March 2011Page iiAnalysis of Emissions from Power Plants and Other Large Combustion SourcesAbout MANE-VU and MARAMAThe Mid-Atlantic Regional Air Management Association, Inc. (MARAMA) prepared this reportfor members of the the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Visibility Union (MANE-VU). MARAMA is avoluntary, non-profit association of ten state and local air pollution control agencies. MANE-VUwas formed by the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states, tribes, and federal agencies tocoordinate regional haze planning activities for the region. MANE-VU provides technicalassessments and assistance to its members, evaluates linkages to other regional air pollutionissues, provides a forum for discussion, and encourages coordinated actions. MANE-VU alsofacilitates coordination with other regions. MARAMA's mission is to strengthen the skills andcapabilities of member agencies and to help them work together to prevent and reduce airpollution in the Mid-Atlantic Region. This technical report was prepared for use by the MANE-VU States and does not necessarily represent the position of the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency, MARAMA, MANE-VU, or OTC.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by funds provided to MARAMA by the Ozone Transport Commission(OTC) through a memorandum of agreement. OTC's funding was provided by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement XA 97318101.The principal authors of this report were Edward Sabo of MACTEC Engineering and Consulting,Inc. and Gregory Stella of Alpine Geophysics, LLC. Project development, management, andfinal editorial review were provided by Susan S.G. Wierman, Executive Director, Julie McDill,Senior Engineer, and Patrick Davis, Air Quality Planner, all of MARAMA. The final draft ofthis report was submitted October 21, 2010 under MACTEC Project No. 3583-09-6694.07.Final editorial changes were made by MARAMA.The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and the OTC work group on highelectricity demand days initiated work on the issues addressed in this report. Thanks toreviewers from MANE-VU states, EPA, and the private sector who provided comments on draftsof this report.
