RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7. Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
8. "Special" Reports
9. Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series. Reports in this series result from the
effort funded under the 17-agency Federal Energy/Environment Research and
Development Program. These studies relate to EPA's mission to protect the public
health and welfare from adverse effects of pollutants associated with energy sys-
tems. The goal of the Program is to assure the rapid development of domestic
energy supplies in an environmentally-compatible manner by providing the nec-
essary environmental data and control technology. Investigations include analy-
ses of the transport of energy-related pollutants and their health and ecological
effects, assessments of, and development of, control technologies for energy
systems; and integrated assessments of a wide range of energy-related environ-
mental issues.

FOREWORD
When energy and material resources are extracted, processed, converted,
and used, the related pollutional impacts on our environment and even on our
health often require that new and increasingly more efficient pollution con-
trol methods be used. The Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory-Cin-
cinnati (lERL-Ci) assists in developing and demonstrating new and improved
methodologies that will meet these needs both efficiently and economically.
This study used lysimeters to simulate both a low elevation (dry site)
and a high elevation (moist site) disposal scheme for Paraho direct heated
oil shale. The study investigated the surface vegetative stabilization of
retorted shale with and without soil cover and investigated water and salt
movement through compacted and uncompacted Paraho retorted shale. The re-
sults should be useful to government agencies and private developers involved
with developing environmentally acceptable methods for retorted oil shale
disposal. For further information, contact the Extraction Technology Branch
of the Resource Extraction and Handling Division.

ABSTRACT
Disposal of large amounts of spent shale will be required if an oil shale
industry using surface retorting is developed. This study utilized lysimeters
to simulate a low-elevation (dry site) and a high-elevation (moist site) dis-
posal scheme for Paraho (direct-heated) retorted shale. The objectives were
to investigate: vegetative stabilization of Paraho retorted shale and retor-
ted shale covered with various soil depths, and water and salt movement in
Paraho retorted shale.
The lysimeters were constructed in western Colorado in 1976 and filled in
March 1977.
Only a sparse vegetation cover (5% to 15%) was established on retorted
shale following fertilization, mulching, and irrigation. In contrast, ade-
quate plant cover (55% to 85%) was established on the soil cover over retor-
ted shale and on soil control treatments.
In the high-elevation (moist) lysimeters, excess irrigation water applied
for leaching and plant establishment moved through the retorted shale and out
the lower drain under the compacted zone. The electrical conductivity (EC) of
the percolate water reached a maximum of 35,000 ymhos/cm, and the pH was 11.4.
In contrast, the EC of the percolate from the soil control treatment reached a
maximum of 8500 pmhos/cm, and the pH was 8.3.
The low-elevation (dry) lysimeter received less irrigation water than the
high-elevation lysimeter, and water did not move through the 150-cm uncom-
pacted zone on unleached treatments.

SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Limited domestic oil and natural gas reserves and the increased price of
imported oil hav^ renewed interest in developing the nation's western oil
shale reserves. These reserves are located within a 65,000 Jon2 area of Colorado
Utah and Wyoming and are estimated to contain 96 billion m3 (600 billion bar-
rels) of recoverable shale oil using present-day technology (U.S. Department
of Interior, 1973). If an oil shale industry is to develop, many environmen-
tal as well as technical problems oust be resolved. One of the major environ-
mental problems involves the long-term stabilization of the massive amounts of
waste material (spent or retorted shale) that will be produced.
A mature oil shale industry could produce an estimated one million bar-
rels of oil per day (U.S. Department of Interior, 1973). At 1977 use rates,
this is about 6% of the U.S. petroleum use. If surface retorting methods are
used to produce this quantity of petroleum, approximately 20,000 ha-m of spent
shale waste would be generated each year. Part of this spent shale might be
disposed of in the mined areas, but a large portion, probably over half, would
require surface disposal as canyon fills or as elevated mesas. Thus, from 200
to 400 hectares of land per year would be required for disposal sites.
The retorted shales would have to be managed in such a manner as to avoid
pollution from surface erosion (both wind and water) and subsurface leaching
of soluble salts. The pollution could be a problem not only in the immediate
future (20 to 30 years life expectancy of an individual oil shale plant) but
also on a long-term basis.
Stabilization of the exposed surfaces could be attempted by establishing
vegetation on retorted shale or soil-covered retorted shale. Leaching of solu-
ble salts might be prevented by: (1) compaction of retorted shale to make it
impervious to water, (2) total isolation of retorted shale from water, (3)re-
torting shale at sufficiently high temperature to produce a pozzolanic (cemen-
ting) reaction (Culbertson et al., 1970), or (4) a combination of the above
methods. However, on low-elevation sites, leaching of soluble salts through
the disposal pile would probably not be a problem because of low precipitation,
provided that an adequate plant cover was maintained on the disposal site to
transpire subsurface moisture.
The physical and chemical characteristics of the spent shale affect the
degree to which the exposed surface can be stabilized with vegetation and the
subsurface layers stabilized by compaction or cementation. These character-
istics depend on the source of the raw shale, the particle size of the shale
-------
after crushing and the retorting parameters such as temperature, flow rate,
and carbonate decomposition.
If the materials are finely crushed, such as in the rotating kiln pro-
cess (TOSCO), then a fine silty spent shale is produced. However, if the raw
shale is coarsely crushed, as in the gas combustion processes (Paraho, USBM),
then a coarse, gravelly-textured spent shale is produced.
Spent shales retorted at a temperature of about 500 C (TOSCO) have pH's
in the 8-9 range, while retorting at combustion zone temperatures of 650-800 C
(USBM, Paraho Direct, Union Decarbonized) results in spent shales with pH's
of 11-12. The pH of the spent shale produced at high temperatures must be
reduced before it can be considered as a plant growth media.
Previous research has shown that the TOSCO spent shale retorted at lower
temperatures (< 500 C) was too salty for plant growth and deficient in plant-
available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) (Schmehl and McCaslin, 1973). How-
ever, good stands of vegetation were established on the TOSCO spent shale,
which is fine-textured and highly saline, after leaching, fertilizing withN
and P, and sprinkling for seedling establishment (Bloch and Kilburn, 1973;
Harbert and Berg, 1978).
In addition to physical and chemical characteristics of the spent shale,
the location of the disposal sites would also affect pile stability and deep
water percolation. Elevations between 1500 and 2100 m with south to south-
west aspects are xeric sites with annual precipitation of 22 to 40 cm. In
contrast, elevations above 2100 m, particularly those with north aspects are
more mesic with annual precipitation of 40 to 60 cm, here precipitation sea-
sonally exceeds plant growth requirements during the spring snowmelt period
(March through May).
Weeks et al. (1974) reported that recharge to the aquifer system in the
Piceance Basin occurs principally from spring snowmelt when the evaporative
demand is low. Whereas, in the summer months, the precipitation is lost di-
rectly to runoff or evapotranspiration. Recharge to the aquifer system is
most effective in areas above 2100 m where it is estimated that 65 percent
of the total yearly precipitation occurs from November through March (Weeks
et al., 1974). Thus, disposal of retorted shale at elevations above 2100 m
could pose a major problem with leaching of soluble salts. Water balance
calculations for the Piceance Basin region by Wymore (1974) indicates that
little opportunity for deep percolation of water occurs at elevations below
2100 m because of low precipitation and high evapotranspiration.
Factors that could affect the leaching of salts within the disposal pile
are:
1. texture of the shale
2. total soluble salt concentration of the shale
3. degree of compaction
4. Seasonal precipitation pattern and surface run-in following
intense summer storms
-------
5. amount and type of vegetative cover
6. aspect, slope, and elevation of the surface of the disposal
pile
7. degree to which cementation occurs in the retorted shale in
the disposal pile
Researchers have worked on the problems of leaching and surface stability
of TOSCO (Ward et al., 1971; Bloch and Kilburn, 1973; Harbert and Berg, 1978),
USBM (Schmehl and McCaslin, 1973; Harbert and Berg, 1978), and Union Oil
Company retorted shales (Lipman, 1975). A joint study by Development Engi-
neering, Inc., Woodward-Clyde Consultants of Denver, and U.S. Bureau of Mines
involved work on the engineering aspects of compaction and disposal of Paraho
retorted shales (Holtz, 1976). Prior to the study reported here, field
research had not been done to simultaneously examine the leaching potential
and vegetative stabilization of Paraho retorted shale.
Thus, this field research study was designed to model both a low-eleva-
tion (dry site) and a high-elevation (moist site) disposal scheme for Paraho
retorted shale (direct-heated), in order to investigate:
1. the vegetative stabilization of the surface of Paraho retorted
shale and retorted Paraho shale with various depths of soil
cover.
2. subsurface water and salt movement through both uncompacted and
compacted retorted Paraho shale and retorted Paraho shale with
various depths of soil cover.
-------
SECTION II
CONCLUSIONS
1. Analysis of Paraho direct-heated retorted shale shows the material to
have a high pH (11.2) and a relatively low soluble salt content (EC 4-5
iranhos/cm on a 1:1 shale to water extract). Initially, the high pH would
limit plant establishment directly on Paraho retorted shale.
2. Wetting and drying the shale four times resulted in reduction of the pH
from 11.2 to 9.0 in samples collected from the surface. This reduction
resulted from recarbonation of retorted shale by atmospheric CO2- How-
ever, after the pH reduction, it appears that nutrient imbalances were
inhibiting plant growth on the retorted shale.
3. Four months after placement core samples from the leached uncompacted
zone show the pH apparently reduced from 11.2 to 9.0 throughout the 150-
cm profile.
4. A sparse vegetative cover (5% to 10%) was established on the retorted
shale treatments on both lysimeters. In contrast, a good to excellent
cover (55% to 80%) was established on the soil control and soil-covered
treatments.
5. The retorted shale at 1 m depth cooled from 232 to 70 C in approximately
10 days but temperatures above 50 C were maintained for an additional
30 days.
6. On the high-elevation lysimeters, water moved rapidly through the re-
torted shale and soil control treatments. In contrast, on the soil-
cover treatments a greater volume of water was held in the soil as the
result of the abrupt texture change from a clay loam soil to the gravelly
Paraho retorted shale.
7. On the unleached treatments in the low-elevation lysimeters, water did
not move below 105 cm in the soil-cover treatments because of the abrupt
texture change. In contrast, water moved below 150 cm in the soil con-
trol treatments.
8. Ninety-nine percent of the total percolate was from the lower drain under
the compacted zone, and only 1% was collected from the upper drain at the
interface of the compacted and uncompacted zones. Core samples show that
water had penetrated into the compacted zones.
-------
9. The EC of the percolate from the retorted shale treatments reached a
maximum of 35 mmhos/cm, but the EC was reduced to 11 mmhos/cm after one
pore volume of leachate was collected. In contrast, the EC of the per-
colate from the soil control did not exceed 8.5 mmhos/cm.
10. The EC and SAR values of the percolate show a high pollution potential
if water moves through the retorted shale.
-------
SECTION III
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. An initial attempt to stabilize the surface of Paraho retorted shale with
vegetation was not successful, since only 5-15 percent cover was esta-
blished after intensive treatment. Thus, this retorted shale would re-
quire even more intensive management to make it a suitable plant growth
medium; it is, therefore, recommended that the shale be covered with soil
to insure that an adequate vegetative cover is established.
2. Since the pollution potential from soluble salts is high, water should
not be allowed to leach through Paraho retorted oil shale and enter the
hydrological system. Possible alternatives to preventing water movement
through Paraho retorted shale are compacting the material to make it im-
pervious to water flow and/or covering the material with a depth of soil
material sufficient to hold the seasonal precipitation, particularly from
spring snowmelt.
3. If a compacted zone is used to prevent water movement through the com-
mercial disposal pile, additional research is needed to insure that the
compacted material can be made impervious. This study shows that water
has moved into retorted shale compacted to a density of 1.5 to 1.6 g/cm^-
4. Additional research is needed on the cooling rates of retorted shale
under commercial disposal pile conditions. If elevated temperatures are
maintained in a disposal pile, a xeric site could result due to warmer
surface temperatures and the resulting higher evaporation potential.
-------
SECTION IV
METHODS
Concrete lysimeters were selected to aid in modeling a disposal scheme
for Paraho retorted (direct-heated) oil shale. The lysimeters were designed
and constructed in such a manner as to provide a solid, waterproof container
in which to place and compact the retorted shale obtained directly from the
retort.
STUDY DESIGN
A canyon fill retorted-shale disposal site might have the following
design features:
1. A fill starting at the lower end of the canyon would pro-
bably be constructed of retorted shale and would have a
downstream face as steep as 50% or as flat as 25%, depend-
ing on the design criteria.
2. Behind the downstream face would be a fill area with a
gentle slope (2% to 5%) away from the downstream face.
3. The body of the disposal pile would probably be a highly
compacted or cemented zone.
4. The exposed surface of the disposal site would then have
an uncompacted zone of either retorted shale alone or
soil-covered retorted shale which would be stabilized
with vegetation. This zone would have to be sufficiently
deep, 150 cm or greater, to provide adequate plant rooting
and moisture storage.
Two lysimeters, each 13.4 m wide by 40 m long and 2.4 m deep, were con-
structed to simulate the disposal system described above. The lysimeters
were constructed of reinforced concrete with water stops between the cold
seams. Each lysimeter has a 25% slope representing the fill face and a 2%
slope representing the fill area. In the lysimeters a 90-cm deep layer of
compacted retorted shale (1.5 to 1.6 g/cm-*} was covered with a 150-cm uncom-
pacted zone (1.2 to 1.4 g/cm3) (Figure 1). The study was designed with two
lysimeters to provide replication for mathematical hydrological modeling work
during the leaching phase, and then to serve as separate units in which to
simulate both a high-elevation (moist) and a low-elevation (dry) disposal site.

