Summary
On June 23, 1981, the Alabama Water Improvement Commission (AWIC) approved a Preoperational Aquatic Monitoring Plan for the proposed Murphy Hill Coal Gasification Project. As approved, preoperational studies were to be carried out during two years prior to operation of the plant. Results of the first year's studies are contained in this report. The purpose of preoperational studies is to establish an aquatic baseline (fisheries, limnology, water quality) for subsequent operational evaluation of aquatic impacts. When operational studies are completed, results of preoperational studies allow public and regulatory evaluation of project impacts, and simultaneously protect the project from liability for existing aquatic conditions. Preoperational investigations were designed to describe the aquatic ecosystem within the zone of potential plant influence and at appropriate control stations upstream, establishing a baseline for subsequent (operational) evaluation of both avoidance by mobile organisms as well as direct effects to less mobile organisms and water quality. In addition, this report includes evaluations of trends, causative factors, and data variability.
