Cool Water Coal Gasification Program: Monitoring Review Committee meeting report, Washington, D. C. , July 12, 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5976491
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 Cool Water Coal Gasification Program is one of the four projects awarded financial assistance. The program agreed to comply with existing environmental monitoring in the areas of water, air, solid waste, worker health and safety, and socioeconomic impacts during the period 1984-1989. As the first commercial-scale integrated gasification combined-cycle plant for generating energy from coal, the plant is designed to process a variety of coals with no liquid discharge, produce non-hazardous solid wastes, and produce very few air emissions. Monitoring data are to provide an information base for evaluating plant operations and for establishing information on environmental uncertainties associated with replication of synthetic-fuels facilities. A Monitoring Review Committee (MRC) comprised of participants from DOE, EPA, and the California Energy Commission, meets with the Program annually to discuss monitoring activities and review environmental and health monitoring information to determine any significant trends or patterns on pollutants releases. Results of the annual MRC meeting held July 12, 1988 in Washington, DC are presented.