The study site is 0.3 km south-southwest of the housing area at the U.S.
Department of Energy, Anvil Points Oil Shale Research Facility (Figure 2).
The study site, which is on public land managed by the Bureau of Land Manage-
ment, is characteristic of a low-elevation disposal site with an elevation of
1737 m and a mean annual precipitation of approximately 28 cm. Both lysi-
meters were built at this site because of its proximity to water, electricity,
retorted shale, and concrete construction supplies. Greater precipitation
and less evaporation at a high-elevation disposal site was simulated in one
of the lysimeters by applying additional irrigation water.

The following six treatments were tested in each lysimeters on both a 2%
and 25% slope:
1. retorted shale to the surface (shale treatment), leached
2. 20-cm soil cover over retorted shale, leached
3. 40-cm soil cover over retorted shale, unleached
4. 60-cm soil cover over retorted shale, unleached
5. 80-cm soil cover over retorted shale, unleached
6. soil control, unleached
Thus within each lysimeter there are 12 treatment areas 6.7 by 6.7 m, six
with a 2% north-facing slope and six with a 25% south-facing slope. Each of
the 12 treatment areas has an upper drain at the interface of the compacted
and uncompacted zones and a lower drain beneath the compacted zone.
Each of the 12 treatment areas are separated into two side by side vege-
tation and surface runoff replications (3.4 by 6.7 m) divided at the surface
with a redwood board. Each 3.4 by 6.7 m replication has a set of instruments
to monitor water and salt movement and a surface runoff collector. The loca-
tion and plot plan for each of the treatments and replications are shown in
Figure 3.

CONSTRUCTION
In April, 1976, the site was cleared of brush and stripped of soil to a
depth of 90 cm. The soil was stockpiled for use on soil-covered shale treat-
ments .
The main water line at the housing area was tapped, and a 5-cm PVC plas-
tic water line to the site was buried on the east side of the gravel road
constructed from the Anvil Points housing area to the study site. A 220-volt,
100-amp power line to the site was also buried to the east of the road.
Two areas, each 13.4 m wide by 40 m long were staked out 30 m apart in
an east-west direction and excavated to a depth of 1.5 m. The south half of
each excavation was sloped 25% towards the south. The north side of each
area sloped 2% toward the north (Figure 3). In order to provide a stable
base on which to construct the concrete floor of the lysimeter both areas
were then covered with 40 cm of road base gravel.
Concrete footings were poured along the 40-m length of the toe and
crest positions of each slope to provide a base for the concrete walls and
pads (Figure 4). A 20-cm rubber water stop was also poured into the footings
to provide a water-tight seal between the wall and the footings. The lower
drain (5-cm diameter PVC pipe) for each treatment area was inserted as the
footer was poured (Figure 5).
Reinforced concrete pads 15-cm thick were poured as 6.7 by 6.7-m square
blocks for the floor of each treatment, thus providing a solid unit without
cold seams. A 20 by 20-cm concrete curb with a waterstop was poured between
each pad to prevent lateral water movement. On the toe of both the 25% and
2% slopes, a 6.7 m wide, 10 cm deep drain was formed in the concrete of each
pad (Figure 5).
After the concrete pads were constructed a solid concrete end wall was
poured along the entire 13.4 m length of the west end of each lysimeter and
along the 25% slope on the east side (Figure 6). The 2% east side was left
open for machine access to the lysimeters during the filling operation.
The inside of each lysimeter was then sprayed with a coal-tar-base
waterproofing agent (Fabertite) to provide additional sealing and to prevent
water within the lysimeter from reacting with the concrete walls and pads,
because concrete is chemically similar to retorted shale.
The leachate collection culverts (150 cm in diameter, 3.6 m deep) were
installed in front of each treatment (Figure 1) and located 2.4 m from the
concrete wall. Holes were cut in the culverts, and the lower and upper drain
pipes were installed using 5-cm diameter PVC plastic pipe. The culverts and
concrete walls were back-filled and reshaped to the original ground level.
Construction of the lysimeters was completed in October 1976.

