What are the most common load errors?
Below is a link to a spreadsheet containing load error counts for all files submitted by states and tribes during the period January – September 2006. The file contains the error message, the type of AQS data the error applies to, and the total times that error was counted. The data are sorted with most frequent errors first. The errors are separated by data type, so the same error message may appear multiple times. For example, once for raw data and once for precision data. If you have trouble understanding what an error message really means you may consult the AQS Data Coding Manual for the data type and field in question, call the AQS Help Desk/EPA Call Center (1-866-411-4372), or contact Nick Mangus at mangus.nick@epa.gov. In general terms, AQS has about 18,000 files submitted each year. About 34% of these files have at least one load error. (And once that is corrected, about 25% have at least one statistical problem/outlier identified in the Statistical/Critical Review process). 8
