Hanschel, D B; Stemmle, J T

The manual is intended as a technical aid to applicants, the U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC), and environmental reviewers in developing and reviewing plans covering source and ambient monitoring around coal-, oil shale-, and tar sand-based synfuels plants, consistent with the Energy Security Act. The Act, which established the SFC, specifies that applicants for SFC financial assistance must develop an acceptable plan for environmental monitoring of the construction and operation of the proposed synthetic fuels facilities, following consultation with the EPA and other agencies. The manual does not provide rigorous specifications for an acceptable monitoring plan. Rather, it describes approaches to consider and issues to address in developing a monitoring plan (or an outline of a plan). The exact content of the plan or outline for a specific facility would depend on conditions associated with that plant.