FILLING OPERATIONS
The bulk of the retorted shale was hauled on a 24 hours per day basis
from the retort and placed directly into the lysimeters. However, during
some night operations the retorted shale had to be stockpiled before place-
ment. Shale hauling was started on March 21 and completed on April 6.
Approximately 4,000 metric tons of retorted shale was used in the study.
The filling operation involved three steps:
1. The inside of the lysimeter was washed and 10 cm of washed
2-cm gravel was placed over the concrete pad to provide a free
draining bed (Figure 4).
2. The retorted shale was hauled to the study site in 10-ton dump
trucks, dumped over the gravel and then spread in 20-cm thick
lifts. The lifts were spread and shaped with either a D4
Caterpillar dozer or small-tracked loader.
3. The 20-cm lifts of retorted shale were compacted with a
^ibrostat II vibratory roller (1800 kg, 1500 vpm, 450 kg
dynamic load). Fourteen passes were used per lift to obtain
the desired density of 1.5 to 1.6 g/cm3 (Figure 7). A
small Raygo Dumont R55 vibratory roller was used next to the
concrete walls (weight 300 kg, 4260 vpm, dynamic force 100 kg).

using a large vibratory compactor chained
to a D4 Caterpillar running on the 2% slope.
Density measurements were made on each lift by the nuclear surface den-
sity test method, ASTM (D2922-71). The range in density of the compacted
zone was from 1.47 to 1.60 g/cm3 with a mean of 1.53 (Appendix Table 1).
Retorted shale was added and compacted until a 90-cm compacted zone was in
place above the concrete pad.
Initially, compaction was attempted without water. But, because of the
dust created by the hauling and dumping operation it was necessary to apply
water at about 7.4% by volume.
The open end of the lysimeters on the east side of the 2% slope was
closed and sealed during the compaction operation by placing a 5 cmx15 cmx
6.7-m board in the opening as each lift was installed. The boards were
coated with Farbertite to prevent water seepage from the lysimeter.
Dividing walls made of 2-cm thick plywood were installed every 6.7 m
to separate each treatment area and prevent lateral movement of water and
salts between treatments. After the walls were set in a 15-cm deep trench
dug into the compacted zone, the trench was refilled and compacted as des-
cribed above. A solid 2.4-m high plywood wall was installed between the
compacted shale zone and the soil control treatment area at the far west end.
The latter area was filled with 2.4 m of uncompacted soil.
Drains at the interface of the compacted and uncompacted zones were
installed using perforated 5-cm diameter PVC plastic pipe. The drains were
15
-------
set in furrows dug 5 cm deep into the upper surface of the compacted zone
along the entire 6.7-m length of each treatment. The drain pipes were sloped
2% to the center of each treatment area and connected to the drain pipe in
the center of the concrete wall. Drain pipes were then covered with 15 cm
of washed, 2-cm diameter gravel to prevent clogging.
After the dividing walls and drains were installed, the retorted shale
for the uncompacted zone was dumped directly into the lysimeters from the
trucks and shaped as needed with a front-end loader. The same density test
described for the compacted zone were used to measure the density of the
uncompacted zone which was found to range from 1.2 to 1.4 g/cm^. A front-end
loader was used to place and shape the soil-cover treatments. The east side
of the uncompacted zone in each lysimeter was closed with a solid, 2.0-cm
thick, waterproofed plywood wall.
Measuring Retorted Shale Temperatures
Temperatures of the retorted shale in the uncompacted zone were measured
following the filling operation. Measurements were made periodically with a
thermocouple probe and continuously with a thermocouple recorder (Foxboro
Model ER 4037, 31-day recorder).
On March 31, immediately after filling, a thermcouple probe was used to
measure temperatures at a depth of one m in each treatment area containing
retorted shale. Access to this depth was gained by coring a small hole in
the shale or soil over shale and then inserting the probe. Additional mea-
surements were taken on April 8 and May 20. The probe was provided by Devel-
opment Engineering, Inc. and had a temperature range of 0 to 1000 C.
Three thermocouples were used in series to obtain a mean temperature at
a depth of one m in the retorted shale treatment area on the high-elevation
lysimeter. The thermocouples were connected to the recorder which was oper-
ated from April 8 until May 5.
Wet-Dry Cycles
Previous research by Bell and Berg (1977) has shown that the pH could be
reduced from 11 to 9 in Paraho direct-heated shale by wetting and drying it a
minimum of four times. Thus, in April, the retorted shale treatments on both
lysimeters were subjected to 4 wet-dry cycles. A total of 380 liters of
water was hand-sprayed over each 6.7 x 6.7-m retorted shale treatment area,
and then the shale was allowed to air-dry for 7 days. This cycle was
repeated three more times bringing the total water added during the four
cycles to 1520 liters. Retorted shale samples were collected before and after
the wet-dry cycles and were analyzed for pH and EC on a 1:1 shale to water by
weight extract.

INSTRUMENTATION
The lysimeters were instrumented with tensiometers, piezometers, neutron
probe access tubes, and salinity sensors to monitor the water and salt move-
ment through the uncompacted retorted shale zone and the soil-covered retorted
shale. All instruments were installed using a Giddings hydraulic soil probe.
Each replication was instrumented (Figure 8), except for the soil con-
trols in which only neutron probe access tubes were installed. The compacted
zone was not instrumented in either lysimeter as the integrity of the com-
paction would have been broken by drilling the holes.
-6.7171 (221)-
Figure 8. Location of the instruments in each replication.
Tensiometers (Soil Moisture Equipment Co., model 2710) were installed at
15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150-cm depths to measure soil and shale water matrie
potential. The tensiometers were filled with water once the neutron probe mea-
surements indicated that sufficient moisture (>30% by volume) was in the soil or
shale for tensiometers to hold suction. Tensiometer readings were made daily
during the leaching phase and weeky thereafter. The tensiometers were drained
for the winter in late September 1977. The tensiometer data was for the use of
Dr. McWhorter in his modeling study and are not included in this report.
17
-------
Piezometers (3-cm diameter steel pipe with 45-cm 60-mesh screen well
points attached to the end) were installed to a depth of 150 cm (the inter-
face between the compacted and uncompacted zone) in each treatment area on
both the 25% and 2% slopes. The piezometers were capped to prevent irriga-
tion water from entering and were read daily during the leaching phase and
weekly thereafter.
Neutron probe access tubes (3.8-cm EMT electrical conduit) were installed
to a depth of 150 cm in each replication. The tubes were not capped on the
bottom next to the compacted zone, but were capped at the surface end with a
rubber stopper.
Salinity sensors (Soil Moisture Equipment Co., model 5105) with 750-cm
leads were installed at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150-cm depths within each
replication. The sensors were stacked in one hole at the appropriate depths.
then back-filled with <2-mm size shale fines to insure contact with the re-
torted shale. The leads were pulled from the center of each replication and
inserted into a board in front of each treatment area, thus providing easy
access during data collection (Figure 8). The sensors were read daily during
the leaching phase and weekly during the establishment phase.
Moisture Measurements
Retorted shale and soil volumetric moisture measurements were taken daily
during the leaching phase and weekly during the establishment phase. Measure-
ments were made using a Troxler Model S6A neutron probe and Model 3800 sealer
with rate meter. Readings were taken at 15-cm increments starting 15 cm be-
low the surface and continuing to a depth of 150 cm.
To accurately determine the moisture content of. the retorted shale, a
calibration curve was developed according to the method described by Van Bavel
(1958) (Appendix Table 2). The probe manufacturer's calibration curve for a
standard soil was used to convert all readings taken in the soil (Appendix
Table 3).
Sump Pump System
The subsurface drain system within each treatment area was fitted with a
120-liter plastic container, electric sump pump, and low meter to measure both
the rate and total volume of percolate from each lower drain (Figure 1).
Electrical power (110-volts AC) was connected to each 150-cm diameter
collection culvert. Within eac culvert, a sump pump (Zoeller model 54) was
used. The pump was designed with a float-activated on-off switch, which al-
lowed the system to turn on whenever the container had more than 5 cm of
water. If all the sump pumps (24) operated at once, the electrical demand
would have exceeded the capacity at the site. Therefore a sump pump control-
ler was designed to turn on the electricity to 6 pumps at 3-minute intervals.
The sumped water was measured through a totalizing flow meter (Corad Model
CM3) and dumped into a 5-cm diameter PVC plastic drain line outside each
culvert.
18
-------
Water from the upper drains was measured with a meter stick in the plastic
containers as the total volume of water collected during several days did not
exceed the capacity of the collection container.
Surface Runoff Collectors
A surface runoff collector made of 22-gauge sheet metal was fitted on each
3.3 x 6.7-m replication. The collectors were connected to a 106-cm diameter,
1.2-m deep collection culvert that was sealed with concrete on the floor and
then waterproofed. Each collection culvert was then fitted with a 120-liter
plastic container to collect the runoff water and sediment. Redwood plot
divider boards were installed between each replication and connected to the
runoff collectors. The runoff collection system was completed in August 1977,
and will be used to collect the spring snowmelt runoff and summer storm runoff
(Figure 9).

