The environmental and socioeconomic aspects of the Dunn-Nokota Methanol Project are the subject of this volume (Volume VII). Section 2 summarizes the results of the environmental feasibility studies for the Dunn-Nokota Methanol Project. (This summary, as well as one for each volume of the Final Report, is contained in Volume I, Executive Summary.) Section 3 describes the scope of the environmental studies including the general methodology employed. Sections 4, 5, and 6 address the existing environment, environmental impacts, and mitigation measures, respectively, of the plant, mine, and utility corridor sites. Relevant aspects of the physical and human environment are discussed in each of these sections. The water supply pipeline and intake are the subject of Section 7, which includes a description of the pipeline, its routing, and the existing environment; an assessment of environmental impacts; and possible mitigation measures. The product transportation systems, including pipeline, rail, and truck, are the subject of Section 8. Alternatives to the Project are addressed in Section 9.
