The Federal Non-nuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974, as amended, provides that the U.S. Water Resources Council (WRC) will undertake assessments of water resource requirements and water supply availability for any non-nuclear energy technology. Acting under the provisions of Section 13(b) of the Act, the Department of Energy by letter dated April 23, 1980, requested that WRC undertake a water assessment for the Paraho Oil Shale Demonstration Project to be constructed in Uintah County, Utah. The objectives of the study were to develop and analyze relevant information and data which could be used as a basis to document: (1) water requirements for the project, (2) present and future water supply availability, and (3) water resources impacts.