slope treatments.
Irrigation System and Water Supply
Both lysimeters were fitted with an automated, solid set, square pattern
sprinkler system. The 3-cm diameter outside laterals were placed along the
40-m concrete walls just off the lysimeter. The center lateral was placed
across the top of the lysimeters at the break between the 25% and 2% slopes.
Rainbird #14 VLA TNT sprinkler heads with 0.15-mm, 5° nozzles were placed
every 6.7 m along each lateral. The sprinklers along the toe of the 25%
slopes were set on 60-cm risers while the others were on 30-cm risers. The
19
-------
system was controlled using a Rainbird Model AG7, 7-station time clock and a
24-volt DC solenoid valve.
Water for sprinkling came from the domestic water supply system at Anvil
Points which uses Colorado River water. The pH and EC of the water was deter-
mined periodically, typical values were pH 7.8 and conductivity of 1100
Umhos/cm (Appendix Table 4).
Water was delivered from the sprinkler heads at the rate of 0.4 cm/hr (on
an area basis), however, water delievered to the lysimeter surface was less
than this due to evaporative demand. Overall, irrigation application effi-
ciency was 66% for the continuous sprinkling during leaching over the June
2-15 period. The amount of water actually applied to the lysimeter surface
was measured in small plastic rain gauges set on each of the 12 treatment
areas on each lysimeter. This later measurement is the measurement used as
water applied since there was no surface runoff.
ESTABLISHMENT AND ANALYSIS
Leaching
The retorted shale and 20 cm of soil-cover treatments were leached with
approximately 77 cm of water before they were seeded. The other treatments
were not leached and were covered with plastic to prevent leaching. During
the leaching phase, water was applied 24 hours per day for 13 days. The leach
water application for each lysimeter was determined daily by recording the
amount of water that accumulated in the plastic rain gauges set at ground
level on each treatment (Appendix Tables 5 and 6) .
Analysis of Percolate Water
Water samples collected from the subsurface drains were analyzed by both
the Colorado State University (CSU) Soil and Water Testing Laboratory, Fort
Collins, and the CSU Department of Agricultural and Chemical Engineering
Testing Laboratory in Grand Junction, Colorado. All analytical work was per-
formed according to either ASTM (1976) standard procedures or procedures
approved by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for water quality.
The water samples were collected directly from the drain pipes in plastic
bottles. The samples were then refrigerated at the study site and transported
to Grand Junction or Fort Collins for analysis. Additional samples of the
percolate water were collected for Battelle Northwestern Laboratories, Rich-
land, Washington for analyses for trace elements and organic complexes.
The EC and pH of the percolate water and irrigation water were measured
periodically at the study site during the leaching and establishment phases.
Analysis was with a Fisher Model 7 pH meter and Beckman conductivity bridge
according to procedures in USDA Handbook #60 (Richards, 1954).
20
-------
Fertilization
Before seeding, the plots were fertilized at the rate of 168 kg P/ha with
triple superphosphate and then rototilled to a depth of 15 cm to incorporate
the P.
Nitrogen was applied at the rate of 67 kg N/ha as NH.NO to each plot on
July 3 following germination and again on August 15.
Seeding and Mulching
Each lysimeter was seeded on June 24 with a mixture of species native to
the elevation being modeled (Table 1). In addition, serviceberry and bitter-
brush seedlings were transplanted into each replication on the high-elevation
lysimeters.
Following seeding, each treatment was mulched with alfalfa hay at the rate
of 2200 kg/ha. Prior to placement, the mulch was covered with plastic and
treated with methyl bromide at the rate of 9 kg/ton in an attempt to kill any
viable seeds. The mulch was then spread on each treatment area and held in
place with Conwed plastic mulch netting.
Establishment Irrigation
The vegetative cover was established on both lysimeters using almost daily
applications of irrigation water (Appendix Tables 5 and 6). The high-eleva-
tion lysimeter was irrigated at the approximate rate of 2.0 cm per day start-
ing on June 28 and running to August 18. This application rate, approximately
100% in excess of the pan evaporation rate, was applied to insure water move-
ment through the lysimeter. Over the establishment period 83.6 cm of water
was applied.
The low-elevation lysimeter was irrigated almost daily from June 28 until
August 18 at the rate of 1.0 cm per day or approximately the daily pan eva-
poration rate. Over the establishment period 37.6 cm of water was applied.
Vegetation Analysis
Analysis of the vegetative cover was completed on August 26, 1977, using
the quadrat method. Six quadrats, 20 by 40-cm, were placed randomly on each
3.3 by 6.7-m replication, and the total number of individual plants by species
was determined. The percent of vegetative ground cover, not including litter
and mulch, was estimated visually from each quadrat.
Core Sample Analysis
Core samples were collected from the retorted shale treatment areas on
both lysimeters on September 1 using a soil sample tube (Soil Moisture Equip-
ment Co., Model 215). Samples were collected in 15-cm increments, to the
depth of 150 cm. Samples were stored in plastic bags and analyzed by the CSU
Soil and Water Testing Laboratory. Analyses for common cations (Na, Ca, Mg,
K) andanions (HCO,, Cl, SOJ , pH, and EC were determined on a 1:1 shale to

Ambient air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, and pan eva-
poration were measured at the site daily during the summer. Temperature and
relative humidity were measured with a 31-day hydrothermograph (Weather
Measure Corp., model H331). Precipitation was measured with a tipping bucket
gauge (Weather Measure Corp., model P511 with 90-day recorder). Pan evapora-

SECTION V
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF RETORTED SHALE AND SOIL
The retorted shale and soil used in this study were characterized as to
their physical and chemical properties that might have the greatest effect on
plant growth (i.e. pH, EC, particle size, plant-available N, P and K, and
common water soluble cations and anions).
Retorted shale samples were collected from the retort and analyzed daily
during the filling operation (March 21 through April 4) by Development Engi-
neering, Inc. personnel at Anvil Points. In addition to routine analysis as-
sociated with the retorting operation, the samples were analyzed for pH and
EC. Analysis procedures and results are listed in Appendix Tables 9 and 10.
A description of the Paraho oil shale retorting process is given by Jones (1976).
The pH of the shale taken directly from the retort was between 11.3 and
11.6, and the EC was between 2.2 and 4.3 mmhos/cm on a 1:1 by weight water to
shale extract. Electrical conductivities were not determined on a saturated
paste extract because the coarseness of the shale prevented an accurate deter-
mination of saturation as described for soils by the U.S. Salinity Laboratory
(Richards, 1954). A rough conversion of conductivity of a 1:1 extract to a
saturated paste extract can be made by doubling the 1:1 conductivity extract
reading. A soil is considered to be saline when the EC of a saturation ex-
tract is >4 mmhos/cm. Thus, the shale as it exits the retorted can be char-
acterized as having a high pH and moderate soluble salt content. In terms of
plant growth, the high pH would be a limiting factor and salinity would appear
to be less of a problem. However, when the shale is exposed to the atmosphere,
the pH will decrease and the EC will increase as shown below.
Samples were collected by CSU personnel as the retorted shale was dumped
from the truck into the lysimeters, these samples were air-dried and then
stored in Ziplock plastic bags. In comparison with the samples collected at
the retort, the pH is lower (9.7), and the EC is higher (7.1 mmhos/cm) (Table
2) . The pH reduction may have occurred during the hauling but most likely
occurred from the time of collection in March and April until analysis in
September. The pH reduction is discussed in more detail in the wet-dry
results section.
The analyses of the soil used in both the soil controls and soil-cover
treatments are given in Table 2. The soil, a mixture of A and C horizons,
was non-saline and calcareous.

