The full complement of modified sampling boxes was not ready until the fourth terminal visit.
Upwind and downwind samples were lost in Memphis, Miami, Hagerstown, Houston, and Laredo because of high moisture in the air (i.e., high humidity and heavy rain).
Delivery of the sampling equipment in Phoenix was delayed until Wednesday of the sampling week.
