The report characterizes the potential environmental effects of the multimedia waste streams from the operation of a standard-size Solvent Refined Coal (SRC-I and SRC-II) liquefaction facility utilizing 28,123 Mg of Illinois No. 6 coal per day. The report gives: (1) a more detailed evaluation of the SRC pollutants characterized in a report, Standards of Practice Manual for the SRC Liquefaction Process; (2) an estimate of the potentially adverse effects of pollutant stressors emanating from a hypothetical SRC facility on the Wabash River, White County, Illinois; and (3) substantial background information in a form usable for an Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) on SRC technology. Regulatory standards and guidelines are discussed relative to the emerging synthetic fuels technology. Research needs are identified in terms of SRC technology, monitoring, and environmental sciences. Study results indicate concern for emissions from auxiliary units (e.g., cooling towers, boilers, sulfur recovery), fugitive process discharges, solid wastes, leachate contamination of water, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emissions, hazardous wastes, water treatment effectiveness, interactions within and among media, etc. Volume 2 of the report includes supporting appendices.
