The Phase Zero portion of the Environmental Analysis consists of subtasks for seasonal and non-seasonal data collection and reporting, EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) liaison, and environmental suitability analysis and reporting. This is the Environmental Analysis Status Report which presents data collected in the first two subtasks; EIS liaison activities are reported in the subtask entitled Environmental Suitability. Studies contained herein were undertaken to perform the baseline work necessary to evaluate the environmental impact of a proposed coal conversion facility using the Solvent Refined Coal (SRC-II) process. The site, located in the Cass District of Monongalia County, West Virginia, was selected for detailed study from among several sites considered during early planning. Data presented encompass three sampling periods which represent about 70 percent of the baseline program. Site specific baseline studies and literature searches began in July 1978. Final field sampling for the planned 12 month program is scheduled for the summer of 1979. Stearns-Roger scientific staff has performed baseline field work with the exception of subcontract work awarded for daily operation of the meteorology and air quality system, infiltration and geotechnical studies, socioeconomic studies, and the archaeology and historical survey. Various laboratory analyses were performed on air, water, sediments, soils, and aquatic organisms using standard and approved laboratory methods.
