Locations for Monitoring Teams

Particulate monitoring for in-situ burning is done when there is concern that the smoke plume may impact a sensitive location, such as a town. In general, monitoring is done upwind of this location to minimize interferences from cars, industry, and homes. If several teams are available, one team deploys upwind of the sensitive location, a second one downwind of it, and a third may be deployed at the discretion of the Monitoring Group Supervisor.
