43. Colstrip, Montana: The Fiscal Effects of Recent Coal Development and an Evaluation of the Community's Ability to Handle Further Expansion.

Author

Department of the Interior, Washington, DC., Johnson, Maxine C., and White, Randle V.

Abstract

Much of the coal development in eastern Montana has occured in or is proposed for sparsely settled Rosebud County, which includes the Colstrip elementary and high school districts. Between fiscal 1966 and 1975, the population growth resulting from coal activities has brought about a 68% real increase in Rosebud County expenditures. Increase in Colstrip elementary and high school district expenditures is expected to amount to 395% and 177% respectively from fiscal 1966 to 1976. The taxable valuation of county property has also skyrocketed 132% during this period. Nevertheless, some hardships have occurred; schools have sometimes been overcrowded and residents have paid high total property tax mill levies. Although some additional problems may occur if the proposed Colstrip III and IV plants are constructed, expectations are that prosperity is just around the corner for both the county and the school districts. This prediction is made because the tax base will be large enough to keep mill levies low, and 1975 changes in state law allow a portion of the Coal Mines License Tax revenue to be returned directly to the counties from which the coal was mined. This analysis is concerned with the fiscal effects on the school districts and county since coal development began in 1966, with the present Montana tax system and how it affects local governments, and with the probable fiscal impact of the construction of two more coal-fired electrical generating plants.

45. Slope distribution of a rough surface measured by transmission scattering and polarization

Author

Nee, Soe-Mie F., Dewees, Randle V., Nee, Tsu-Wei, Johnson, Linda F., and Moran, Mark B.

Abstract

Transmission scattering from medium to air was used to measure the slope distribution of the rough plane surface of a transparent glass hemisphere. A facet model successfully explained the measured results of refraction, scattering, and polarization: Transmission scattering existed for incident angles greater than the critical angle, all measured curves for the normalized scattered intensity versus the facet slope angle for different detection directions overlapped, and the measured polarization of scattering was approximately constant for [is greater than] 99% of the facets. The slope distribution obtained by transmission scattering agrees with those of the surface profiles in the valid range of the profiler and can represent the slope distribution of the rough surface.

46. Measurement of low-altitude infrared propagation

Author

Zeisse, Carl R., Nener, Brett D., and Dewees, Randle V.

Abstract

Infrared propagation at low altitudes is determined by extinction that is due to molecules and aerosol particles and ray bending by refraction, three effects that control the mean value of the signal. Interference causes the signal to fluctuate, or scintillate, about the mean value. We discuss the design, calibration, and limitations of a field instrument for measuring optical propagation inside the midwave and long-wave infrared atmospheric windows. The instrument, which is accurate to [+ or -] 10%, has been used to investigate aerosol, refractive, and scintillation phenomena in the marine boundary layer.
