 Page 7 Lunar Output Canary-S Photo Ionization Detector (PID) Data Collection o 15-minute block averages based on 1 minute readings Data Acquisition o Dashboard Airsense is a web-based system used to acquire, manage, and display real-time air quality data. Site personnel can access all data via a password-protected website for viewing recent data, setting up alerts, conducting analyses, downloading data, building automated reports, and maintaining complete oversight of the network. Real-time display of monitoring data o 1-minute readings and selected averaging periods (e.g. Investigation Levels) Notifications o E-mails sent when a monitor reading exceeds an Investigation Levels set in Section 14 Equipment selection description (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(vii)) o The PID technology that will be used for continuous monitoring in this program is a tried-and-true VOC monitoring technology that is approved for use in Leak Detection and Repair programs as described in EPA Method 21 Section 6.1 and as a detector for gas chromatography as described in EPA Method 18 Section 2.0. The PIDs ability to respond to hazardous air pollutants and ozone precursors at low concentrations, consume little power, provide data continuously, and scale across a large network are the reasons why the technology was chosen for this program. The specific instrument models that will be used are the Sensit SPOD and Lunar Outpost Canary-S, though other models may be used if these vendors cannot provide instruments in a timely manner, specifics about these monitors can be found in the attached Quality Assurance Project Plan. The only data correction applied to these units is a linear regression between the sensors raw voltage output and known concentration of calibration gas, as described in the Quality Assurance Project Plan. The operating range for the SPOD and Canary-S unit is 0-40 ppm. HSE Air Monitoring Program January 2021 Page 8 Manufacturer’s Specification Sheets - SENSIT SPOD PID and Lunar Outpost Canary- S PID, See Section 19 Quality Assurance Project Plan – SENSIT SPOD PID and Lunar Outpost Canary-S PID, See Section 19 o The standard operating procedures that will be employed, to include at minimum (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(x)): The continuous monitors used in this program sample every second, and provide 1-minute averaged data to the data platform. The minimum detection limit and precision is calculated as three times the standard deviation, providing a confidence level of 99.7%, of 7 consecutive 1-minute averages with a 1 ppm isobutylene gas. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(x)A) The Investigations and Response Levels for each pollutant monitored and/or sampled and the response procedures or actions that will be taken if elevated levels are observed can be found in Sections 14 and 15. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(x)B) Quality Assurance Project Plan includes: o The precision and bias are determined during each monthly calibration, and data quality indicators. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(x)C) o Quality control and quality assurance procedures, including calibration intervals and frequency, which will be used to ensure proper operations of the monitoring equipment. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(x)D) PIDs are known to drift with ambient temperature and humidity variation. The PIDs used in this program mitigate the humidity issue by having a hydrophobic filter installed between the lamp and the ambient air. This deters water molecules from entering the ion producing chamber and absorbing radiation. The PIDs are also heated slightly above ambient temperature to improve stability of the detector. The hydrophobic filters are also known to deteriorate over approximately 6-8 weeks of field use, as part of the Quality Assurance Project Plan these filters are replaced during monthly calibrations. If this filter is not replaced, not only will the humidity interference not be mitigated but dust and dirt can enter the ionization chamber dampening the total VOC readings.

Both monitors collect wind data via ultrasonic anemometers. The anemometers are installed onsite with the proper side of the anemometer facing North to provide valid HSE Air Monitoring Program January 2021 Page 11 wind direction data. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(viii)) One meteorological station is co-located and directly tied into a continuous total VOC monitor onsite. The total VOC monitor that is furthest away from any structures that have the potential to interfere with the wind data, and therefore provides the data most representative of site conditions, is chosen to co-locate the meteorological station with. The data from the meteorological station is provided at the same time resolution as the total VOC data and is included in the monitors payload. (Reg. 7 VI.C.1.b.(x)F) Standard Operating Procedures for the meteorological station can be found in Section 19 10.

