Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5494700

The Energy Security Act of 1980 established a program to provide financial assistance to private industry in the construction and operation of commercial-scale synthetic fuels plants. The Parachute Creek Shale Oil Program is one of four projects awarded financial assistance. The support agreement included development of an Environmental Monitoring Plan, incorporating existing compliance monitoring and supplemental monitoring on water, air, solid waste, worker health and safety, and socioeconomic impacts during the period 1986-1993. Phase I of the project is to produce 10,000 barrels per day of syncrude from oil shale, using the Unishale B process. Ten pages of text describe ten compliance reports, supplemental sampling at eight sites, and industrial hygiene monitoring results. The remaining pages contain detailed data sheets for ambient air and meteorological monitoring.
