A coal gasification project site checklist should show whether a candidate location can reliably supply and handle water and coal, accommodate storage and transport, manage environmental impacts, and support the controls the chosen process will need. Treat it as an evidence-based screening and design-planning tool—not as a permit determination. The right site is not simply the parcel with the most infrastructure: the project team must substantiate supply, site conditions, and likely approval paths for the specific design and location.
What should a coal gasification site checklist establish?
It should make the case for each candidate site using comparable evidence. At a minimum, that means documenting land control, water supply and management, coal supply and delivery, storage and handling, process and construction emissions, waste capacity, environmental constraints, and the work needed to address existing site conditions. The U.S. Department of Energy’s NETL gasification handbook identifies dependable water, infrastructure, raw-material storage, and waste and water-treatment capacity among site considerations. Federal project-site criteria published by the IRS offer a separate example of evidence categories, including site control, coal and water supply, infrastructure, environmental acceptability, interconnection, approvals, and pre-existing conditions.

Use the checklist in two stages. First, screen out sites with material gaps or constraints that are unlikely to be resolved. Then, for the remaining candidates, assemble enough project-specific evidence to compare engineering implications, environmental effects, schedule, and cost. No universal water quantity, coal specification, emissions limit, or permit path can be inferred from these general references; those depend on the process, location, and current requirements.
How do you screen a candidate site before design advances?
Define the candidate parcels and the project footprint, then map the resources and constraints that could change layout, construction, operations, or approvals. Keep the same screening categories for every candidate so apparent advantages are not based on different levels of investigation.

- Map surroundings and physical conditions. Show nearby populations and sensitive receptors, streams, wetlands, protected or historic areas, topography, and other relevant constraints. Record flood exposure and history, soil and geology information available to the project, and local physical conditions that could affect construction or operations.
- Inventory infrastructure and routes. Identify roads, rail, waterways, utility connections, power, steam, pipelines, and existing industrial infrastructure. For each route, note which incoming materials, products, and wastes it would need to accommodate, along with missing connections or capacity questions.
- Record site legacy and enabling work. Document brownfield conditions, remediation, demolition, road or utility rerouting, and other pre-existing conditions. Describe what is known, what remains uncertain, and the detailed plans and status updates needed to address those conditions. These matters can affect cost and schedule even where a site otherwise appears well connected.
- Compare feasible alternatives consistently. State the criteria used, the evidence behind each comparison, and why alternatives were rejected. Include environmental, social, engineering, and economic tradeoffs rather than presenting only the preferred site’s benefits. EPA’s interim environmental impact assessment guidance for new coal gasification facilities calls for site-specific attention to environmental sensitivities and construction impacts.
Do not treat a map as proof that a resource is usable. A nearby river, rail line, pipeline, or industrial utility is only a potential advantage until supply, access, capacity, rights, condition, and approvals are substantiated for the project.
How should the water-supply review work?
Build a process-specific water balance and compare its requirements with a dependable source, conveyance system, storage, rights, and competing uses. NETL states that “The plant must have access to a dependable water supply of the required quantity.” That requirement is a site-planning principle, not a universal numerical threshold.
Start with the process design basis. Identify water uses such as cooling, washing, steam generation, and feedstock needs where applicable, along with other plant uses. Estimate the quantities and quality each use requires, and document assumptions. Do not transfer a generic water-intensity figure from a different gasifier or project without confirming that its process and operating conditions are comparable.
For each candidate, record:
- Source and reliability: whether water is expected from surface water, groundwater, an existing utility, or another source; the dependable quantity; and any seasonal, drought, or competing-use constraints.
- Quality and treatment: available quality information, any treatment implications, and whether the source is suitable for the intended process uses.
- Access and infrastructure: conveyance route, pipes, pumps, tanks or other storage, and any upgrades required to deliver water to the site.
- Legal and approval status: applicable rights, agreements, and the status of required approvals. A source’s physical proximity does not establish a right to use it.
- Site exposure: surface-water and groundwater resources, flood history, and relevant projections or local physical conditions affecting water infrastructure.
NETL notes the value of existing pipes, pumps, and tanks; EPA’s site-analysis guidance also asks teams to examine the source, quantity, and quality of imported water and to consider water shortage and flooding. Treat those as prompts for site-specific evidence, not proof that a particular source or facility is adequate.

