National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program. Mission, Goals, and Program Plan, post 1990. Public Review draft

Technical Report · Fri Nov 01 00:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:5719652

The Acid Precipitation Act of 1980 and its re-authorization in 1990 mandates a comprehensive national program of policy-oriented research to assess the causes and consequences of acidic deposition and the effectiveness of the recently legislated acid rain controls. The National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) is directed toward providing technical input for decision-making in the areas of energy production, natural resource management, pollution abatement, and environmental policy. The Program not only links the efforts of the federal agencies, but also coordinates them with the research and monitoring activities of the private sector, state and local governments, and fosters cooperation with the international community.
