Provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 under which thermal pollution abatement requirements are determined are discussed in detail. The impact on adjacent land use of the air quality, weather modification, noise, water use, and esthetic consequences of siting thermal facilities are evaluated. Consideration of possible alternate, more attractive uses of a potential thermal site is treated. Alteration of siting impact by profitable use of the rejected heat and by the simultaneous use of the site itself for other purposes is considered. The regulation of power plant siting by states is discussed briefly.
