Image 1 Image 2   Site Coordinates and Elevation: Latitude: 32.29931° North Longitude: 64.76509° West Elevation: 64.0 Meters Site Description: The Prospect site is centrally located atop a water catchment at the Ministry of Works, Water Works depot at Headquarters Hill Prospect. This site is at one of the highest points on the island, approximately 65 m above sea level, and is unobstructed in all directions. The site is 1 km due south of the Tynes Bay Waste Incinerator, and was predicted by both wind tunnel and computer modeling as being the area to experience the highest ground level concentration of the stack emissions. Additionally, being located at a topographical high point, Prospect is an ideal site for monitoring pollutant emissions island-wide.
