Utilization of Air Quality Data: Examining the Role of Air Monitoring and Sampling Data in Community and Environmental Safeguarding

In the aftermath of the recent Moss Landing Vistra Battery Fire, the community can breathe a sigh of relief as the air remains clean and safe. The Monterey County Office of Emergency Services (OES) has been diligently monitoring the air quality, and the results from daily air monitoring reports continue to show no levels of contaminants, such as particulates and mineral acid gases, exceeding health standards.

This meticulous air monitoring and sampling is being carried out at multiple stations, both at the site and within the community. The air monitoring and sampling stations operate 24/7, ensuring constant vigilance and maintaining the safety of the area.

The current air sample results are being published by the Monterey County OES in the Moss Landing Vistra Battery Fire Data Viewer for the community to view. This transparency is a testament to the commitment of all parties involved in ensuring the safety and well-being of the community.

In the event that any elevated readings are detected, immediate action will be taken. Work would cease at the site, and Vistra, the company responsible for the battery storage facility, would make necessary changes to work processes to rectify the issue. For more details on the steps taken in such a scenario, please refer to the FAQ "What will EPA and Vistra do if there are elevated readings detected by the air monitors?"

The company is working closely with the county to establish a system for posting air monitoring data, further reinforcing their dedication to open communication and transparency. Rest assured, the community's air quality is being closely monitored, and every precaution is being taken to ensure its safety.
