expand generating capacity
at the Chalk Point power
plant To eliminate further
thermal pollution of the
river, PEPCO installed
natural-draft cooling towers,
which dissipate generated
beat as steam.
The two Chalk Point
cooling towers each have a
capacity for circulating
250,000 gallons of water per
minute. This study concerns
only cooling tower No. 3.

Unit 4 is not scheduled to
begin operation until 1982.
Saline aerosol droplets are
created when the towers are
in operation. Inside each
tower, salt concentration of
the brackish water increases
two-fold. This is a result of
stream evaporation from the
circulating water.
Because of the possible
environmental impact from
salt deposition on area
vegetation, the Maryland

contracted with the Water

to define standards for safe
power plant operation. The
aim was to prevent salt
damage to nearby farm
crops and native vegetation.
The Power Plant Siting
Program is administered by
the Energy and Coastal Zone
Administration of the state
Department of Natural
Resources. It also coor
dinates with the state

When PEPCO installed the
first natural-draft cooling
tower, there was little in
formation available con
cerning the effects of salt
drift from brackish-water
cooling towers on
agricultural and native plant
species.
The Maryland research
workers developed 12 per-
manent observation points,
• encompassing north, east,
south and west sites -
located one, three and six
miles away from the Chalk
Point power plant.
Each site measured 0.4
acre and contained three
plot replications of tobacco,
soybeans and com. In ad
dition, Dr. Mulchi and two
fellow agronomy depart
ment faculty members
studied areas of undistrubed
soil. University of Maryland
botanists looked at the
natural vegetation.
Three dust collectors
measured airborne salts and
other particle accumulation
at each research site. Water
accumulated in the rain
gauge at each location was
analyzed for salinity content
and pH (a measure of
acidity).
