Recommendations
We would
recommend finding better data to calculate
the dispersion of pollution based on chimney heights. The New Mexico
Air
Quality Bureau had a great website (www.nmenv.state.us.com)
about dispersion modeling. We would be interested in meeting with them
or
learning more about what they do. It would be very valuable to learn
more about
alterative energy sources that could be used in our area without
creating more
pollution. For example, are solar or wind power cost efficient to
produce
enough switch power? This project is important because of the
controversy of
building a third power plant, and therefore it would be crucial to show
the
community and politicians the effects of pollution.
