Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5497954

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 Parachute Creek Shale Oil Program is one of four projects awarded financial assistance. 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. The compliance monitoring data, supplemental, environmental, and industrial-hygiene activities are summarized, and the results of the compliance program audit are also included. The main text is 23 pages; the ambient air monitoring reports, including computer data sheets, comprises the bulk of the report.