f Shale analyses were on a 1:1 extract; soil analyses were on a satura-

The SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) is a measure of the ratio of sodium
to calcium and magnesium in either soils or water and is an estimate of the
dispersion potential posed by exchangeable sodium in a soil when excess solu-
ble salts are leached out (Richards, 1954). with SAR values of 15 and greater
a potential problem with sodium dispersion exists. The SAR values in the
retorted shale were much higher than in the soil (Table 2).
25
-------
In comparing the fertility characteristics of the retorted shale with
the soil, plant-available P (NaHCO extraction) is low in both materials, K
(1 N^ ammonium acetate extraction) is adequate, and nitrate-N is low. Physi-
cally, the soil is fine-textured (clay loam) and the shale is very coarse
(gravelly sandy loam). Although the retorted shale is coarse, the particles
are porous and contain soluble salts. The ramifications of these textural
and chemical differences will be discussed in the sections on moisture and
percolation.
The retorted shale was sampled to determine the amount of fines before
and after compaction. About 90% of the uncompacted shale is >2 mm (gravel-
size) . After compaction, the percent gravel was reduced to 47.8% (Table 3).
A reduction in particle size of Paraho retorted shale with compaction was
reported by Holtz (1976).

WET-DRY CYCLES
The principle behind the wet and dry cycles for pH reduction is recar-
bonation of the retorted shale. The process is best explained by the follow-
ing simplified equations:
(1) CaO + H20 -*• Ca(OH)2
retorted shale irrigation
(2) Ca(OH)_ + C09 -»• CaCO, + H0O
* •_ i 3 £.
atmosphere
As a result of the four wet-dry cycles (also handling and exposure in general),
the pH was reduced from 11.4 to 9.2 but the EC increased from 4 to 6.1 (Appen-
dix Tables 11 and 12). The increase in the EC is probably a reflection of the
increased solubility of Ca and Mg salts as the pH is decreased.
The pH of the retorted shale would probably drop by allowing the shale
to weather and recarbonate naturally from the C02 in the atmosphere. Appar-
ently, the amount of carbonate decomposition is minimal in the Paraho direct
retorting mode and this fact allowed for rapid recarbonation of the retorted
26
-------
shale. The amount of carbonate decomposition has both advantages and disad-
vantages in terms of disposal. If the carbonate decomposition is low, the pH
will drop rapidly. But if more carbonates are converted to oxides, the pH
will not drop as rapidly and the retorted shale should have a greater cement-
ing quality. The cementing should provide greater pile stability and reduced
water movement through the shale, but highly cemented shales would require
deep soil covers to insure adequate moisture storage for perennial plants.
RETORTED SHALE TEMPERATURES
Although a sharp drop in the temperature from 230 to 64-80 C occurred
within 10 days after placement, an additional 30 days was required for the
shale to drop below 60 C at the 1 m recording depth. The average daily am-
bient air temperature during the measurement period ranged from -1.9 C to
15.4 C. Retorted shale temperature measurements (Appendix Tables 13 and 14)
are illustrated in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Cooling rates for retorted shale, temperatures were
measured at 1 m depth with either a thermocouple
recorder or probe, April 5 through May 5, 1977.
During a snow storm on April 5, it was observed that 10 cm of snow
accumulated on the soil control and the area surrounding the lysimeters. But
snow on the treatments with retorted shale and soil-covered shale melted. The
melting occurred even on the treatment with 80 cm of soil over retorted shale.
27
-------
In summary, it appears that a droughty site could develop if retorted
shale is dumped hot and covered with soil before being allowed to cool. Addi-
tional research is needed to document the rate of cooling and predict surface
temperatures of the disposal pile under commercial scale operations.
VEGETATION
A good to excellent (55% to 85%) vegetative cover was established on all
the soil-cover treatments in both lysimeters. By contrast, the vegetative
cover established on the retorted shale treatments was sparse (5% to 15%) and
individual plants were small on both lysimeters after one growing season
(Table 4). The sparse vegetative cover on the shale is probably a reflection
of higher pH's (9-9.5), plant nutrient imbalances (Na:Ca:Mg), and higher
surface temperatures. The alfalfa mulch used in this study decayed rather
rapidly exposing some of the black retorted shale, this may have resulted in
higher surface temperatures than on the soil covers. Surface temperatures
were not measured this first year but should be in the future. The vegetative
cover on the retorted shale treatments for the high-elevation lysimeter is
twice as abundant as that on the low-elevation lysimeter (Table 4) , this is
probably because more irrigation water was applied to the former during esta-
blishment.

In contrast to this limited plant growth on retorted shale, Harbert and
Berg (1978) reported good vegetative growth directly on weathered USBM spent
shale that was produced by a process similar to the Paraho direct-heated
shale. This suggests that if the Paraho material were allowed to weather that
a more suitable plant growth medium might be obtained.
The vegetative cover on the soil-cover treatments for the low-elevation
lysimeters was greater than for the high-elevation lysimeters (Table 4).
28
-------
This difference was due to the use of galleta, a warm season grass, that was
seeded only on the low-elevation lysimeter. This grass grew vigorously during
the hot months of July and August.
The vegetation on the high-elevation lysimeters was dominated by the
wheatgrasses, alfalfa, and plantain (Appendix Tables 15-20). The latter two
species were brought in with the hay mulch. Galleta plus the species men-
tioned above dominated the vegetation growing on the low-elevation lysimeters
(Appendix Tables 21-26). It will take several years for the species and
plant densities to begin to come into equilibrium with the various edaphic
and moisture regimes, for this reason no further discussion on the vegetation
is in this publication.
Alfalfa plants were clipped from all treatments on both lysimeters in
early September for selected trace element analysis. The results will be
presented in a separate report.
The vegetation will be an important component of the study in the
future, both in terms of soil moisure depletion and trace element uptake.
MOISTURE
Moisture measurements were made daily during the leaching phase (June
2-15) and weekly during the establishment phase (June 21 to August 17). The
moisture readings for the above periods are given in Appendix Tables 27 through
50 for both the high and low-elevation lysimeters. The large volume of soil
moisture data (Appendix Tables 27-50) is summarized in this report by plotting
soil or spent shale moisture curves for June 5, June 14, and September 1 for
the retorted shale and 20 cm of soil-cover treatments, which were leached and
then irrigated for plant establishment (Figures 11 and 12). On the unleached
treatments (40, 60, and 80 cm of soil-cover and soil control), readings were
plotted for June 21, July 15, and September 1.
A review of the moisture data (Appendix Tables 27-50) reveals that sev-
eral July readings show unusually high moisture values (>60% by volume).
These high readings occurred just prior to having the neutron probe repaired.
Review of the data collected from other studies in 1977 on which the same
probe was used also indicates that higher than normal readings were obtained
during several dates in July. However, the July 15 readings dates graphed in
Figures 11 and 12 appear to be accurate.
Moisture Profiles for Leached Treatments, High- and Low-Elevation Lysimeters
To ameliorate the retorted shale as a plant growth medium, 76 to 78 cm
of leach water was applied to both the retorted shale and 20-cm soil-cover
treatments during the period of June 2 through 15.
The June 5 readings show that the wetting front had moved to a depth of
75 cm in each of the leached treatments (Figures 11 and 12). By June 5, a
total of 13.6 and 16.9 cm of water had been applied to the high- and low-
elevation lysimeters, respectively.

