The Report 



We can say no more of the editorial review of Daniel Merriman, 

 Professor emeritus of Yale University, and David Damer, Environmental 

 Engineer for UI than that they offered countless suggestions on the 

 papers and that we found them constructive to the point that we made 

 adjustments in response to nearly all of them. Professor Merriman' s 

 perspectives on the presentation of scientific data, his understanding 

 of power plant impacts, and his skill as an editor were invaluable. Mr. 

 Darner's clarity of perspective and demand for clarity in writing have 

 hopefully guided us to produce a report that can be read and understood 

 by the non-ecologist as well as the discipline specialist. 



Many whose names appear as authors of various papers contributed 

 substantially more to the total report than in writing the individual 

 sections. Particularly intensive and extensive were efforts by David 

 Pease, Paul Ferreira and Drew Harvell, all of NAT. Unheralded, criti- 

 cally needed assistance on data manipulation and anlysis came from NAI 

 scientific programmer, Richard Ploss and statistician, Ronna LaPenn. 

 Jon Witman assisted in preliminary analysis of benthic data. 



Finally, we commend for an excellent job in the face of numerous 

 revisions (we won't say how many) and a heavy work load of technical 

 typing - Jane Bieniek, Judith Eaton and Elissa Cusumano, and for 

 publications work, Fred Silsby and Ann Lemay . John Fay, head of NAI's 

 publications , proofed all final drafts in addition to supervising the 

 publication effort. Theresa Carpentieri of UI guided final publications 

 efforts .
