Monitoring plan to perform ambient air and meteorological monitoring for True Geothermal Energy Company, Kilauea Middle East Rift Zone, island of Hawaii

Abstract

"This document presents the Air Quality Monitoring Plan of Operations for the True/Mid-Pacific Geothermal Development Project (True/Mid). The monitoring plan documents the air quality and meteorological monitoring program to support the incremental exploration and development of the Kilauea Middle East Rift Zone Geothermal Resources Subzone (GRS) , Puna District, Island of Hawaii. The Air Quality and Monitoring Plan is submitted to the Director of the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) who has the State's responsibility for implementing EPA and NIOSH air quality regulations in Hawaii. "The plan addresses primarily the monitoring to be accomplished during the exploration phases of the project. If significant resource is discovered, True/Mid may make a decision to proceed into the resource development once exploration is complete. This decision will be derived after the resource has been characterized, a feasibility study completed taking into account new and future development technology, economic feasibility and the environmental concerns of the public."
