FY1999 Great Lakes Projects

Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network Quality Assurance and Quality Control Program

Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network Quality Assurance and Quality Control Program (GL975179-01-0: $35,000)

Recipient: Environment Canada

Project Period: 10/1/99 to 9/30/01

Project Officer: Angela Bandemehr

The Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) is collaborating with Environment Canada to implement the binational Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network (IADN) as mandated by Annex 15 of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and Section 112(m) of the Clean Air Act. Both agencies reconfirmed their joint support of this binational partnership in the second phase of IADN, which began in 1998 with the signing of a six-year implementation plan by Dave Ullrich and John Mills. The subject cooperative agreement contributes to this binational partnership by matching Canadian support for the implementation of the IADN Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program. This program benefits the public and the Great Lakes States by providing quality controlled data to determine loadings of air toxics to the Great Lakes, for use in identification of sources of air toxics and to target reduction activities at the local level.
