prepared by the Federal Water Supply and Pollution Control Administra- 

 tion (1969) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (1971). Basic 

 hydrographic studies of the Sound were conducted by Riley and Conover 

 (1956) , and Riley (1956 and 1959) . Reports were compiled on the move- 

 ment and quality of Long Island Sound waters (Hardy and Weyl, 1970; 

 Hardy, 1972a and b) , distribution of dissolved oxygen in Long Island 

 Sound (Hardy and Weyl, 1971), sources and movements of water in the 

 Sound (Long Island Sound Regional Study, 1973 and 1975) , physical ocean- 

 ography and water quality of western Long Island Sound (Jay and Bowman, 

 1975) , gravitational circulation in Long Island Sound (Wilson, 1976) , 

 and environmental baseline studies in the Sound from 1972 to 1975 by the 

 National Marine Fisheries Service (Reid, Frame and Drexler, 1976) . A 

 temperature prediction model for Long Island Sound was prepared by Stone 

 and Webster (1972). More recently. Bowman has prepared a pollution 

 prediction model of Long Island Sound (1976) and examined nutrient 

 distribution and transport in the Sound (1977) . Garvine and Monk have 

 studied the frontal structure of the Connecticut River plume (1974) , and 

 Gordon (1973) and Bokuniewicz (1974, 1975 and 1976) have published a 

 number of reports on sedimentation and dredging activities in Long 

 Island Sound. 



EnviTormental Studies at Other Power Plant Sites 



In addition, certain environmental data from various other 

 operating power plants on Long Island Sound are available for purposes 

 of comparison with possible impacts at New Haven Harbor Station. These 

 include: thermal surveys and hydrographic studies at Bridgeport, Con- 

 necticut (NAI, 1973b); biological studies at Stamford, Connecticut (NAI, 

 1974d) ; thermal plume studies at Middletown, Montville, Norwalk and 

 Devon Stations (Lawler, Matusky and Skelly Engineers, 1975a, b and c; 

 1976); hydrographic studies at Millstone Nuclear Station (Battelle, 

 1977) ; biological and hydrographic studies of thermal pollution at 

 Northport, New York (SUNY Marine Sciences Research Center, 1970; Weyl, 

 1971) ; and baseline studies at Shoreham Station, New York (New York Ocean
