A description and results of ESC's participation in the Chalk Point Cooling Tower Project Dye Tracer Experiment is presented together with reduced data. Measurements were conducted during two data acquisition periods on the afternoon and evening of June 16, 1977, at PEPCO's Chalk Point Generating Station. Data were acquired in four major areas: (1) Unit Number 3 Cooling Tower Emission Characterization; (2) Meteorological Tower Data; (3) Ground-Level Measurements; (4) Plume Photography. In addition, Unit Number 3 power generation data for the test period are included as summarized from PEPCO's log and are given in Section E of each Appendix. The measurements were performed successfully without major problems. Results of the measurements are compared with the results of the CPCTP Summer Seasonal Test conducted in June 1976.
