Analysis of baseline data from federally leased oil shale tracts in Colorado and Utah
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5009909
Data acquired by lessees of three federally leased oil shale tracts in Colorado and Utah were analyzed in an effort to develop additional information which would be useful in guiding development of those extensive resources. Comparative data within each tract and among the three tracts for ozone, total suspended particulate, and a number of meteorological variables are presented. Comments are provided concerning the uneven quality of the data. The data are utilized to show that the wide variability of ozone concentration observed at the several sites on the three tracts can be attributed principally to the daily maximum mixed layer depth of the region and to the depth and intensity of the nocturnal inversion locally. Criticism is made that the baseline programs for the three tracts were pursued independently. Finally, a research program to provide new information on short and long range transport, dispersion, and removal processes in complex terrain is urged.
