Air-borne nitrogen deposition in the park has produced harmful effects on the park's sensitive natural resources. On June 21, 2007, a draft nitrogen deposition reduction plan was discussed at a public hearing in Estes Park, Colorado. The plan considers nitrogen emission reduction options, deposition and trends, emission sources and source areas, atmospheric transport, and future needs for progress and achievement of park management goals. Four Corners Air Quality Task Force Report Increasing ozone concentrations at Mesa Verde National Park and significant energy development in the four corners area (where the borders of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah meet) led to the formation of a multi-stakeholder task force which focuses on air quality concerns in the region. The NPS has been actively involved in the Task Force since 2005. A draft plan that presents options for air pollution mitigation in the four corners region is now available for viewing. | |
