Design, construction, operation and evaluation of a prototype culm combustion boiler/heater unit: site evaluation; socio-economic impact
It has been proposed to construct a fluidized bed culm combustion boiler/heater unit in the Shamokin, Pennsylvania area. The facility would burn culm from a nearby coal mine and provide steam to an industrial user. The environmental setting of the area prior to development is described, including climatology, air quality, ecology, hydrology, wastes, noise, land use, socioeconomics, and geology and subsurface conditions. The environmental impacts of the proposed action are then evaluated as related to air quality, ecology, hydrology, wastes, noise, and socioeconomics. Measures for mitigating impacts on air quality, wastes, and noise are briefly described, and possible environmental effects that cannot be avoided are briefly enumerated. (LEW)
