ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



An effort such as the studies assembled into this report, encom- 

 passing many years and different contracting companies and individuals , 

 obviously required the efforts of many individuals quite aside from 

 those of the various authors. 



We would like to here acknowledge the efforts of those who have 

 contributed most importantly and most recently to the study program and 

 the report. Field and laboratory personnel who participated in the data 

 acquisition process are listed, along with their respective roles, at 

 the end of this section. 



Program Development and Early Years 



The formative years - early program guidance , environmental impact 

 analysis and inclusion of mitigative measures - were largely guided by 

 John Davis of Normandeau Associates, Inc. (NAI) . Certain technical pro- 

 gram elements and overall review and guidance were provided by Gordon A. 

 Riley and Peter J. Wangersky of Dalhousio University, Halifax, Nova 

 Scotia, and Karl Turekian, Robert Gordon, Robert Berner and Donald 

 Rhoads of Yale University . Important ideas and recommendations were 

 contributed by many other concerned individuals and scientists . The 

 major efforts of United Illuminating Co. (UI) project manager Richard 

 Grossi, with the nearly full-time efforts of William Wakefield, project 

 engineer - civil and permits, and their commitment to full consideration 

 of environmental concerns were vital. 



From the last stages of construction, Marcus McCraven, now Vice 

 President-Environmental Engineering, and David Darner, certainly the most 

 biologically perceptive mechanical engineer we know, kept close contact 

 with the program through hard questioning and continued involvement in 

 maintaining an effective and fully responsive environmental program. 



Mr. Wadsworth Owen of the University of Delaware directed 1976 dye 

 and thermal surveys to define the plant's thermal plume. 



Data Acquisition 



Collection and analysis of most of the data utilized in this report 

 was completed by the W. F. Clapp Laboratories of the Battelle Memorial 

 Institute, Duxbury, MA (1971-1975) and by Marine Research, Inc., Falmouth, 

 MA (1975-1977) . Robert Hillman, and later Charles Willingham, were 

 responsible for Battelle' s efforts with a capable Edward C. (Ned) Kelly 

 directly supervising both field and laboratory efforts. 



Alexander Beichek was in charge of the Marine Research, Inc. effort. 

 Specific program data acquisition responsibilities were shared by Richard