HEALTH GUIDANCE VALUES Health Guidance Values (HGVs): The health-based guidelines are based on Exposures and Health Risks from Volatile Organic Compounds in Communities Located near Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities in Colorado published by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) on July 16, 2018, in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The CDPHE study identified volatile organic compounds VOCs associated with oil and gas operations through review of previous studies conducted in the state of Colorado. The HGV for benzene is much lower than other analytes common to the oil and gas industry. Previous air sampling at oil and gas facilities show benzene is the main driver of potential health risk. Focus of the air sampling will be benzene but will include ethylbenzene, Toluene and xylene analysis for some samples. Below are the acute and chronic HGVs for each analyte. Acute exposure: An acute health exposure is a short-term exposure to a substance that results in biological or physical harm to the person exposed. For example, the 9 ppb acute guideline for benzene is the estimate of the daily human exposure without appreciable risk of adverse, non-cancer health effects over 1 to 14 days of exposure. For comparison to the acute guideline for SUMMA® canisters, 24-hour samples will be taken per recommendation from a Certified Industrial Hygienist. Letter from Kahuna Ventures included in Section 19. Chronic exposure: A chronic health exposure is a repeated or continuous exposure over a much longer period of time to a substance that results in biological or physical harm to a person exposed. In their study, the CDPHE defined a chronic exposure as a scenario in which a person breathes the outdoor air continuously (24 hours per day, 365 days per year) for a lifetime (average of 70 years) and the measured concentrations of the compounds in the air remain constant over the entire lifetime. Production facilities will be in operation beyond one (1) year. Therefore, the sampling results are compared to the acute and chronic HGVs. The evaluation against the chronic HGVs will be based on the mean of all samples taken. Pre-production activities (Drilling and Completions operations) will be short in duration (i.e. less than 6 months), the results from each 24-hour SUMMA® canister sample and Analyte Acute Guideline Values Chronic Guideline Values (ppb) (ppb) Benzene 9 9 and 3 Toluene 2,000 1,327 Ethylbenzene 5,000 230 m, p, o -Xylene 2,000 23 HSE Air Monitoring Program January 2021 Page 14 carbon sorbent tube result will be evaluated against the acute HGVs for each compound. Production facilities will be in operation beyond one (1) year. The sampling results will be compared to the acute and chronic HGVs. The evaluation against the chronic HGVs will be based on the mean of all 24-hour SUMMA® canister samples and carbon sorbent tube results. The evaluation for acute exposure will follow the Pre- production process. 12. MONITOR DATA AND REPORTING Monitoring Data o The data platform used for this monitoring program, AirSense, does not allow for data to be edited or modified. Users can tag and invalidate data but not directly edit data. In addition, as described in the diagram below, all data sent by instruments are stored in the Raw Database that is only inserted by the API and only can be read by the processor. The Airsense site gives users no direct access to the Raw dDatabase. When calibrating sensors, the data is saved to a new data point leaving both the raw and processed data points. All calibration or scaling adjustments are logged and date-stamped to identify when settings have changed. Even if changes are made, no actual data is modified. These settings allow for scaling and truncating, but the data is never directly modified, they are for viewing and alerting purposes only. All monitors data is delivered to AirSense via cellular communication. The monitors also have local data storage so in the event of a cell tower going down all data collected during that time period can be recovered. All records and documents pertinent to the perimeter monitoring program will be stored indefinitely on back-up computer servers and backed up onto offsite disk storage. Reporting Monthly reports of monitoring conducted will be submitted to the Division by the last day of the month following the previous month of monitoring (e.g., by June 30 for the previous May 1-31), including (Reg. 7 VI.C.2.b.): The month and year of the monitoring period.

The network will utilize low-cost cutting-edge air pollution sensor technology, redeveloped with solar, battery storage and data connectivity to make it useful for widescale deployment and replicable in any oil and gas facility. Each participating well pad will receive a minimum of four (4) sensors and data access via a data platform dashboard. The dashboard will display real time data and recent alerts, while the backend data platform will create insights for AQ patterns near each pad, leading to operational improvements, as well as generate automated alerts for stakeholders. 1.2 GENERAL The procedures outlined in this document cover the quality assurance procedures to be utilized in the deployment, operations and maintenance of the sensors. Two different sensor manufactures will be used in the quality assurance program as outlined in Table 1-1: TABLE 1-1 MONITORING SENSORS Manufacturer Model Manufactured State Sensit SPOD Indiana Lunar Outpost Canary-S Colorado The sensors measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air. A specification sheet on the sensors can be found in Appendix A. As part of this program, an AQ data platform, developed by AirSense, manages, quality controls, and reports the sensor data. 1.3 PROJECT CONTACTS 1.3.1 Personnel A list of project participants is included below in Table 1-2: Occidental Petroleum Quality Assurance Project Plan TABLE 1-2 PROJECT PERSONNEL Occidental Petroleum Project Contact: Chad Schlichtemeier Title: Rockies HSE Manager Address: 1099 18th St #1800 Denver, CO 80202 Telephone: 720-929-6867 Email: chad_schlichtemeier@oxy.com Montrose Air Quality Services, LLC Information Project Contact: Austin Heitmann Patrick Clark, PE, QSTI Title: Project Manager VP Ambient and Emerging Tech.

