Air-quality permit application for a proposed coal-gasification plant, Converse County, Wyoming. Final technical report, November 1980-May 1982. [Proposed WyCoalGas project, Converse County, Wyoming; baseline air quality monitoring]

Technical Report · Fri Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:6824661

This Appendix summarizes the meteorological and air quality data collected during the first quarter of monitoring (December 12, 1980 through March 11, 1981) at the proposed WyCoalGas coal gasification project site near Douglas, Wyoming. Details concerning monitor operation, siting, and data collection are provided in earlier WyCoalGas, Inc., submittals to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) (November 17, 1980 and February 10, 1981). Quarterly precision and accuracy results are reported, as well as brief discussions of periods of maximum concentrations for each pollutant. Audit results were prepared from a performance audit conducted on February 3-8, 1981. The Wyoming DEQ system audit results are also discussed. Measurements of standard deviation of horizontal wind direction have been processed and summarized to provide a joint frequency distribution of wind speed, direction, and stability classes (A through F) for the two sensor levels. These distributions are presented in Appendices A-1.1-1 and A-1.1-2, respectively. Visibility data have been summarized to provide a cumulative frequency distribution and are presented in Appendix A-1.2. Also provided are brief discussions of the ambient visibility.
