The major part of Appendix N, Vol. 3, includes a discussion of the local socio-economic impacts that would result from the construction of the proposed coal gasification plant. Preoperational monitoring of air and water quality and of the baseline ecology at the proposed site are included. This is followed by a consideration of the unavoidable adverse impacts (due to the construction, effects on land use and recreation, socio-economic impacts, environmental impacts of the plant (emissions of SO/sub 2/, NO/sub 2/, particles, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds), effects on hydrology, on water quality, and on ecosystems). The volume concludes with a short chapter on alternative sites, alternative water sources, alternative coal transport and a few possible process variations. (LTN)
