Narrative:
Emergency due to faulty pressurization system. We had maintenance on our aircraft prior to gate departure on our right pack. It was placarded prior to leaving the gate. Just as we rotated on takeoff, we experienced a loud noise that at first I thought was a nose tire failure. Then I got a call from the flight attendant telling me they heard the noise and were getting smoke and fumes in the cabin. I told the first officer to turn off the left pack and the noise stopped, followed by the cabin clearing. I declared an emergency, got vectors to runway 31R, made an uneventful landing, and after having the fire chief check the exterior of the aircraft, returned to the gate and deplaned the passenger. I put an entry in the logbook and noted the pack problem and that it was not an overweight landing.
