Coal Liquefaction Demonstration Plant near Morgantown, WV. Water assessment report. [Alcohol fuel production]
This report is the result of an assessment of water requirements and water supply availability for proposed coal liquefaction demonstration and commercial projects at Fort Martin, near Morgantown, West Virginia. Water consumption figures in this assessment of the proposed SCR-II project are 50% greater than those in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement because of design modifications. Under most flow conditions, the Monongahela River has enough water to support the combined effect of the SRC-II demonstration project and the increased consumption by other sectors of the economy through 1990 without reduction to stream flow below that projected for navigational requirements and to meet water quality standards. However this is not the case with the SRC-II Commercial Project. Further action is needed. Unless substantive action is taken during critical flow periods, projected river flow under present basin conditions will not be sufficient to meet dissolved oxygen standard and the projected navigation flow requirements. A water management program needs to be developed. (DMC)