TABLE 1-3 PERSONNEL RESPONSIBILITIES Person/Company Primary Assignment Chad Schlichtemeier (Oxy) Overall Project Coordinator Austin Heitmann (Montrose) Sensor deployment, sensor operations, sensor maintenance and QA/QC, data platform management 2.0 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION 2.1 SENSORS The Sensit’s SPOD and Lunar Outpost’s Canary-S are air quality monitoring systems equipped with a single Ion Science photoionization detector (PID), cellular communication, and powered via a solar panel and battery. A multitude of units can be deployed to create a network of real- time, localized data focusing on air quality and meteorological measurements. The sensors can monitor VOCs, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and barometric pressure. A complete datasheet summarizing the specifications of the SPOD and Canary-S can Occidental Petroleum Quality Assurance Project Plan be found in the Appendix of this test plan. Both units communicate via a cellular back haul directly to the data platform. 2.2 DATA PLATFORM The AirSense data management platform handles traditional air monitoring data and next generation air sensor data. The AirSense system is a cloud based system that ingests data, performs quality control, calibrates air sensor data, and distribution of air sensor data. AirSense handles up to 1-second data (fixed or mobile), any pollutant or parameter, and offers intuitive navigation to view and display data for public and technical applications. For Oxy and Montrose personnel AirSense’s dashboard provides a summary of the operational status of network. For each well pad, AirSense provides a display showing 1-minute, 15-minute, and 12-hour average readings, site maps, and meteorological data. Occidental Petroleum Quality Assurance Project Plan FIGURE 2.1 SCREEN SHOT OF THE AIRSENSE DASHBOARD Occidental Petroleum Quality Assurance Project Plan 3.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE QUALITY CONTROL 3.1 DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES The following procedures will be followed prior to deploying a sensor to a pad. Any sensors not meeting all the requirements outlined below will be returned to the manufacturer. 3.1.1 Sensor Deployment/Maintenance Log Upon completion of the sensor pre-delivery checks, the sensors will be received by Montrose and a sensor deployment/maintenance log initiated. The log will be stored on Montrose’s server which is only accessible by Montrose personnel and will contain the following minimum information: • Sensor serial number • Sensor model number • AirSense key • Results of the initial sensor calibration check out procedures • Deployment location, date and time • Filter replacement schedule • History of notes, issues and maintenance procedures organized by date 3.1.2 Gas Calibration A calibration would be performed on all equipment during the initial deployment effort. Montrose personnel would complete monthly calibration checks on each PID sensor using a Zero Air, 3 ppm, and 5 ppm isobutylene certified cylinder. A gas hood is installed over the top of the PID sensor and gas is flowed at approximately 0.5 L/min across the sensing portion of the PID face. TABLE 3-1 MINIMUM GAS CALIBRATION CRITERIA Parameter Minimum Criteria1 3 ppm Precision |3*SD2|<=50 ppb Zero Air Error (Bias) <10% of span gas bottle value 3 ppm Error (Bias) <25% of bottle value 5 ppm Error (Bias) <20% of bottle value Based on the response of the analyzer to each concentration of gas a linear fit will be applied to the data to produce a slope and intercept that is applied to the raw VOC parameter. Once the units are deployed to the field some minor adjustments are made to the unit’s baseline reading, 1 Based on 1-minute readings 2Standard Deviation Occidental Petroleum Quality Assurance Project Plan this adjustment is considered when evaluating if the calibration met the minimum criteria outlined above. 3.1.3 Wind Direction Siting The sonic anemometers North orientation marker's stated direction is conducted using a Brunton pocket transit. The field personnel sites the monitor during the initial deployment and then confirms this reading during each subsequent monthly calibration checks. An acceptable check will verify that the North siting is within 10 degrees. If the verification check fails the monitor will be adjusted and this will be noted in the monthly report. 3.2 ON GOING QUALITY ASSURANCE QUALITY CONTROL The following procedures will be followed on an on-going basis to assure the quality of collected data. 3.2.1 Data Platform Alerts The AirSense data platform will alert Montrose and Oxy according to the table below. Alerts will be in the form of an immediate e-mail notification. TABLE 3-2 PLATFORM ALERT CRITERIA Parameter Minimum Criteria Range check -1 to 100 ppm Sticking check Constant value for more than 15 1-minute data points No data alerts When no data is received for more than 15 minutes emails alerts will be issued at a frequency of once per 6-hours 3.2.2 Montrose Quality Assurance Checks Montrose will review the nightly reports generated as outlined in section 4.0 to verify that the field criteria in Table 3-3 is met. TABLE 3-3 MINIMUM FIELD CRITERIA Parameter 1-Minute Average Minimum Criteria Data Recovery >90% over 48 hours Occidental Petroleum Quality Assurance Project Plan Baseline Variation Over 24 Hours +/- 0.2 ppm If any of the criteria laid out in Table 3-3 fail the following procedures will be followed depending on the parameter in question and a back-up sensor will be ready to replace a failed sensor at all times: Data Recovery: If the sensor fails to meet the data recovery minimums as laid out in Table 3-3 a technician will inspect the unit. Each day is defined as the 24-hour period beginning when the nightly reports are generated at approximately midnight mountain time. The inspection will consist of checking for any loose connections within the unit that may be causing a power failure and that 12 volts of power is being generated by the solar panel and can be traced back to the barrel jack plugged in the device. If the technician cannot determine the cause of the data recovery the unit will be returned to the manufacturer for a more in-depth review. Baseline Variation Over 24 Hours: It is expected that there will be slight baseline variation over 24 hours due to environmental conditions. If this baseline fluctuates more than 0.2 ppm in either direction from the average baseline over a 24-hour period a field technician will inspect the unit. If the technician cannot determine the cause of the baseline fluctuation the unit will be returned to the manufacturer for a more in-depth review. 3.2.3 Monthly Quality Assurance Procedure Monthly a bump test will be conducted on the PID detector to verify that the data collected during the month prior is quality data. This bump test will consist of a different 3 ppm isobutylene gas, if available, then was used for the initial calibration and to pass the reading must be within +/- 25% of the gas bottle value. If the unit fails a bump test: A full three-point calibration will be done on the unit, as outlined in section 3.1.2, and a full inspection will be performed to determine why the bump test failed. If a reason for the failed bump test cannot be determined the unit will be returned to the shop for maintenance and/or the full three-point calibration will be used to update the slope and intercept described in section 3.1.2. If the unit passes a bump test: The unit will be redeployed to the field without making any adjustments to the calibration factors. Though the calibration factors may be adjusted if the unit nearly failed the bump test. 3.2.4 Consumables Replacement Schedule The hydrophobic particulate filter built into the electrode stack on each Ion Science detector deteriorates after approximately 6-8 weeks due to the UV light produced by the lamp. Once this filter deteriorates dust and other particulate can enter the lamp cavity and cause a diminished signal. An additional filter is installed prior to the PID but not in direct contact with the UV lamp. This additional filter has no impact on the VOC concentrations entering the PID. The lamp used to produce the UV light needs replacing approximately every 12 month. After approximately 6 months of field monitoring the monitor will be swapped out with another unit that has had it’s consumables replaced and has been calibrated as described in Section 3.1.2.

