OSTI ID:6049153

A study was performed to investigate the behavior and suitability of aquifers as compressed-air energy storage (CAES) sites. The study was jointly sponsored by the Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute. Volume VII forms a part of the final report describing the methodology and results of the study. Volume VII describes the probability, severity, and recommended control measures for the environmental and safety impacts that could result from the construction and operation of a CAES facility. The permits and approvals that would be required and the time estimated for their acquisition are also described.
