ATSDR - Health Consultation - Merrimack Station Power Plant, Bow, Merrimack County, New Hampshire (9772 words)
It is on the west bank of the Merrimack River, across from Suncook Village, a residential area that straddles the towns of Pembroke and Allenstown (Figure 1).
Merrimack Station emissions may have short-term air quality impacts in all compass directions around the site, with the extent of these impacts determined by how often a location was downwind from the facility.
