Identifying the chemical/physical characteristics and source of pollutants contributing to low lying wintertime layered hazes in the canyons along the Colorado River where it cuts through the Colorado River Plateau area is one objective of the subregional cooperative electric utility, national park service (NPS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Defense (DOD) Study, (SCENES) consortium of industrial and government agencies. As part of SCENES, a short term special study, the winter haze intensive tracer experiment (WHITEX) was specially formulated to asses the feasibility of various receptor modeling techniques to attribute emissions from the Navajo Generating Station to aerosol concentrations in three National Park Service sites, Canyonlands and Grand Canyon National Parks and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, to relate aerosol concentrations to atmospheric extinction and finally to relate extinction to visibility impairment.This paper focuses on a subset of WHITEX, the source of visibility reducing aerosols at Page (Lake Powell), Arizona.
