Preliminary flat and rough-terrain air-quality modeling of stack emissions was performed for Baltimore Gas and Electric's (BGandE's) proposed Perryman coal-gasification plant using five years (1982-1986) of representative meteorological data from Baltimore-Washington International airport. Results from the air-quality analysis showed that Perryman will not cause or contribute to any exceedances of the NAAQS (when combined with model-predicted impacts from BGandE's Crane power plant, the Harford County resource-recovery facility, and the Pulaski highway incinerator) or the allowable PSD increments. Results also show that, of the local sources examined, the Crane power plant is a major contributor to the impacts in the area near Perryman.
