Abstract :
Production of electricity for promotion of people’s welfares is inevitable.There are about
54000 MW of various power plants in Iran. The type of power plants includes gas, steam, combined, hydro
and a very minute amount of wind mills. The per capita electricity production is about 2200 Kwh. Power
plants can impose adverse environmental impacts during construction and utilization phases. Environmental
monitoring plan (EMP) can continuously examine the effects of power plants on the surrounding environ-
ment. In the present investigation, we have carefully examined the steam power plants of the country to
develop appropriate EMP for the utilization phase. Results of study show that while emissions from stack
need continuous monitoring, the other part of power plants can be monitored on monthly, seasonally or even
yearly basis. Further, preparation of appropriate log sheets to record the results of EMP for the necessary
action plans by authorities can lead to environmental monitoring program.The comparison amongst log sheets
of various years may eventually provide environmental monitoring performance.
