The final assemblage of environmental baseline data in this report includes pertinent information on the Crow Reservation in the following major areas: climatology and air quality, surface water and groundwater quantities and quality; physiography and land use; soils and vegetation; wildlife resources; geology; seismology; and cultural resources (archaeology). The foregoing environmental baseline information provided the natural background for the subsequent assessment of potentially adverse environmental impacts at Sites 1 and 23 based on two selected plant design scenarios for the proposed Crow synfuels plant. Recalling that the most stringent environmental impacts for this feasibility study are imposed by the Class I air quality designation for the adjacent Northern Cheyenne Reservation, emphasis was placed upon a more detailed evaluation of design emission control requirements for mitigating these potential air quality impacts. In addition to confirming compliance with SO/sub 2/ and particulate matter Class I PSD increments, the second phase of the air dispersion modeling analysis investigated the implications of the GEP stack height regulations recently promulgated by EPA in terms of the sensitivity of SO/sub 2/ emission control efficiencies to plant physical stack height. Emphasis was placed upon SO/sub 2/ emission control efficiencies for the boiler plant for several reasons, which are discussed.
