Rock Springs Air Monitoring Station Operational

An air quality monitoring station in a gas field south of Rock Springs is now in operation according to State regulators. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality says the monitoring station in the Hiawatha Gas Field is solar and wind powered. The station will check for ozone gas, which has been a recurring problem during the winter in the Upper Green River Basin north of Rock Springs. The station also will monitor temperature, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, relative humidity and sunlight.
