P.S. According to the EPA data, (available at: http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations/2006standards/rec/letters/03_WV_EPAMOD.pdf) the largest "uncontrolled sources" contributing to Mon County nonattainment are the Fort Martin, and Hatfields Ferry power plants. Once scrubbers are installed at these two plants, the next largest contributing sources are the power plants in Marshall County (Kammer and Mitchell) ad the vehicle traffic in Monongalia County. Completion of the scruber installation at Fort Martin, Mitchell and and Hatfields Ferry, plus scrubber installation at Kammer, and an overall reduction of "Vehicle Miles Traveled" in Monongalia County should be our primary objectives.

Duane et al,
Thank you for disseminating this info. I would appreciate your lsuggestions about how and where to appropriately respond. Of course, local industries and many politicians will want to call the designation into question whereas we need to further publicize the health hazards associated with the conditons observed.
Thoughts?
Have a happy holiday all, and thank you for all you do on behalf of us all.
Be well and continue to do good.
Bill