Figure 12. Moisture profiles for the low-elevation lysimeter treatments.
-------
Water was starting to drip from the lower drain of each leached treat-
ment by June 9. On June 14, after the addition of approximately 77 cm of
water to both lysimeters, the uncompacted zone (150 cm profile) of each treat-
ment was filled to approximately 48% by volume (Figures 11 and 12), and water
was flowing from the drain below the compacted zone of each treatment.
The moisture data do not show the development of a water table at the
interface of the compacted and uncompacted zones in either lysimeter (Figures
11 and 12) . Likewise, the piezometers gave no indication that a water table
ever developed at the interface of either the 2% or 25% slopes. The lack of
a water table and the presence of little or no percolate from the upper drains
suggests that water was moving through the compacted zone.
The September 1 moisture readings for the leached treatments show a
decrease in total moisture content (to less than 40%) in the high-elevation
lysimeter and approximately 30% in the low-elevation lysimeter (Figures 11
and 12) . The difference in moisture contents of the two lysimeters reflects
the smaller amount of irrigation water applied for plant establishment to the
low-elevation lysimeter. The overall reduction in moisture content between
June 14 and September 1 in both lysimeters is the result of drainage and eva-
potranspiration.
Moisture Profiles During Plant Establishment Irrigation on High-Elevation
Lysimeter
Irrigation for plant establishment over the period of June 19 through
August 17 was applied to the high-elevation lysimeter in amounts approximately
100% greater than the daily pan evaporation rate. The purpose of this excess
irrigation was to simulate a 50 to 60 cm annual precipitation area in which
seasonal precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration. Thus this treatment was
designed to move water through the 150-cm uncompacted soil and shale zone and
out the drain system to produce data on the quality of percolate.
The July 15 readings, after the addition of 40 cm of water to the 40, 60,
and 80-cm soil-cover treatments, show the wetting front had moved to a depth
of 105 cm on the 2% slope soil-cover treatments and 135 cm on the 25% slope
soil-cover treatments. In contrast, water had already moved through the
150-cm depth on the soil control and was starting to drip from the lower
drain.
For each of the soil-cover treatments the July 15 readings indicate that
the moisture content of the soil is at near saturation (approximately 50%) .
The ability of the soil over shale to hold such a large volume of water is
the result of the great textural difference between the soil and underlying
retorted shale. Miller (1973) reports that any textural discontinuity that
affects pore size distribution will result in decreased water movement. Since
the shale layer is considerably coarser than the soil above it, the soil will
not conduct significant amounts of water until the pores are filled. Once
these pores are filled, a positive hydraulic pressure results, and water
moves into the underlying shale as shown by the September 1 moisture readings
(Figure 11) .
32
-------
To simulate a 40 to 60-cra annual precipitation zone, the high-elevation
lysimeters will be irrigated in the spring for a number of years to represent
the snowmelt recharge.
Moisture Profiles During Plant Establishment Irrigation on Low-Elevation
Lysimeter
Irrigation for plant establishment was applied to the low-elevation ly-
simeter at approximately the daily pan evaporation rate. The purpose of this
irrigation schedule was to supply sufficient moisture for plant establishment
but not enough to move water through the 150-cm profile. On low-elevation
disposal sites supporting an adequate plant cover, it is probable that mois-
ture will never percolate through the entire uncompacted profile. In the
future, no irrigation water will be applied to the low-elevation lysimeter.
By July 15 the soil-cover on the 60-cm and 80-cm soil-cover treatments
was near saturation (approximately 50%) but the underlying shale was still
dry (Figure 12). However, in the 40-cm of soil-cover treatments (both 2% and
25% slopes) moisture had penetrated into the spent shale. Apparently, the
20 cm of water applied by July 15 exceeded the water-holding capacity of the
40 cm of soil, and some deep percolation occurred.
The September 1 readings for the unleached soil-cover treatments show
moisture depletion in the soil cover and water penetration to only 105 cm.
(Figure 12). Apparently, before establishment of a substantial vegetative
cover in July, water moved deeper into the profile because irrigation was in
excess of evapotranspiration. By August, water was being depleted from the
profile because of greater evapotranspiration resulting from greater vegeta-
tion cover (Figure 12) .
In the soil control, moisture was distributed evenly throughout the
150-cm profile on both the 2% and 25% slopes. In contrast, the moisture in
the soil-cover treatments did not penetrate below 105 cm (Figure 13). The
difference in depth of moisture penetration between the soil control and
soil-cover treatments resulted from the abrupt textural boundary in the soil-
covered treatments as discussed earlier.
Moisture Content of Compacted Zone
Core samples were taken from the compacted zone on 3 May 1978. The com-
pacted zone was very difficult to drive the sampling tube into, as a result,
some depth increments were combined and only one core reached the bottom of
the compacted zone. The core samples were placed into soil moisture cans
immediately after sampling, weighed, dried for 48 hours at 100 C and re-
weighed. Note that the results are reported in percent moisture by weight
rather than in percent moisture by volume. After sampling the core holes
were filled with concrete.
In the high-elevation treatments where excess irrigation had been ap-
plied, the moisture in the compacted zone averaged 21.8%, this was comparable
to the 20.4% moisture in the overlying uncompacted zone (Table 5). On the
33
-------
low-elevation treatment receiving limited irrigation the water had penetrated
to a depth of 105 cm and the shale in the compacted zone contained 3-4% water.
The above data shows water moved through the uncompacted zone into the
compacted zone when excess water was applied.

Dashed line indicates the Interface of the uncompacted and the
compacted zones.
In the future, moisture will be monitored to determine if sufficient mois-
ture is depleted each growing season from the profile of the soil-cover treat-
ments to hold the following years snowmelt recharge. If sufficient depletion
does occur, it may be possible to hold the seasonal recharge in the soil cover
and thus prevent water from entering the shale. If water does penetrate the
retorted shale, the plant roots probably will not grow into the high pH shale
and the water will not be extracted. This process could eventually lead to
percolation of water through the disposal pile.
34
-------
In summary, the moisture data for the two lysimeters show that:
1. Excess water moved readily through the uncompacted zones and out of
the lower drain below the compacted zone in the retorted shale treat-
ments in the high-elevation lysimeters.
2. Under the conditions in 1 above the core samples show that water
moved through the uncompacted zone into the compacted zone.
3. On treatments with soil cover a larger volume of water was held in
the soil because of the abrupt textural change between the fine soil
and the underlying coarse shale.
4. On the unleached soil-cover treatments in the low-elevation lysi-
meters water penetrated only to a depth of 105 cm.
PERCOLATE
The percolate data has been summarized by graphing EC values against
total liters of percolate from the lysimeters (Figures 13 and 14). The daily
flow rates, pH, EC, and total liters of percolate for each treatment are
given in Appendix Tables 51 through 98.
The EC of the Colorado River irrigation water used during leaching and
plant establishment averaged about 1 mmhos/cm (Appendix Table 4), a sample of
the irrigation water was collected on June 3 for additional analysis (Appendix
Table 99).
The percolate data are discussed separately for the various treatments
within each lysimeters. Only the data from the lower drains (below the com-
pacted zone) are presented since 99% of the total volume of percolate was
from these drains. In the following discussion, the amount of percolate is
presented in terms of volume in liters and as a depth over the treatment area.
One cm of percolate from a 6.7 x 6.7 m treatment area equals 450 liters.
Note again that only the retorted shale and 20-cm soil-cover plots were
leached. Leaching was continuous, with a total of 76 to 78 cm of water ap-
plied from June 2 through June 15. The high-elevation lysimeter received
83.6 cm of irrigation water for plant establishment during the period of
June 19 through August 17; and the low-elevation lysimeter received 37,6 cm
of water over the same period.
High Elevation Lysimeter
Retorted Shale —
Percolate was beginning to flow from the lower drain of the 25% slope by
June 8, following the application of 31 cm of leach water. This initial per-
colate had an EC of 18.7 mmhos/cm and a pH of 8.2. By June 16, when leaching
was stopped, the EC had increased to a maximum of 31 mmhos/cm (Figure 13) and
the pH to 10.7. At this point a total of 8900 liters of percolate (19.7 cm)
or 26% of the total leach water applied had been collected.

