Pollution trail in sky west of I-79
Pollution trail seen beyond local power plant steam plumes
NOTE PHOTOS: Atmospheric Pollution Trail From Clarksburg to Morgantown
from Betsy Lawson, Morgantown, WVSaturday morning while driving north on I-79, a long, uninterrupted ribbon of brown, purple, grey pollution was seen near the western horizon. This started in the vicinity of the Harrison Power plant just north of Clarksburg and stretched at least as far as Morgantown.
We’ve never seen a cloud formation that looked anything like it. The second photo looks toward the Fort Martin and Longview power plants from University Town Center. The pollution trail still appears low on the western horizon from I-79. So the length of this trail is at least 35 miles, perhaps much more?
This pollution trail was reported to the WV-DEP complaint desk ~

Hello again Betsy,
I spoke with James Lefik with Mon Power this afternoon a little after 2:00 PM. Mr. Lefik works in the environmental department for First Energy, the parent of Mon Power. I had e-mailed Mr. Lefik upon receipt of your complaint.
He let me know that Unit 2 of the Harrison station was in start-up mode this past Sunday morning (it began to start-up around 6:30 on Saturday evening).
Mr. Lefik said there were some operational issues (primarily due to the cold weather at the time), and the unit was only able to achieve around 200 mW output. This is much less than the rate at which the unit normally runs. The other two units, Unit 1 and Unit 3, were operating normally. He is confident that the startup is the cause of what you saw Sunday morning. Mr. Lefik said the stack appears normal now.
I will go to Haywood tomorrow to have a look also. I hope that this is helpful. If you would like to contact me, you can reply to this e-mail or call me.
Sincerely, Karl Dettinger, WV-DEP
