Abstract	Wind tunnel simulations and computations with AERMOD were used to investigate the impact of the emission from a proposed gas-turbine heat-recovery plant. The plant will be located near a university and has 80 m hills to the south and east. Seasonal meteorological conditions required by AERMOD were obtained from a regional airport 80 miles from the site. AERMOD was best suited for obtaining 3-hour, 24-hour, and yearly averaged worst conditions and for determining the drainage flow into a small river valley in the general vicinity of the plant. The wind tunnel was well suited for studying the impact of the plume on buildings and the hills surrounding the plant. In general the wind tunnel-measured impact was higher that predicted by AERMOD, but both data sets followed the same trends with higher concentration at sites near the plant when the wind speed increased and as the stack height was shortened. A one-to-one comparison of the predictions was not possible.
