Title: Unocal Parachute Creek Shale Oil Project. Monitoring Review Committee meeting report, August 15, 1989

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6974658

The Energy Security Act of 1980 established a program to provide financial assistance to private industry in the construction and operation of commercial-scale synthetic-fuels plants. The support agreement included development of an Environmental Monitoring Plan, incorporating existing compliance monitoring and supplemental monitoring on water, air, solid waste, worker health and safety, and socio-economic impacts during the period 1986-1993. Phase I of the project is to produce 10,000 barrels per day of syncrude from oil shale, using the Unishale B process. Results of supplemental monitoring at 18 sites, including particulates, gases, liquids and solids, are discussed by representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Department of Treasury.
