Water for the proposed Demonstration Coal Conversion Plant will be taken from the Mississippi River. The water intake structure will be located approximately 7 miles downstream of Chester, Illinois. The estimated water withdrawal rate will be approximately 2.34 cubic feet per second (CFS) which represents about 0.0013% of the annual average river flow. Since the available water flow rate is so much larger than the water withdrawal rate for the proposed Plant, no seasonal or long term hydrological effects are anticipated. Since local surface water and ground water resouces will not be used, there will be no impact to them. In the vicinity of the site, surface waters have low flow rates and often no flow conditions occur. Water quality is generally poor due to many existing point source discharges and surface runoff quality. The proposed Demonstration Plant is designed for zero discharge. Wastes emanating from the gasification process, the gas purification system, cooling facilities, drainage from areas potentially contaminated with coal or process residuals and sanitary wastes will be treated onsite and the water recycled within the plant. Thus there will be no impact on the water quality of surface waters of the groundwater regime.