-------
The lower drain of the 2% slope did not start flowing until June 10,
after 46 cm of water had been applied. The EC of the percolate reached a
maximum of 34.5 mmhos/cm on June 16. By the end of the leaching, 4790 liters
(10.6 cm) of percolate had been collected.
During plant establishment, water was applied in almost daily increments
of about 2 cm/day. The EC of the percolate decreased from 31 mmhos/cm (pH
10.7) on June 15 to 11 mmhos/cm (pH 8.6) on September 2 when a calculated one
pore volume of water had passed through the uncompacted zone of the 25% slope
(Appendix Table 51). One pore volume was calculated to be approximately
32,400 liters (72 cm) per 6.7 x 6.7-m plot with a depth of 150 cm. The poro-
sity in the uncompacted zone was calculated to be 47.5% assuming a bulk den-
sity of 1.36 g/cm-3 and a particle density of 2.60 g/cm^.
Although one pore volume of water did not pass through the 2% slope, the
EC decreased from a maximum of 34.5 mmhos/cm on June 16 to 17.3 mmhos/cm on
September 1 (Figure 13).
By September 1, a total of 9513 liters (21.1 cm) of percolate had been
collected from the 2% slope, and 34,110 liters (75.8 cm) had been collected
from the adjacent 25% slope treatment. This percolate represents 13% of the
total water applied on the 2% slope and 48% of the water applied on the 25%
slope.
The difference in the total amount of percolate between the two slopes
could be caused by one or more of the following factors: (1) The difference
in slope steepness may concentrate percolate faster at the lower drain on the
25% slope; (2) A possible greater compaction of the 2% slope (although the
compaction data do not show'a difference in the density values between slopes,
see Appendix Table 1; and (3) A larger area is being drained by the 25% slope
drain, because there is no dividing wall to separate the two slopes.
20-cm of Soil Cover —
During the leaching phase, the EC of the percolate from the 25% slope
reached a maximum of 28.4 mmhos/cm with a pH of 11 after 4715 liters (10.4 cm)
of percolate had been collected on June 17. On the 2% slope, the maximum EC
was 35.1 mmhos/cm (pH 11.2) on June 16 after 1651 liters (1.4 cm) of perco-
late had been collected.
During the plant establishment irrigation percolate from the 25% slope
treatment decreased in EC from 26.5 mmhos/cm (pH 10.7) on July 29 to 14.7
mmhos/cm (pH 9.6) on September 1 after a total of 24,637 liters (54.7 cm) of
percolate had been collected. By contrast, flow from the 2% slope treatment
practically stopped after the leaching phase; and only 254 liters of percolate
were collected between June 29 and September 1. Total percolate collected
from the 2% slope was 2179 liters (4.8 cm) by September 1.
40-cm of Soil Cover —
This treatment and the following high-elevation treatments were irriga-
ted (83.6 cm) during plant establishment, no water was applied for leaching
during the period between June 2-15.
37
-------
On August 1, after the application of 64.8 cm of water, the percolate
from the 25% slope had an EC of 24.4 mmhos/cm and a pH of 10.4. By September
1, a total of 3863 liters (8.6 cm) of percolate had been collected and the EC
of the percolate had decreased to 19.1 mmhos/cm with a pH of 10.6 (Appendix
Table 53).
On the 2% slope, only 94.7 liters (0.21 cm) of percolate were collected
between June 29 and September 1. The highest EC was 22.3 mmhos/cm with a pH
of 11.2 (Figure 13, Appendix Table 59).
60-cm of Soil Cover —
On the 25% slope, a total of 55.9 liters (0.12 cm) of percolate was col-
lected by September 1. The highest EC was 22.8 mmhos/cm with a pH of 8.4
(Figure 13, Appendix Table 54). No percolate was collected from the 2% slope.
80-cm Soil Cover —
The 25% slope lower drain started dripping on August 1. By September 1,
a total of 1771 liters (3.9 cm) had been collected. The EC reached a maxi-
mum of 22.3 mmhos/cm with a pH of 10.5 on August 8 after 200 liters (0.44 cm)
of percolate had been collected. The EC decreased to 15.5 mmhos/cm (pH 10.8)
by September 1. No percolate was collected from the 2% slope.
Soil Control —
The upper drain and compacted zone were not installed in the soil control
treatments. These treatment areas were filled with uncompacted soil material,
and the surfaces were shaped to 25% and 2% slopes with a small John Deere 667
tracked loader.
Percolate was observed dripping from the lower drain of the 25% slope on
August 1. The initial EC was 5.8 mmhos/cm with a pH of 7.2, and it reached
a maximum of 8.3 mmhos/cm on August 25 after 4990 liters (11.1 cm) of perco-
late had been collected. By September 1, the EC had decreased to 4.8 mmhos/cm.
The total percolate collected was 5649 liters (12.5 cm).
Only 219 liters (0.48 cm) of percolate was collected from the 2% slope
drain between August 1 and September 1. The maximum EC was 6 mmhos/cm, with
a pH of 7.7.
In summary, for the leached treatments in the high-elevation lysimeter,
a greater volume of percolate was collected from the 25% slope than from the
2% slope in each treatment; and a greater volume of percolate was collected
from the retorted shale treatment than from the 20 cm of soil-cover treatment.
A reduction in the EC and pH of the percolate was measured for each leached
treatment by the end of August. The greatest reduction was observed on the
retorted shale 25% slope treatment where the EC decreased from 31 mmhos/cm
(pH 10.7) to 11 mmhos/cm (pH 8.6) after one pore volume of water had passed
through the uncompacted zone.
On the unleached soil-cover treatments, there was some percolate from
the 25% slopes, but little or none from the 2% slopes.
38
-------
On the unleached soil control treatments water applied during plant
establishment moved through both the 2% and 25% slope treatments but the
largest volume of percolate was collected from the 25% slope. The maximum
EC measured on the soil percolate was 8.3 mmhos/cm and the average EC was
6 mmhos/cm.
Low-Elevation Lysimeter
Retorted Shale —
Over the leaching period of June 2-15 considerably less percolate was
collected from the low- than from the high-elevation lysimeter. But soluble
salt concentrations in the percolate were similar for both lysimeters.
On the 25% slope retorted shale treatment 580 liters (1.3 cm) of perco-
late was collected by June 16. This amount is in sharp contrast to the
8900 liters (19.7 cm) of percolate collected by this date from the same treat-
ment on the high-elevation lysimeter. The leach water input was nearly the
same in both lysimeters. The difference in percolate volume cannot be ex-
plained by the available data, but differences may exist in the amount of
water held in the compacted zone.
The maximum EC of the percolate during the leaching phase was 34 mmhos/
cm (Figure 14). During the irrigation for plant establishment only 126 liters
(0.3 cm) of percolate was collected, the EC of this percolate averaged 27
mmhos/cm (Appendix Table 75). Note that the low-elevation lysimeter received
considerably less irrigation (37.6 cm) during plant establishment than did
the high-elevation lysimeter (83.6 cm) .
There was slightly more percolate from the 2% slope than from the 25%
slope treatment (Figure 14, Appendix Tables 75 and 81). The EC of the perco-
late from the 2% slope averaged 22 mmhos/cm.
20-cm Soil Cover —
The initial percolate from the 25% slope was collected on June 8 and had
an EC of 26.7 mmhos/cm. By June 16, at the end of leaching, the EC had
dropped to 19.5 mmhos/cm and a total of 3307 liters (7.3 cm) of percolate had
been collected (Figure 14, Appendix Table 76).
During the plant establishment irrigation 1331 liters (3.0 cm) of perco-
late were collected. The EC of the percolate collected on September 1 was
21 mmhos/cm (Figure 14, Appendix Table 76).
The initial percolate from the 2% slope was collected on June 10 and had
an EC of 24.8 mmhos/cm. By June 16, 539 liters (1.2 cm) of percolate had
been collected.
During plant establishment irrigation, only 232 liters of percolate was
collected from the 2% slope. The EC of this percolate was 22 mmhos/cm on
July 28, which was the last date a sample was collected (Figure 14, Appendix
Table 82).

