Preliminary investigation and feasibility study of environmental impact of energy resource development in the Denver Basin

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6893903
;
The preliminary phase of the Denver Basin project is summarized in this report. There is a significant potential for further development of coal, lignite, uranium, petroleum, and natural gas in this area. If any or all of these energy resources are developed, the resulting environmental impact could have a profound effect on both the urban and agricultural environments. Furthermore, past urbanization has caused the loss of extractable energy resources.
