Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7135128
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 Cool Water Coal Gasification Program is one of the four projects awarded financial assistance. The Program agreed to comply with existing environmental monitoring regulations and to develop an Environmental Monitoring Plan incorporating supplemental monitoring in the areas of water, air, solid waste, worker health and safety, and socio-economic impacts during the period 1984-1989. The plant is designed to process a variety of coals with no liquid discharge, produce non-hazardous solid wastes, and produce very few air emissions. A Monitoring Review Committee (MRC) comprised of participants from DOE, EPA, and California Energy Commission, meets with the Program annually to discuss monitoring activities and review environmental and health monitoring information to determine any significant trends or patterns on pollutant releases. Results of the third annual of fourth annual MRC meeting held April 29, 1987 are presented.