Enthalpy Analytical Standard Operating Procedure I Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 325B I Enthal SOP # ENT222 Revision # 3.0 Author David Berkowitz Date Authored September 4, 2013 Revised by Glenn Graham Date Revised April 19, 2019 Pages 22 Technical Director/designee Approval: ~,4-----\.IL~___L--¥-_",,--_Approval Date: 6-J.f-(q Quality A"mance Di=tor/d~;"", Review: y~~ Review Date: (g-;) 81 'I Effective Date: g-/f}:/ q 1.0 Scope and Application: This document describes the procedures for thermal desorption -gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GCIMS) analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) collected on sorbent tubes using passive sampling. Table 1. in Appendix A. contains the list of analytes that may be determined using this SOP. 2.0 Summary of Method: Sorbent tubes are conditioned, blanked, and shipped to the field for deployment. Sorbent tube samples received at the laboratory for analysis are thermally desorbed and analyzed by GCIMS for trace-level VOCs. Critical steps included in the process of thermal desorption of each sample are: Leak testing under stop flow, ambient conditions, internal standard addition, tube purging, thermal desorption of the sample tube, refocusing on a cold trap, secondary desorption of the cold trap with transfer/injection of the sample to the capillary GC column for analysis of the analytes of interest. Measures included for the purposes of water management include: Selection of hydrophobic sorbents for the sample tube and optional dry purging of the sample tube for approximately an hour on a tube purging station prior to analysis. The tube may be optionally dry purged prior to thermal desorption to the cold trap. See also SOP ENT226. 2.1 Exceptions to Method Criteria: 2.1.1 Enthalpy will run a minimum of one initial calibration per year to verify continuing instrument linearity instead of the three month criteria from the method. 2.1.2 Since the rCAL points have already been demonstrated to be valid compared to the rcv run after the rCAL, the CCV5 analyses made daily serves to demonstrate the continuing solution validity. Therefore, rcvs will only be run with rCALS and not every three months as per the method criteria.

This would confirm a bad injection on the CCV and not a bad spike of the internal standard. 3.0 Definitions: 3.1 Thermal Desorption (TD) -The use of heat and a flow of inert (carrier) gas to extract volatiles from a solid matrix. 3.2 Blanking The desorption and confirmatory analysis of conditioned sorbent tubes prior to shipping for field sample collection. 3.3 Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV) - A midpoint calibration standard analyzed periodically throughout the sequence to verify the linearity of the multipoint calibration. 3.4 Focusing Trap A cooled secondary sorbent trap integrated into the thermal desorber to refocus analytes desorbed from the sample tube. 3.5 Initial Calibration Verification (lCV) - A second source standard analyzed after the Initial Calibration to verify accuracy of the initial calibration. 3.6 Field Blank (FB) Blank tubes shipped to and from the sampling site. Field blank tubes are handled in the same manner as sample tubes, but are not opened to the atmosphere during sampling. 3.7 Method Blank (MB) Analysis of a laboratory blank conditioned tube preferably from the same batch as the tubes used for the field samples. Not a field blank. The method blank is used to verify the contaminant level ofthe analytical system. 3.8 System Blank (SB) An optional analysis of an empty stainless steel tube (no sorbent packing in tube) used to verify that the instrument is contaminant free. 3.9 Standard Conditions Standard temperature and pressure are defined in EPA Method 325B as 25°C (298.2K) and 760mmHg, respectively. 3.10 LOQ (Limit of Quantitation) -Value equal to the lowest calibration standard level used in generating the instrument calibration SOP # ENT222 Revision 3.0 Last Printed 6/28/2019 SOP-222_R3 (EPA Method 325B).docx Page 2 of22 Last Saved 6/28/2019 ORIGINAL If not red, destroy this copy after use. 4.0 Safety: Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn including a lab coat, gloves and safety glasses as deemed necessary. 5.0 Equipment and Supplies: 5.1 Thermal Desorption system -Perkin Elmer ATD650 or equivalent. 5.2 Thermal Desorber Interface -Uniformly heated transfer line with direct connection to the capillary column. 5.3 Thermal Desorption Tubes -Compatible with Perkin Elmer ATD650. Tubes should be 89 mm long, 6.5 nun o.d. (outer diameter) and 5 nun i.d. (inner diameter) made of stainless steel or inert-coated stainless steel with the central section packed with up to 60 nun of sorbent. The sorbent is typically supported between two 100 mesh stainless steel gauzes. When tubes are used for diffusive sampling, they must have an internal diffusion (air) gap of 1.5 cm between the sorbent retaining gauze at the sampling end of the tube and the gauze in the diffusion cap. 5.4 Long term storage caps -Two piece \14" metal Swagelok type tube caps with PTFE ferrules. 5.5 Short term/analytical caps Caps are made of inert material such as PTFE and compatible with the automated TD system. 5.6 Storage and transportation containers Clean glass jars, metal cans, or non-emitting polymer boxes are used to transport and store tubes. A small packet of activated sorbent material may be included in the shipping container with un-sampled conditioned tubes to safeguard against ambient contamination. 5.7 Tube conditioning apparatus A dedicated tube conditioning unit must be leak-tight, allow precise and reproducible temperature selection (±5°C), offer a temperature range at least as great as the thermal desorber and support inert gas flows of up to 150 mLimin through each tube. A TD system may be used provided it supports a dedicated tube conditioning mode in which the inert gas effluent is directed to vent without passing through the key parts of the sample flow-path. 5.8 Tube Purging Station - A dedicated tube purging station must be leak-tight, and support controlled inert gas flows through each tube at ambient temperature. 5.9 Unheated injection port for loading standards onto blank tubes -The apparatus should have a push-fit or finger-tightening connector for attaching the sampling end of blank sorbent tubes without damaging the tube. It must have a means of controlling the carrier gas flow between 50 and 100cc/min. A low emission septum must be used allowing the introduction of liquid or gas standards via appropriate syringes. 5.10 Mass Spectrometer (MS) Agilent 5973 or 5975 Mass Selective Detector (MSD) or equivalent set in scan mode. This system is capable of scanning from 29 to 300 amu every 1 second or less, using 70 eV. 5.11 Gas Chromatograph (GC) -Agilent 5890 or 6890N series or equivalent.

