The Forsyth County Office of Environmental Assistance and Protection is pleased to present its Five Year Air Quality Monitoring Assessment for review and comment. The U.S. EPA requires accredited State and Local monitoring agencies to conduct an assessment of their air quality monitoring network every five years. This assessment reviews changes in Forsyth County (population, demographics, traffic, meteorology, etc.) and the adequacy of the County's monitoring network for establishing the area's compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). In addition, the monitoring network is established to assure timely air quality information that may impact Forsyth County residents.
