This report presents analyses in all of the broad environmental areas identified in the Development Monitoring Program for data collected since November 1976. Because there is always a data-lag and reduction problem, analyses for some studies are based on data only through September 1978. The Interim Monitoring and Development Monitoring Programs have been reduced and changed from the Environmental Baseline Monitoring Program in many areas. Therefore, emphasis is now placed on key indicators of environmental quality and/or change which are evaluated in this report. The purpose of this report is to fulfill the requirement of the lease to provide the Area Oil Shale Supervisor's Office with an annual report of environmental analyses. Environmental monitoring and analyses are continuing on Oil Shale Tract C-b. Development activities commenced within the past year have resulted in increased activity on the Tract in the form of off-road vehicular use, facility construction, shaft sinking, and traffic into and out of the area. All activity has been conducted within strict adherence to environmental, permit, and lease regulations. Environmental impacts, where they exist, have been confined to the immediate area and within limits defined in the Detailed Development Plan.
