Coal-slurry pipelines have been proposed as a means to meet increasing requirements for coal transportation. Issues associated with the use of coal-slurry pipelines are analyzed in this report. The major topics discussed are: eminent domain for coal-slurry pipelines; water availability, both legal and physical, for coal slurry; and environmental impacts of construction and operation of coal-slurry pipelines. Currently proposed coal-slurry pipelines are described and examined in light of these issues.
