An assessment of the effects on horticultural production of fugitive dust and ash from the proposed Waikato coal-fired power station activities

Abstract

This report assesses the possible impact of dust, ash and chemical pollutant emissions from the proposed powerstation activities, on horticultural production systems surrounding the station complex and to identify suitable methods of controlling the various forms of fugitive dust emission. The study was based largely on a number of previous studies related to dust emissions from a number of other source types; and in consultation with a wide range of technical experts.
