Air Quality
- Air quality impacts are associated with adjustments to hydropower operations at Glen Canyon Dam.
- Identified in the LTEMP scoping are requests to quantify the impacts from any changes in hydroelectric output, including impacts from replacement power resources. Depending on the source of this replacement energy, it could have negative impacts with respect to increased level of nitrous oxides, sulfur oxides, and greenhouse gas emissions.
