Dear Environment Sector members:
For years you have told us that EPRI research was often difficult
to find and difficult to use. We’ve listened, and now we’re
acting. We’ve taken several steps in the past month to streamline
our communications and outreach to members and other stakeholders.
Some of these changes are reflected in this issue of Quick
News itself. We have tried to make articles shorter, reflecting
key results or take-home messages. Where we are reporting on a published
document, we now provide only a few lines about the content, plus
a link to the document itself, a report summary, or the abstract
of a paper. This way you can quickly skim to find what you are interested
in and pursue in greater depth those topics where you need more
information.
In addition, our web team has worked hard to improve your ability
to find what you are looking for on EPRI's website, epri.com. Some
of the new capabilities include:
- Slightly modified member home page look and feel
- Search tool enhancements
- Abstract standardization and content improvement
- Improved download experience
These and other actions we’re taking will provide easier
and more efficient access to our research results and help you extract
more value from your EPRI membership at a time where your research
dollars are at a premium. Write us back, and tell us if these improvements
have been valuable to you and what else we might do to improve your
ability to access and use EPRI information.
We also want to inform you about an upcoming workshop on the issue
of coal combustion products management. The workshop will take place
on April 1st and 2nd at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel, 300 West
Station Square Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15219. Senior executives from
all entities owning or operating coal-based generation are invited
to participate, along with one member of their technical staff. For more information, click here.

| Program 42: Air Toxics Health and Risk
Assessment |
| . With EPRI’s direct technical support,
the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) has been considering both voluntary and
binding conventions for controlling mercury transport
between countries and mercury-associated activities within
countries. |

| How Uncertainty About Mercury Emissions
Affects Global Mercury Cycle. Lohman K,
et al. “Sensitivity of the global atmospheric cycle
of mercury to emissions,” Applied Geochemistry
23 (2008) 454–466,
doi:10.1016/j.apgeochem.2007.12.022 (E228051). Simulation
case studies presented in this paper show how estimated
global concentrations of mercury in the air are affected
by current uncertainties about mercury emissions from
specific source categories. Accounting for emission uncertainties
in modeling atmospheric mercury helps researchers make
predictions that are consistent with observed mercury
concentrations. For more information, contact Leonard
Levin, (650) 855-7929, llevin@epri.com.

| Researchers Investigate Mercury in the
Great Salt Lake. Peterson, C., and M.S.
Gustin. “Mercury in the air, water and biota at
the Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA),” Science of
the Total Environment, 405 (2008) 255–268,
doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2008.06.046
(E228055). Researchers tested their hypothesis that atmospheric
chemistry in the Great Salt Lake Basin encourages airborne
mercury to deposit in the lake by using information they
collected about mercury concentrations in air, water,
and brine shrimp to model mercury deposition. Recent Utah
Department of Health mercury advisories cautioning people
who may eat birds that feed on the lake’s brine
shrimp have increased concern about mercury in the Great
Salt Lake. For more information, contact Leonard Levin,
(650) 855-7929, llevin@epri.com. |

| Paper Reviews Asian Contribution to Global
Mercury Cycle. Jaffe, D., and S. Strode.
“Sources,
fate and transport of atmospheric mercury from Asia,”
Environmental Chemistry, 5 (2008) 121–126
(E228052). This paper reviews the sources of mercury coming
from Asia, the environmental fate of these emissions,
and their global transport. Because Asian sources account
for 54% of all anthropogenic mercury emissions to the
atmosphere and 7–20% of all mercury deposition in
North America, understanding Asia’s contribution
to the global mercury cycle is critically important. For
more information, contact Leonard Levin, (650) 855-7929,
llevin@epri.com. |
 |
| Program 91: Assessment Tools for Ozone,
Particulate Matter, Regional Haze and Atmospheric Deposition |
| . Results from two different projects in Program
91 are combining to examine the contribution of various
emissions sources to regional air quality. |
 |
| . The Advanced Modeling System for Transport,
Emissions, Reaction, and Deposition of Atmospheric Material
(AMSTERDAM) is being used to elucidate the impact of electric
utility emissions on interstate transport of pollutants,
particularly when a plume-in-grid model (such as the Advanced
Plume Treatment, APT) is used. |
 |
| Air Quality Area News |
| . The EPRI Advanced Modeling System for Transport,
Emissions, Reaction, and Deposition of Atmospheric Material
(AMSTERDAM) is now available from the University of North
Carolina’s Community Modeling and Analysis System
Center (CMAS). |

| Success Story: PRISM Analysis Provides
Valuable Tool to Help Shape Company’s Climate Change
Strategy. “PRISM
Analysis Benefits Oglethorpe Power Corporation: Shapes
Response to a Carbon-Constrained Future” (1018604).
Oglethorpe Power Corp. (OPC) needed to show its Board
of Directors the significant challenges the company might
face in light of potential climate change policies limiting
GHG emissions, as well as to discuss possible mitigation
options. EPRI quickly developed a company “PRISM”
analysis illustrating the risks OPC may face from evolving
climate policy, as well as GHG mitigation options to help
it address these challenges. For more information, contact
Adam Diamant, (510) 260-9105, adiamant@epri.com.

| . Based
on the expected delay in release of EPA’s proposed
Section 316(b) Phase II Rule, EPRI is issuing interim
reports on the current status of its closed-cycle cooling
research for review by funders. |
 |
| . On Jan. 21, Doug Dixon and Dave Bailey met with
the EPA Phase II Rule development team to discuss the
status of EPRI’s ongoing research and to gather
ideas on information gaps that could be addressed via
EPRI R&D efforts. |
 |
| . Because of the expected
delay in release of the revised draft Phase II Rule, EPRI
is extending the period for its survey of impingement
mortality and entrainment information to March 31. |
 |
| . EPRI
has adjusted its 2009 R&D program to ensure that its
results will provide information to support EPRI’s
comments on the draft Phase II Rule—now expected
to be released no earlier than summer 2009—and to
provide members and the public with information to support
future compliance efforts. |
 |
| . EPRI’s Doug Dixon,
working with a colleague from the Ohio River Valley Sanitation
