As part of their agreement to lease Colorado Oil Shale Lease Tract C-a, Gulf Oil Corporation and Standard Oil Company (Indiana) were required to design environmental monitoring programs. Programs were implemented in order to determine meteorology and air quality, to describe plant and animal relationships, to characterize soils, and to locate scenic areas and historical artifacts. Revegetation, toxicology, and trace metal studies were added later. Baseline data collected by these programs was utilized to describe the tract's biological and physical aspects, as well as, develop a monitoring program to track changes resulting from oil-shale mining. This report summarizes the progress made by the environmental programs between October 1974 and February 1975.
