Millennium (AMS 12)

This station was originally placed at the south end of the Suncor Energy Ltd. mine. The station was moved to a new location across the bridge on the Suncor plant site due to logistical difficulties with the original site.
The Millenium Station contains analyzers that continuously measure SO2, TRS, THC, NO, NO2 NOX, PM 2.5, wind speed and direction, and temperature. Non-continuous measurement devices include a PM10 and VOC's.

PLEASE NOTE: When ambient concentrations of any pollutant WBEA measures exceeds the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objective, WBEA has an immediate Reporting Protocol that is put into action. WBEA analyzers continuously monitor ambient air, and in the event of an exceedence the following steps are taken:
1 - The data collection system automatically sends out alarm notifications to WBEA personnel and an independent third party alarm monitoring company.
2 - The alarm company acknowledges the incoming alarm and reports the data and supporting information such as wind conditions, locations, time, etc, to Alberta Environment in real time, or as soon as becoming aware of it.
3 - As the provincial regulator, Alberta Environment uses the data and information from WBEA to follow up as appropriate.
