BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On

Fossil And Synthetic Fuels

Committee On Energy And Commerce

House Of Representatives



                                               RELEASED

Federal Efforts To Control The Environmental

And Health Effects Of Synthetic Fuels

Development


Because the synthetic fuels industry is still relatively new
with no commercial-scale projects initiated under the
Energy Security Act operating successfully in the United
States, many uncertainties exist concerning the environ-
mental and health effects of industry emissions

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and states
regulate some synthetic fuels emissions through a process
that requires project sponsors to obtain permits to con-
struct and operate their projects However, information on
the environmental and health effects of other potentially
harmful emissions--some of which may be carcinogenic--
is needed from commercial-scale synthetic fuels projects
before EPA will make regulatory decisions on these emis-
sions The Synthetic Fuels Corporation, which provides
financial assistance for synthetic fuels projects, requires
that an environmental monitoring plan be established for
each project. The Corporation will establish Monitoring
Review Committees to review the data generated from
these plans The data could provide the information needed
for determining whether additional research and regula-
tory actions are needed
