"*  The table lists the highest value for each statistic.  Within an air basin, the highest value for each statistic may reflect a different site."
"** These statistics and determination of their validity are calculated according to the methods specified in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix N.  Validity is based on the number of measurements"
"available per quarter and therefore, depends on completeness.  Both the 98th percentile concentration and the average of quarters concentration relate to the national PM2.5 standards,"
while only the average of quarters concentration relates to the State PM2.5 standard.