This system is capable of continuous acquisition and storage of mass spectral data obtained throughout the run. The processing software allows for data to be plotted as total ion current abundance or extracted ion current abundance versus time and is equipped with a 129,000 analyte library from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for mass spectra identification. 6.0 Reagents and Standards: 6.1 Carrier Gas -UHP Hydrogen or Helium 6.2 Sorbent tubes - A suitable sorbent must be chosen based on the physical properties of the analytes of interest. Carbopack X is the optimal sorbent choice when sampling I, 3-Butadiene. Uptake rates should be verified for the sorbent used when the tubes are used for passive sampling unless they are available in relevant international standards or peer reviewed publications. 6.3 Gas phase standards Static or dynamic atmospheres of certified calibration gases, accurate to ± I 0% or better, may be used to prepare calibration tubes or validate passive sampling uptake rates. Changes in room temperature and atmospheric pressure can change the mass spiked onto the TD tube when spiking with gas phase standards. When calculating the mass spiked onto tubes used for performing an initial calibration, the room temperature and atmospheric pressure must be recorded and included in calculating the mass of each standard. When preparing CCV standard tubes, the analyst must verify that any change in the room temperature and atmospheric pressure do not cause the spiked mass to differ from the initial calibration standard by more than 3%. If the CCV standard concentration changes by more than 3% from the initial calibration standard, the new CCV concentration must be used in any subsequent analyses/calculations. Gas standards should be spiked onto calibration tubes using an appropriate gas-tight syringe for each tag amount. Each sorbent tube should be left connected to the flow of gas for 2 minutes after standard introduction. Alternatively, gas standards may be prepared using a Thermal Desorber with appropriate volume gas loops for each level. 6.4 Liquid Stock Standards -Liquid stock standards may be purchased from approved vendors at specified concentrations or may be prepared from neat materials. Purchased stock standards will have an expiration date assigned by the manufacturer and are stored according to manufacturer recommendations. Prepared liquid stock standards will be assigned a 1 year expiration date and should be stored ::;6°C. Liquid stock standards may be used to prepare working standards which may then be used to spike the calibration standard tubes. 6.5 Liquid working standards prepared for spiking calibration standard tubes must be stored at ::;6°C and discarded after two weeks from preparation.

Prepare the calibration standard tubes as follows: 6.5.1 Precise 0.5 to 21lL aliquots of liquid standard are introduced to the sampling end of blank sorbent tubes in a flow of carrier gas using a capillary syringe and urIheated injector. 6.5.2 Each standard tube is purged with carrier gas for five minutes after spiking. 6.5.3 Each standard tube must be sealed with long term storage caps immediately after being spiked unless they are to be analyzed immediately. Calibration tube standards expire after 30 days and must be stored in the same manner as samples. 6.6 GC/MS Tuning Standard - A certified cylinder containing 4-Bromofluorobenzene (BFB) at a known concentration, such that the loop used to load the standard results in an on-column concentration of 50 ng or less. 6.7 Internal Standards - A certified cylinder containing Benzene-d6, Toluene-dg, and Bromofluorobenzene at known concentrations, such that a 5 mL load results in on column masses of approximately 20 to 50 ng. 7.0 Sample Preservation, Storage, and Handling: 7.1 Store samples in clean glass jars, metal cans or rigid, non-emitting polymer boxes with long term storage caps. 7.2 Sample tubes must be inspected for damage, lose or missing storage caps, or any other problem prior to analysis. Any problems must be documented and tubes are not to be analyzed unless directed by the customer. Tubes which will not pass leak check due to damage on the very ends of the tube may be analyzed if the damage can be mitigated with micro-mesh or similar material to allow the leak test to pass. 7.3 Sample tubes must be analyzed within 30 days of the end of sample collection. 7.4 Samples must be stored at or below 23°C. If a refrigerator is used for storage, it must be clean and free of organic solvents. 8.0 Calibration: 8.1 Instrument Performance Check (Tuning): 8.1.1 Prior to the analysis of calibration standards, blanks or samples, analyze the BFB standard to verify acceptable mass spectrometer performance. The injection of BFB begins the 24 hour analytical clock. 8.1.2 Either a blank tube or a continuing calibration tube containing <SOng of BFB is analyzed. Process the BFB analysis by averaging three scans (the scan prior to the peak apex, the peak apex and the scan following the peak apex) then subtracting one scan prior to the elution of the BFB peak. 8.1.3 The criteria listed in Table 2 in Appendix A must be met before analysis of blanks and samples may begin. If any of the ion abundance criteria are not met, retune the mass spectrometer and repeat the BFB analysis.