Water supply is only half the review. Map process wastewater, cooling water, stormwater, and runoff pathways separately. For each stream, state whether it is to be treated, reused, discharged, or otherwise managed, and identify the receiving system or destination. Treatment needs can vary with the coal source and operating conditions; EPA’s historical gasification guidance cautions against assuming one treatment process suits every plant. Confirm applicable water rights, discharge permits, stormwater coverage, and limits with the authority responsible for the actual location. The cited guidance does not establish which current requirements apply to an unspecified project.
How do you verify coal supply and transport?
Document the coal source and the logistics that connect it to the gasifier. A plausible supply claim should identify expected duration and reliability, delivery mode, process compatibility, and supporting evidence such as an agreement or equivalent supplier documentation. The IRS’s 2020 project-site criteria provide a federal example that includes coal supply and supporting documentation; they are application criteria, not a universal site permit checklist.
Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errors2Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitches3Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problemsLink the proposed coal to the selected process design. The reviewed sources do not prescribe one acceptance specification or coal assay that applies to all gasifiers. The project team therefore needs a design basis and supplier documentation that demonstrate compatibility for its chosen process; avoid presenting a generic specification as universal.
Map the full material path, not only the route to the site boundary: unloading, transfer, preparation, crushing or sizing, storage, reclaim, and feed systems. Record expected throughput, handling capacity, transport interfaces, and any gaps between delivery and process demand. EPA’s coal-conversion material treats storage, handling, crushing or sizing, and process streams as distinct categories for assessment. This separation helps reveal where a transport bottleneck, transfer point, or preparation step creates a site-layout or environmental-control issue.

For each route, identify the infrastructure that exists, the improvements required, and what evidence supports the assumed reliability and capacity. If a supply route depends on new connections or enabling works, list those as project dependencies rather than counting them as existing site advantages.
What should the storage and handling review cover?
Assess bulk-storage areas as both logistics infrastructure and potential sources of dust and runoff. Record whether facilities are existing or planned, their suitability and permit status, and how material will move through unloading, storage, reclaim, and preparation. NETL identifies permitted or suitable bulk raw-material storage infrastructure as valuable to a site.

EPA’s historical coal-conversion reference describes examples for evaluation, including water sprays and polymer coatings for storage-pile dust, and enclosed handling or crushing equipment vented to baghouses or other particulate controls. These are possible approaches, not universal prescriptions or current permit limits. Engineers and permitting specialists need to assess their suitability for the actual coal, weather, equipment, operations, and applicable current requirements.

How do you plan for emissions and other environmental controls?
Prepare a source-by-source inventory tied to the project’s process flow diagram before settling on a site layout or control concept. Include coal storage and preparation dust, gasifier feed vents, startup, ash removal, and other sources present in the selected design. For each source, record the expected pollutant or stream composition, the proposed control approach, operating assumptions, monitoring and maintenance needs, and the basis for those choices.
Source composition can depend on gasifier type. EPA’s AP-42 Chapter 11.11, Coal Conversion describes hazardous species in some feed-vent streams and discusses possible scrubbing or incineration for certain vents, as well as a flare for startup gas. Those are historical examples to investigate against the design; they do not establish a control requirement or present-day emissions limit for every facility.
Keep construction impacts distinct from operating-process emissions. The site review should also address construction dust, erosion, noise, traffic, habitat disturbance, and other site-preparation effects, with avoidance or mitigation measures tailored to the location. Include process-water treatment, waste-disposal capacity, captured solids, and other residuals in the environmental review. NETL identifies adequate waste-disposal and water-treatment capacity as a site factor; the project should identify actual destinations and capacity rather than assume they will be available.
Current air permitting, emissions limits, monitoring, and reporting obligations must be confirmed with the responsible regulator for the project’s location and design. The cited EPA assessment documents are not a substitute for that review, and historical descriptions should not be used as current permit conditions.

How should candidate sites be compared and documented?
Use a common evidence file and decision record for every candidate. A useful package includes:
- a site map, land-use information, site-control records, sensitive receptors, and environmental constraints;
- an infrastructure and transport inventory, including gaps and proposed connections;
- a process-specific water balance, source and quality evidence, conveyance needs, water-management pathways, and approval status;
- coal source, supply and logistics evidence, process-compatibility basis, and storage and handling plans;
- a preliminary source-by-source emissions inventory, construction-impact review, and waste and treatment-capacity information;
- records of pre-existing conditions, remediation or enabling work, permitting contacts and status, and unresolved evidence gaps; and
- the alternatives comparison, criteria, tradeoffs, and rationale for exclusions.
Compare water dependability and its approval path; coal compatibility, source and delivery reliability; storage and transport infrastructure; environmental sensitivities and discharge pathways; emissions-control implications; utilities and waste-treatment or disposal capacity; site control and remediation; and likely schedule and cost. The quality of evidence matters alongside the apparent advantage: distinguish verified capacity from a preliminary estimate, a secured agreement from an assumption, and an existing facility from a proposed upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a nearby water source mean a site has adequate water?
No. Proximity alone does not establish dependable quantity, suitable quality, a conveyance route, the right to withdraw or purchase water, or approval to use it. The project needs evidence for each link between source and process demand.
Are the IRS coal-project site criteria a permit checklist?
No. The 2020 criteria are a federal project-site example that identifies evidence categories such as site control, coal and water supply, infrastructure, and environmental acceptability. They do not determine which permits a separate project needs.
Can historical EPA gasification documents set current emissions limits?
No. They can help identify source categories and control approaches to investigate, but they do not establish current limits for a specific facility. Confirm current requirements with the responsible regulator for the project location and design.
