This report contains a summary of dustfall, rainfall, crops and soils information obtained from a network of 12 research sites which are located within a 9.6 km radius of an operational natural draft cooling tower at Chalk Point, Md. during the period 4/77 - 4/78. Results from previous years which included two years of preoperational (4/73 - 4/75) and two years of postoperational (5/75 - 3/77) data were compared with the present information. This report also contains summaries of agronomic and chemical data obtained from experiments involving the effects of soil and foliar applied salts on tobacco, corn, and soybeans in plots located at the University of Maryland's Tobacco Experimental Farm.