The following note should to be added to the narrative. "The BFB tune exhibited high bias for the relative response of mJz 96. The use of hydrogen as a carrier gas is known to cause protonation of the mJz 95 BFB product ion resulting in an elevated response for mJz 96. All other BFB tuning criteria have been met for this analysis." 8.2 Initial Calibration: 8.2.1 A spiked tube multipoint calibration, minimum 5 levels, is performed at least yearly. One of the calibration levels must be the same as the daily continuing calibration. See Table 3 in Appendix B for General GC/MS Operating Conditions. 8.2.2 Discrete tube preparations are performed for each level. Desorbing, splitting, and recollecting to prepare another level is not acceptable. Calibration standards must be analyzed using the same analytical conditions as the field samples. 8.2.3 Enter the mass in ng for each analyte into the calibration table when new standards are prepared. Upon analysis of the initial calibration, update each calibration level with the analyte response. The software then calculates the average response factor (RF) and percent Relative Standard Deviation (%RSD) for each analyte. 8.2.4 The software also calculates the mean Response Factor, RF , the Relative Retention Time (RRT), and the Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) for all target analytes over the range of the initial calibration. The response factor for each target analyte is calculated using the equation in section 11.1. 8.2.5 Tabulate the area response of the primary ion for each internal standard and calculate the mean area response. Calculate the mean Retention Time (RT) for each internal standard over the range of the calibration. 8.2.6 Repeat the initial calibration after major changes are made to the instrument including ion source cleaning or repair, column replacement, anytime the mass spectrometer is vented, or if the continuing calibration acceptance . criteria cannot be met.

If this criterion is not met, maintenance may be required prior to analysis of a new initial calibration. 8.3.2 The results of the analysis of each analyte in each calibration must be within 30% of its tag value. 8.3.3 The RRT for each analyte at each calibration level must be within ±0.06 RRT units of the mean RR T for that analyte. 8.3.4 If these criterions are not met, maintenance may be required prior to analysis of a new initial calibration or a new preparation of the calibration standards may be needed. 8.4 Initial Calibration Verification (ICV): 8.4.1 Analyze an ICV after the acceptable analysis of an initial calibration. The ICV standard should be prepared using a second source of reference materials. 8.4.2 Results of the analysis of the ICV standard must be within 30% of its tag value. If this criterion is not met, prepare and analyze a fresh standard. If reanalysis fails, check the instrument for problems. If necessary, analyze a new initial calibration. 8.5 If sufficient time remains on the 24 hour analytical clock after the acceptable initial calibration and ICV analyses, samples may be analyzed. If not, analyze a CCV/BFB instrument performance standard to start a new 24 hour analytical clock. 8.6 Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV): 8.6.1 Analyze a daily CCV containing a passing BFB injection. The percent difference (%D) between the analyte RFs in the CCV and corresponding average RF from the initial calibration must be :::;30%.

If maintenance and new standards fail to correct the problem, analyze a new initial calibration. 9.0 Procedure: 9.1 Tube conditioning: 9.1.1 Freshly packed or newly purchased Carbopack X tubes need to be conditioned at between 315°C (our instrument desorption temperature) and 400°C (the temperature limit for Carbopack X) under a stream of inert gas, flowing between 50 and 150 mLimin for at least 2 hours prior to field use. All other tubes need to be conditioned for at least 30 minutes prior' to field use. 9.1.2 Unused/spare tubes received with field samples shall not be put into the conditioning queue until the analyst has verified that all field samples for the particular job have been loaded (or are available for analysis). 9.1.3 Tubes may be conditioned using the thermal desorber provided the unit has a tube conditioning mode in which the effluent from contaminated tubes is directed to vent without passing through key parts of the sample flow-path such as the focusing trap. 9.1.4 Tubes may be conditioned using a dedicated conditioning apparatus provided it is leak tight to prevent air ingress, allows precise and reproducible temperature selection (±5°C), offers a temperature range at least as great as that of the tube conditioning temperature, and supports inert gas flows of 50 120 mLimin through each tube. 9.1.5 Freshly packed or newly purchased tubes must be analyzed individually to demonstrate they are free of contaminants and interference. All other conditioned tubes must be demonstrated to be free of contaminants and interference by analyzing 10% of the conditioned tubes selected at random from each batch. 9.1.6 Blanked tubes should be processed using the response from the Daily CCV to ensure accurate levels are calculated compared to actual sample tubes. The contribution peaks should be included in the area. 9.1.7 Background contamination must be < 2.5 ng. 9.1.8 If tubes contain unacceptable levels of background contamination, repeat the conditioning and recertification process for that entire box of cleaned tubes (including untested tubes). 9.1.9 Sample tubes in which the catch weight exceeds the calibration limit must be marked after analysis and individually blank checked after reconditioning. 9.1.10 Tubes must be reconditioned if not used within 30 days of conditioning.

