Air Pollution
By:"John B. Stephenson"
Great Basin Nat, Park encompasses over 77,000 acres of White Pine County in east-central Nevada. The National Park Service mgmt. plan identifies threats to air quality and visibility -- incl. air pollution from the possible development of coal-fired power plants in the region. In 2004 and 2006, two companies each initiated the process to build new coal-fired power plants about 55 miles northwest of Great Basin National Park. These new power plants could adversely affect air quality and visibility in and around the park. This report describes: (1) current air quality and visibility in and around Great Basin National Park; and (2) stakeholders' views about the potential impacts of the proposed coal-fired power plants on air quality and visibility in and around the park.
