Abstract
Existing air quality conditions in portions of Wyoming, Montana, and Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota are described along with potential impacts of alternative levels of coal extraction, export from the region and conversion in hydroelectric power and synthetic natural gas plants within the region. The existing monitoring system and data collected are described. Assessment of the control options or technologies available to the utility industry are presented and alternative uses of coal are outlined. Discussions of the type and magnitude of pollutants, including those expected to be released are presented. In addition, various legal constraints that may limit the degree of coal conversion are discussed, and areas of critical research needs are listed.
