The Multistate Atmospheric Power Production Pollution Study (MAP3S) is sponsored by the Assistant Secretary for Environment of the United States Department of Energy. The goal of the MAP3S program is to develop and demonstrate an improved, verified numerical capability to simulate the present and potential future changes in pollutant concentration, atmospheric behavior and precipitation chemistry as a result of pollutant releases to the atomosphere from large scale power production processes, primarily coal combustion. The research required to meet this goal has been described in the MAP3S plan. This first annual addendum to the plan contains a listing of individual projects that are sponsored by MAP3S, both those on which progress can be reported based on work in FY-1976 and early FY-1977 and those being planned for FY-1977 and beyond. Taken together, we expect these research projects and those related activities sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Electric Power Research Institute and other organizations, to provide the needed basis for an improved assessment of the impact of emissions of atmospheric energy-related (AER) pollutants from fossil fuel energy generation.
