Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6173295

The Energy Security Act of 1980 established a program to provide financial assistance to private industry in the construction and operation of commercial-scale synthetic-fuels plants. The Parachute Creek Shale Oil Program is one of four projects awarded financial assistance. The support agreement included development of an Environmental Monitoring Plan, incorporating existing compliance monitoring and supplemental monitoring on water, air, solid waste, worker health and safety, and socio-economic impacts during the period 1986-1993. Phase I of this project is to produce 10,000 barrels per day of syncrude from oil shale, using the Unishale B process. During the fourth quarter, detailed analytical procedures and computer-data-management software were developed, sampling analytical and data-management standards were completed, and supplemental quality assurance and control programs were finalized. All of these activities are summarized in the report.