The ATD will continue to test and analyze subsequent tubes. Note that the GCIMS will acquire the next tube in the ATD sequence as if it were the original tube thus unsynchronizing the A TD sequence from the GC/MS sequence. 9.2.4.2 The sample flow path is leak tested without heat or gas flow applied to the sample tube. If a leak is detected, the analytical sequence should be terminated. 9.3 Sample Dry Purge: 9.3.1 Before loading on the ATD, sample tubes may be dry purged with inert gas at ambient temperature for approximately one hour to remove moisture from the tube. They are purged with the sampling sides down (Arrow pointing down). See SOP -226. 9.3.2 Before analysis after loading on the ATD, tubes are dry purged with 30cc/min of carner gas passing into the tube from the sampling end for 4 minutes to remove any remaining water vapor. 9.4 Sample Analysis: 9.4.1 An analytical sequence should consist of the following elements in order: 9.4.1.1 A Passing BFB/CCV standard see Appendix B -or BFB followed by Initial Calibration and ICV 9.4.1.2 Method Blank (MB) 9.4.1.3 Field Blank (FB) 9.4.1.4 Field Samples -up to ten 9.4.1.5 Field Blank (if available) 9.4.1.6 CCV 9.4.1.7 Additional Field Samples up to ten 9.4.1.8 Closing CCV SOP # ENT222 Revision 3.0 Last Printed 6/28/2019 SOP-222_R3 (EPA Method 325B).docx Page 9 of22 Last Saved 6/28/2019 ORIGINAL If not red, destroy this copy after use. Note that BFBs or System Blanks may be injected as needed for diagnostic purposes. 9.4.2 Internal standard addition is performed automatically using the A TD. A fixed volume loop is used to introduce the standard to each tube prior to desorption. Benzene-d6 or Toluene-d8 are used to quantitate target concentrations. 9.4.3 Each tube should be purged to vent with carrier flowing in the direction of sample desorption to remove oxygen prior to heating. 9.4.4 Desorb each tube using the same instrument conditions used to calibrate the system. 9.4.5 The internal standard area responses for each sample analysis must not differ by more than ± 40% from the area responses of the daily beginning CCV. Flag sample results for analyses that do not meet the response criteria. 9.4.6 The internal standard retention times must not vary by more than 20 seconds from the retention times of the internal standard in the daily beginning CCV. 9.4.7 Analyzed tubes must be resealed with long-term storage caps after the completion of the analytical sequence. 9.4.8 Report results in ng, Ilg/m3, and ppbv for each analyte, unless otherwise directed by the client. 'E' Flag any result that exceeds the calibration range of the instrument in the data report and associated narrative. 9.5 Record all information associated with instrument calibration and sample analysis on the instrument log book pages. 9.6 Record any instrument maintenance in the instrument's maintenance logbook. 9.7 Interferences: 9.7.l Contamination may occur in the sampling system if tubes are not properly conditioned before use. 9.7.2 Interferences in tubes samples may result from improper use or from contamination of: (1) the tubes due to poo~ manufacturing practices, (2) the tube conditioning cleaning apparatus, and (3) the sampling, shipping or analytical system. 9.7.3 If benzene-d6 is used as an internal standard, a small amount of benzene contribution from the standard will elute on the front of the native benzene. This contribution will be less than the method MDL. The peaks will only be manually integrated if the native benzene from the sampling is not completely included in the area. The internal standard contribution will be integrated out of the peak at the request of the client if the results will affect the clients sampling frequency and will be noted in the narrative. 9.7.4 Attention to the following details will help to minimize the possibility of contamination of tubes. 9.7.4.1 Tubes should be manufactured using high quality stainless steel, preferably deactivated, and new tubes should be conditioned at the lab regardless if they were conditioned by the manufacturer.

This in tum can result in carryover contamination in subsequent analyses. Closely examine the sample analysis following the high concentration sample for the presence of carryover. If carryover is suspected, data should be qualified in the report narrative. 10.0 Quality Control: 10.1 Method Blank: 10. LIThe Method Blank is a conditioned blank tube analyzed daily prior to sample analysis but after an acceptable initial or continuing calibration. One Method Blank should be analyzed for a batch of up to 20 field samples or at least once per 24 hour analytical sequence. 10.1.2 The Method Blank must not contain target analytes at concentrations greater than 2.5 ng. . 10.1.3 The internal standard response and retention time criteria in sections 9.4.5 and 9.4.6 must be met. If not, perform clean-up procedures on the analytical system and analyze another method blank. If the samples were already run prior to discovering method blank. 10.2 Field Samples should be flagged with a "P" or "Pc" if Field Duplicates results are not within 30% of the concentration oftheir respective collocated samples. 10.3 Desorption efficiency and compound recovery for the TD method must be demonstrated at instrument setup and after the analytical system is recalibrated. Compound recovery must be greater than 95% for replicate analyses of the same sample tube. Following an initial calibration and ICV acquisition, analyze the high CCV point at 3-1 no-Recollect with internal standard. Immediately rerun the same tube 2-1 using no-Recollect with internal standard. Quantitate the amount of each target, if any, from the second run. This must be less than 5% of the amount originally spiked on tube for the initial run. 11.0 Data Analysis and Calculations: 11.1 Calculate the response factor (RF) for each analyte in the calibration using the following equation: RF = Areac x Amt[S Area!s Amtc Where: Areac = Area of analyte SOP # ENT222 Revision 3.0 Last Printed 6/28/2019 SOP-222_R3 (EPA Method 325B).docx Page 11 of22 Last Saved 6/28/2019 ORIGINAL If not red, destroy this copy after use.

