Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5497984

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 socio-economic 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. The report contains results of industrial hygiene monitoring, a summary of supplemental sampling activities, and copies of compliance-monitoring reports. Details of an independent audit of the compliance programs are provided also. Approximately 30 pages of text and 519 pages of data sheets or reports are included.
