This report describes a program designed to create an environmental data base which will be used to assess the air quality impact of energy development in an eight-state region (Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming). The program was designed to use and augment existing monitoring activities as well as create new monitoring systems. Some of the activities described are an airborne air quality monitoring system, a regional particulate sampling network, a quality assurance program, a visibility monitoring system, an air quality simulation modeling program, and a program to investigate weather modification effects of energy-related pollutants.
