Levy, Jr, J A

This report has been written to serve as a resource document in developing an acid deposition work plan for the State of Texas. It provides a summary of the available technical information concerning critical aspects of the acid deposition question as they relate specifically to Texas. Data and information presented in this report were used to qualitatively evaluate acid deposition in Texas and to place the issue into its proper perspective relative to other areas of the United States. The actual acid deposition workplan is contained in a separate document entitled Plan to Evaluate Acid Deposition Issues in the State of Texas. The available body of knowledge suggests that acid deposition is not a problem of immediate concern throughout most of Texas. The potential for a problem in the future may exist, however, in parts of east Texas where acid precipitation has been monitored and where the most sensitivity to potential acid deposition effects are found. 2 figures, 15 tables.