40-cm through 80-cm Soil Cover and Soil Control —
No percolate was collected from either drain on these treatments (Fig-
ure 14). Note that water penetrated only to a depth of 105 cm (Figure 12)
on these soil-cover treatments which received no leach water and 37.6 cm of
irrigation for plant establishment. Thus no percolate would be expected.
In summary, the total volume of percolate from the leached treatments
on the low-elevation lysimeters as very low except for the 20-cm soil-cover
treatment on the 25% slope where 4638 liters (10.3 cm) of percolate was col-
lected. The EC of the percolate ranged from a low of 14.0 mmhos/cm on the
2% slope 20-cm soil-cover treatment to a maximum of 34.0 mmhos/cm for the
25% slope retorted shale treatment.
No percolate was collected from the unleached soil-cover and soil con-
trol treatments.
Results from the two lysimeters show that the EC values of the percolate
water were similar; but that the total volume of percolate from the low-ele-
vation lysimeter was much less (Table 6). A general decrease in maximum EC
of the percolate with increase in soil-cover is shown for the high-elevation
lysimeter treatments (Table 6).
Percolate Water Quality
Analyses for EC, pH, TDS, and common cations and anions were made to do-
cument the quality of the percolate and to verify the field measurements of
EC and pH. Laboratory analyses of selected percolate samples from the lower
drain of the 25% slope retorted shale and soil control treatments on the
high-elevation lysimeter are shown in Table 7, all percolate analyses are in
Appendix Tables 100 through 106.
The EC determined in the laboratory analysis tended to be slightly
lower than those determined in the field (Appendix Tables 51-82). This dif-
ference probably occurred because some salt precipitation had occurred by the
time the laboratory analyses were made. The pH was considerably lower in the
laboratory analyses than in those made in the field. This result is consis-
tent with the findings of Skogerboe et al. (1978) who attribute the drop in
pH to oxidation of thiosulfate in the percolate.
Total dissolved solids and EC show a close relationship (Table 7, Appen-
dix Tables 100-106), with total dissolved solids expressed in ppm usually
being somewhat greater than EC expressed in ymhos/cm. This is a relationship
that might be expected in these concentrated solutions. In less concentrated
solutions (100 to 500 ymhos/cm) the conversion equation shown below is often
used (Richards, 1954).
0.64 x EC in mmhos/cm = ppm total dissolved solids
The soluble salt content of the percolate from the retorted shale treat-
ments is quite high. Since these salt contents are reflections of percola-
tion through 60-150 cm of retorted shale, and probably another 90 cm, as
apparently the water is moving through the compacted shale zone, it can be
41
-------
extrapolated that percolate moving through a retorted shale pile several
hundred meters thick could be extremely salty.
The SAR of the percolate from the retorted shale treatments is high
(Table 8, Appendix Tables 100 to 106). Thus, the percolate could pose soil
dispersion problems in irrigated agriculture. The SAR of the percolate from
the soil is at a moderate level indicating a possible sodium dispersion
hazard (Richards, 1954).

Trace Elements in Percolate
Percolate was collected for trace element analysis from each treatment
during both the leaching and plant establishment phases. Results of those
analyses are in Appendix Tables 129 through 135. An interpretation of the
data is not included in this report. For further information regarding pro-
cedures or interpretations, contact R.E. Wildung or Tom Garland, Battelle
Northwest Laboratory, Richland, Washington 99352.
CORE SAMPLE ANALYSIS
Analyses were made for EC, pH, and common cations and anions in the re-
torted shale treatments following leaching and plant establishment irrigation.
Core samples were taken on 1 September 1977 in the uncompacted zone of the
spent shale treatments. The soil-cover treatments were not core sampled.
The EC decreased from 7.1 mmhos/cm to 3.2 mmhos/cm on the retorted shale
from the high-elevation lysimeter and to 3.9 mmhos/cm on the low-elevation
lysimeter after leaching and plant establishment irrigation (Table 8).
The pH's of the core samples were within the narrow range of 8.8 to 9.4,
with a mean of 9.1. This is a considerable reduction in pH since the shale
exited the retort at a pH of about 11.4. Two factors are probably responsible:

* Mean value for four samples.
t Mean value for 23 to 45 core samples, all data are in Appendix Tables
107 and 108.
§ Analyses were on a 1:1 ratio of retorted shale to water by weight
extract.
1. Recarbonization from CO- in the atmosphere and leach water, and 2. Dis-
placement of alkaline anions (CO3 and possibly OH) by neutral salts in the
moderately saline irrigation water. It is impossible to tell from the lab-
oratory data how much recarbonation occurred in place and how much occurred
after the core samples were taken and prepared for laboratory analysis. Some
evidence for pH reduction in place is indicated by the reduced percolate pH
after extended leaching on 3 of 4 treatments that had substantial amounts
(>10 cm) of percolate (Appendix Tables 51, 52, 57, and 76).
The SAR decreased from 19.0 to 2.5 and 3.0 in the high- and low-elevation
lysimeters, respectively. This drop in SAR values shows that the irrigation
water was effective in removing the soluble sodium from the shale.
A high proportion of Mg to Ca showed up in the core sample extracts after
irrigation, particularly in surface samples, where there is 6 to 13 times more
water-extractable Mg than Ca (Appendix Tables 107 and 108). This could result
in a nutrient imbalance and might be a reason for the restricted plant growth
on the retorted shale treatments.
44
-------
Salinity sensors were installed, in the treatments and readings were made
periodically during leaching and plant establishment irrigation (Appendix
Tables 109-128). However, the sensor data appears to be erratic and is not
discussed in this report.
WATER BALANCE
Water balance calculations were made for all treatments in both lysi-
meters as of September 1, 1977. These calculations were made in an attempt
to account for the'total volume of water applied to each treatment. Since the
lysimeters are closed containers, it should be possible to measure the inputs
(precipitation, irrigation) and certain losses (percolation, moisture storage)
in the uncompacted zone. The evapotranspiration component of the calculation
was not measured directly on the lysimeters but was estimated for the study
site.
The water balance calculations in Table 9 are based on the following
parameters:
(1) Before leaching and irrigation, the retorted shale contained some
water as the result of water applied for dust control during the
filling operation, this averaged out to 7.4% by volume. The soil
cover contained an average of 19.9% moisture by volume (Appendix
Table 27-50).
(2) A total of 1570 liters of water was applied to the retorted shale
treatments during the wet-dry cycles. This volume equals 3.4 cm of
input water.
(3) The high-elevation lysimeter was leached with 76.7 cm, and the low-
elevation lysimeter was leached with 78.0 cm of water (as measured
by small rain gauges set on the lysimeters. Surface runoff did not
occur as the application rate did not exceed the infiltration rate.
(4) The percolate values used were the means of the 25% and 2% slope
treatments. The percolate from the upper drains accounted for less
than 1% of the total percolate volume and was not included in the
calculations.
(5) The water storage in the upper 150 cm was calculated from the
September 1 neutron probe readings. These values are the mean of
the 2% and 25% slope treatments.
(6) If there was percolate from the bottom drain, moisture storage in
the compacted zone was calculated by use of the core sample data
in Table 5 and a bulk density of 1.53.

(7) Evapotranspiration was calculated from the pan evaporation data and
compared with estimates by Wymore (1974) for the oil shale region
of western Colorado. The gross pan evaporation for the site was
approximately 61.5 cm of water between June 15 and September 1.
Since the pan evaporation is assumed to be greater than the actual
evapotranspiration on the plots an adjusted estimate based on the
work of Wymore (1974) was used. Wymore (1974) estimated evapo-
transpiration from a 5000 feet revegetated site seeded in June
would be 45.5 cm.
(8) The total precipitation received at the site between April sixth
and the first of September was included.
All the leached treatments on both lysimeters show more water applied
than can be accounted for by a summation of losses from ET, moisture storage
in the 150-cm uncompacted and 90-cm compacted zones, and percolate (Table 9).
By contrast, water losses calculated out to be greater than water inputs
for all the unleached soil-cover treatments (Table 9). Moisture measurements
on the soil control treatments most nearly balanced out the inputs and losses.

APPENDIX TABLE 9. RETORTED SHALE HANDLING AND SAMPLING PROCEDURES
FOR ANALYSES OF PARAHO RETORTED SHALE DURING
THE COMPACTION AND FILLING OPERATION PROCEDURE
PROVIDED BY DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING, INC.
1. Retorted shale from retort is diverted by a motorized flop gate
to a sample hopper.
2. Material is conveyed continuously from the hopper to a hammer-
mill crusher.
3. The crushed material drops through a seven-stage splitter where
a lab sample is obtained once every 24 hours. The balance of
the crushed material is discarded.
4. The laboratory sample is further split for various tests. The
split used for pH and conductivity requires no further prepara-
tion. Size distribution of this sample is given below:
Size Texture Wt %
>300 ym

5. pH and conductivity analysis were determined on a 1:1 sample by
weight according to procedures outlined in Saline and Alkali
Soils (USDA Handbook 60).

16. ABSTRACT
This study used lysimeters to develop both a lov-elevation (dry site) and a
high-elevation (moist site) disposal scheme for Paraho (direct-heated) retorted
shale. The objectives were to investigate: l) vegetative stabilization of the
surface of Paraho retorted shale and retorted shale covered with various soil
depths; and (2) water and salt movement through both uncompacted and compacted
Paraho retorted shale.
The lysimeters were constructed in western Colorado in 1976 and filled in
March 1977-
Only a sparse vegetation cover (5$ to 15$) was established on retorted shale
following fertilization, mulching, and irrigation. In contrast, adequate plant
cover (55$ to 85$) was established on the soil cover over retorted shale and on
soil control treatment areas.
Water balance calculations and drainage below the compacted zone indicated
that water had moved into and through the compacted zone in the leached treatment
areas. Further study is needed on the permeability of the compacted shale.
