BACKGROUND: 

As a requirement of 40 CFR Part 58.10, Clark County must adopt and submit an annual monitoring network plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by July 1 of each year. 

The attached 2021 Annual Monitoring Network Plan reports the status of the Clark County air monitoring network in 2020. It also describes changes planned for 2021 and beyond, and the ways in which network data is disseminated to the public in a timely manner. 

The Department of Environment and Sustainability provided a 30-day period (April 6 to May 6, 2021) for the public to comment on the plan.  The comment period was advertised on the department’s website and in the "Las Vegas Review-Journal." No public comments were received. 

Staff requests that the Board approve and adopt the 2021 Annual Monitoring Network Plan and authorize its submission to EPA.
