Abstract: We analyze a variant of a receptor-oriented acid deposition control strategy: selective summer substitution of natural gas in power plants that contribute most of the acid deposition in the ecologically sensitive Northeast. Recently, several proposals have been advanced that move away from broad-based reduction of acid rain precursor emissions toward more efficient policies that recognize the spatial relationship between emission sources and the areas sensitive to the acid deposition caused by these emissions. This paper proposes that acid rain policy should step beyond the spatial relationship toward a recognition of the temporal relationship between emissions and depositions namely, that there are significant seasonal variations in deposition rat despite a relatively constant rate of emissions. Just as it is more efficient to exert greater control of emissions from sources that are relatively close to sensitive areas, it is also more efficient to impose greater control of emissions at times when the deposition rates are higher.
