A major goal of the DOE program to develop synthetic fuel processes is to reduce undesirable environmental, health, safety, and socioeconomic (EHS and S) effects of the processes. To meet this goal for the SRC-II demonstration plant, a number of activities have been proposed. This report identifies those activities that have been presented in the more formal documents generated during the program. They represent the DOE commitments to minimize, measure, and evaluate EHS and S effects. It was necessary, in most cases, to abstract from the formal documents listing the statements that are pertinent to EHS and S concerns. There does not appear to be a central document containing a focused program in which these commitments are addressed in a logical sequence. There appears to be no single organization for EHS and S activities in the SRC-II program. The coordination of EHS and S efforts under a single authority chartered as part of the program is recommended. If environmental, health, safety, and socioeconomic activities under the SRC-II demonstration program are dispersed among several organizations, there is danger of overlap of efforts, imbalance of funding, and possible oversight of major concerns that should be addressed in this program. The final section of this report lists seven activities that appear needed within such a program but have not been addressed in the documents studied.
