Environmental Development Plan (EDP). Oil supply. FY 1977
Environmental Development Plans (EDPs) are the basic ERDA management documents for the planning, budgeting, managing, and review of the broad environmental implications of each energy technology alternative in accordance with ERDA Immediate Action Directive (IAD) No. 0500-4, dated December 14, 1976. EDPs are designed to provide the framework for: incorporating environmental considerations into agency planning processes at the earliest stages; resolving environmental issues concurrently with energy technology development; assuring that environmental issues are competitive with technological, economic, and institutional issues in decision-making; and documentation of compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This Oil Supply EDP briefly describes the petroleum technology. The environmental, health, and safety issues and the environmental activities needed to resolve these issues are identified. An action plan for the evaluation and mitigation of environmental impacts, as well as a schedule for review and update of NEPA documents, are presented. The coordination and management strategy for conducting the environmental research program is discussed. This is the first Oil Supply EDP and it will be updated annually to take into account the progress of the technologies toward commercialization, the environmental work accomplished by ERDA and other agencies, the resolution of outstanding environmental issues concerning the technologies, and identification of decision points which require compliance with NEPA.
