7.3 Recommendations

Procedures for compliance with reporting and archiving requirements should be worked out with the agency and documented in the monitoring protocol prior to commencement of monitoring.

Meteorological data provided to regulatory agencies for use in modeling should be reduced to hourly averages using the procedures provided in Section 6. The data should be recorded in chronological order; records should be labeled according to the observation time (defined as the time at the end of the averaging period; i.e., the hour ending). 

Meteorological data used in support of SIP revisions or PSD permit applications should be archived initially for one year with provisions for review and extension to five years, ten years, or indefinite.
