General Electric Co.-TEMPO is studying the design and implementation of ground water quality monitoring programs for the EPA. The study focuses on the proposed underground mine and surface retorting operation for the Federal Prototype Oil Shale Leases U-a and U-b. A preliminary ranking of potential pollution sources and causes and potential pollutants has been developed, based on the following criteria: relative volume, persistence, toxicity, and concentration of wastes; relative mobility; and relative harm to water use. Since numerous types of waste products will be deposited in the spent shale disposal pile (e.g., retort waters and sulfur by-products), it would be advantageous for environmental monitoring and control to be able to detect differentially the mobility of pollutants from these various waste streams. Initial results of the study indicate some potential for differential detection.