Remove canister from box. 2. Check plug on canister is on tight 3. Confirm the valve on the canister is closed 4. Remove the plug from the inlet of the canister and reserve for after sample collection. If there is an additional fitting attached to the valve, make sure to hold the hex below the plug still with a ½” wrench to remove the plug. Failure to do this may cause the canister to lose vacuum. 5. Remove the cap from the bottom of a sample regulator. (Note: There is a removable graphite/vespel ferrule on this fitting – take care to make sure it is not lost when removing.) 6. If the ferrule falls out, place the ferrule on the tubing stub of the regulator with the taped end facing the connection to be made. 7. Connect the regulator to the sample canister. Tighten the nut on the regulator ¼ turn past finger-tight. Make sure to hold the hex of the additional fitting still (if present) with a ½” wrench to ensure that it’s snug. 8. Check and note if the needle is not on zero on the vacuum gauge. 9. Ensure the inlet nut on the inlet filter to the regulator is on and tight. 10. Mount the canister on a tripod (same tripod as a continuous monitor, if applicable) approximately 4-7 feet off the ground. 11. Open the valve on the canister and note the vacuum in the canister. The canister has acceptable vacuum if the gauge reads between 23-28 InHg – please add or subtract any zero offset noted. 12. Allow the regulator to equilibrate for 30 seconds then close the valve on the regulator. 13. To check for leaks, observe the vacuum gauge for 30 seconds to make sure the needle does not move toward zero. 14. If leaking repeat steps above after tighten the fittings an additional 1/8 of a turn. Do this systematically one at a time starting at the canister and moving toward the inlet of the regulator. 15. When ready to sample remove the nut from the inlet of the regulator and open canister. Record sampling information on the COC – Sample ID, Can #, Regulator #. 16.

The Airmar WX Series is unique because it calculates both true and apparent wind speed and direction. These wind readings are the same if the unit is mounted in a fixed location. However, if the WX Series is mounted on a moving vehicle, the apparent wind is the wind you would feel on your hand if you held it out the window while going down the highway. Since the WX Series has a built in GPS and compass, it calculates the true wind based upon the apparent wind, speed of the vehicle, and compass heading. True wind information is significant for numerous appli- cations on hazardous response vehicles. True wind speed and direction is also mission-critical. When en route to an emergency situation, first responders can use the true wind readings to predict wind conditions at the disaster site before they even arrive, giving vital information for planning operations and staging apparatus. Each WeatherStation Instrument is factory calibrated in a wind tunnel at our state-of-the-art facility located in Milford, New Hampshire, USA. Airmar’s WX Series products are the only all-in-one unit to offer true and apparent wind speeds without additional sensors.

(Oxy) has asked Kahuna Ventures (KAHUNA) to recommend sampling procedure and duration guidelines for air monitoring in the vicinity of their operations in Northeastern Colorado. This recommendation will allow for Oxy to best compare air sampling results to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) acute inhalation Minimum Risk Levels (MRL), especially the acute inhalation MRL for benzene. The acute inhalation MRL for benzene is 9 parts per billion (ppb). MRLs are derived when reliable and sufficient data exists to determine an estimate of the daily human exposure to a hazardous substance that is likely to be without appreciable risk of adverse, non-cancer health effects over a specified duration of exposure. Acute inhalation MRLs are derived for a 1 to 14-day inhalation exposure duration. Additionally, MRLs are generally based on the most sensitive chemical-induced end point considered to be of relevance to humans and ATSDR uses a conservative approach in determining the specific MRL in order to address any uncertainty related to the population considered to be most sensitive (infants, elderly, nutritionally or immunologically compromised). Therefore, it is my opinion Oxy should collect a 14-day air sample to compare to the acute inhalation MRL for benzene (9 ppb) and best assess potential impacts to surrounding populations. Sampling should follow the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 325A—Volatile Organic Compounds from Fugitive and Area Sources. This Method has been established by the EPA to screen average airborne VOC concentrations at facility property boundaries or monitoring perimeters over an extended period of time. The duration of each sampling period is normally 14 days. This method allows for the collection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using passive (diffusive) tube samplers (Supelco Radiello 130 passive badges). This method also requires the collection of local meteorological data (wind speed and direction, temperature, and barometric pressure) in order to effectively determine emission sources and potential impact areas. In addition, Oxy should continuously monitor the sampling locations for Total Organic Vapors (TOCs). This will provide Oxy the data necessary to evaluate potential high emission periods and design further sampling actions. Oxy can then use data obtained as screening levels for potential impacts to surrounding populations. In the event that the average airborne benzene concentration exceeds the acute inhalation MRL for benzene (9 ppb), additional sampling should be conducted. This additional sampling may include 11400 Westmoor Circle, Ste. 325 303.451.7374 Westminster, CO 80021 www.kahunaventures.com evaluation of the continuous VOC monitoring data in order to collect additional samples related to a specific event, such as initial flowback. I would then recommend a 24-hour air sample be collected during this specific event using a SUMMA canister, to further evaluate potential impacts to surrounding populations. If anyone has questions regarding this guideline, please contact me. KAHUNA looks forward to working with Oxy on any future projects relating to this guideline.
