Assessing acid deposition: Advances in the state of science
NAPAP has a long history of conducting research related to acid deposition. Throughout the 1980s NAPAP supported a large number of research projects that confirmed the link between SO2 and NOx emissions and acidic lakes and streams hundreds of miles away. Recent research is confirming the tight link between emissions of SO2 and the amount of several different forms of sulfur in the atmosphere and

Results of the acid rain program: Status and trends of emissions and environmental impacts (1990–2002)
Both SO2 and NOx emissions from power generation sources have significantly declined under Title IV. In 2002, SO2 emissions from Title IV-affected sources totaled 10.2 million tons and NOx emissions from all Title IV-affected sources totaled 4.5 million tons, down 35% and 33% respectively from 1990 levels. Sources in states with the highest emissions continue to reduce their emissions the most, an

Water-quality assessment of Lake Houston near Houston, Texas, 2000-2004
Lake Houston is a major source of public water supply and recreational resource for the Houston metropolitan area, Texas. Water-quality issues of potential concern for the lake have included nutrient enrichment (orthophosphorus, total phosphorus, nitrite plus nitrate) and aquatic life use (dissolved oxygen). The , in cooperation with the City of Houston, collected water samples from three sites in

Effects of removing Good Hope Mill Dam on selected physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of Conodoguinet Creek, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
The implications of dam removal on channel characteris-tics, water quality, benthic invertebrates, and fish are not well understood because of the small number of removals that have been studied. Comprehensive studies that document the effects of dam removal are just beginning to be published, but most research has focused on larger dams or on the response of a sin-gle variable (such as benthic in

Simulation of conservative-constituent transport in the Red River of the North Basin, North Dakota and Minnesota, 2003-04
Population growth along with possible future droughts in the Red River of the North (Red River) Basin will create an increasing need for reliable water supplies. Therefore, as a result of the Dakota Water Resources Act of 2000, the Bureau of Reclamation identified eight water-supply alternatives (including a no-action alternative) to meet future water needs in the basin. Because of concerns about

Two-dimensional resistivity investigation of the North Cavalcade Street site, Houston, Texas, August 2003
The North Cavalcade Street site was first developed for wood treating in 1946. By 1955, pentachlorophenol wood preservation services and other support facilities, such as creosote ponds, pentachlorophenol and creosote storage structures, various tanks, lumber sheds, a treatment facility, and other buildings had been added. In 1961, the property was closed. To protect public health and welfare and
