This Oil Shale Environmental Development Plan (EDP) identifies and examines the environmental, health, safety, and socio-economic issues concerning the development of the ERDA Oil Shale Program, the requirements and actions needed to resolve these issues, and a time-phased action plan for the evaluation and mitigation of environmental impacts. The Plan addresses the oil shale energy system including mining, crushing and sizing, fracturing, in situ and surface retorting, product recovery and upgrading, transportation, and end use. The ERDA environmental activities and projects related to the oil shale technology development program are included in this Plan. Also included is a survey of activities of other Federal agencies which relate to oil shale environmental issues and requirements.
