or "off-stream" mining, and those whose water was not obtained from the
impacted source, are considered control sites (those which would not be
expected to demonstrate water-mediated health effects). Table 22 shows that
there are far more in the group of potential control sites (15) than in the
group of potential study sites (four).
FINAL" SITE SEU5CXIOIT
Based on the preceding steps, the candidates in Table 23 were derived.
Since the ultimate study sites will be selected from this list, an effort
was made to characterize these communities in some detail. In fact, all the
pertinent information which could easily be obtained from published data
sources was utilized in compiling Table 23.
There are two purposes to compiling this array of information: (1)
desirable and undesirable features of the communities for study purposes can
be easily identified, and (2) matching of sets of the communities can be
carried out using the characteristics in the table as criteria. For the
latter purpose, the items were categorized (Table 24). This facilitates
comparisons among the communities by making identification of approximate
equivalence a simple task of matching the numbers. With this layout of the
information, the similarities and differences between any pair of commu-
nities are easily identified. Finally, the geographic location of these
communities is depicted in Figure 15.
In order to confirm the accuracy of the list, the 19 study site
candidates were re-examined in detail on two criteria. First, the nature of
the drinking water source and its location relative to the mining activity
were clarified by contacting the municipal water suppliers. Coal mine
locations were verified using the U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1978 information.
Second, the degree of urbanization in areas surrounding study site candi-
dates was subjectively evaluated for its representativeness of western
mining areas. Factors given consideration in this evaluation were county
population density and proximity to a large city.
The clarification of the nature of the drinking water source and its
location in relation to the mining activity produced several changes in the
list of study site candidates. It was discovered that Kemmerer, Wyoming
could not be considered a study site as originally believed. Careful
examination of the local geography indicated that the mining activity was
downstream from the community's water intake. Consequently, Kemmerer was
changed to the category "control community." Meeker, Colorado, in Rio
Blanco County and Durango, Colorado, in LaPlata County were eliminated from
the list when it was discovered that their drinking water source was
groundwater. Walsenburg, Colorado, (Huerfano County) and Delta, Colorado,
(Delta County) were eliminated because they had multiple-source drinking
water supplies.

Evaluation of the degree of urbanization lead to the elimination of the
following Colorado communities: Berthoud in Larimer County; Erie,
Lafayette, Louisville, and Lyons in Boulder County; and Evans in Weld
County. All of these areas are unrepresentative of western mining areas due
to their proximity to the Boulder metropolitan area.
The revised list of study site candidates is presented in Table 25,
along with pertinent information about each community. There are two
purposes to compiling this array of information: desirable and undesirable
features of the communities for study purposes can be easily identified, and
matching of sets of the communities can be carried out using the character-
istics in the table as criteria. For the latter purpose, the items were
made categorical (Table 26). This facilitates comparisons among the
communities by making identification of approximate equivalence a simple
task of matching the numbers. With this layout of the information, the
similarities and differences between any pair of communities are easily
identified.
DETAILED CHARACTERIZATION OF STUDY SITE CANDIDATES
The nine remaining study sites have been examined in much greater
detail. The location and status of mining were verified, and data on
drinking and surface water quality parameters were tabulated.
The location and status of mining were verified by re-examining original
information sources. These sources included MILS (U.S. Bureau of Mines,
1978), U.S. Bureau of Mines Information Circulars 8719 (Corsentino, 1976)
and 8772 (Rich, 1978), and the Keystone Coal Industry Manual (Nielson,
1977). All available mining information was compiled in Table 25. In this
table, all of the mines near each of the communities are listed along with
data on that mine. The column titled "Dot No." in Table 27 refers to
mapping that was done on large detailed county maps (these maps are
discussed further below).
As discussed in Section 3, Research Methodology, surface water quality
data were acquired from the U.S. Geological Survey for many water monitoring
sites considered to be mining impacted or near communities considered to be
mining impacted. A list of the monitoring sites relevant to the nine
remaining communities was tabulated (Table 28) and the chemical analyses
were summarized (Tables 29-35). This included all monitors in the same
county as the community of interest and on the same stream from which the
community derives its public water supply. Water quality parameters in-
cluded were those which were believed to be potentially related to mining or
health and/or recorded for drinking water. The site number refers to the
location of that monitor on the detailed maps mentioned previously. The
distance, in miles, of the monitor from the community drinking water intake
is also provided.
The drinking water quality data is given in Tables 36 through 43 for
each community, and Table 44 summarizes this information. Analyses of

drinking water were not done at regular or frequent intervals making this
information adequate only for general comparisons.
One area of concern which was investigated in only a cursory manner is
the relationship between surface water quality and drinking water quality.
The treatment processes utilized by public water suppliers are quite
variable (see Appendix D) and the effect of these processes on specific
water constituents is often uncertain. Using the surface and drinking water
information for the nine study site candidates (eight water supplies),
rank-order correlations were computed (Table 45). Although the data is very
sparse, there is some indication that minerals are transmitted from surface
waters to drinking water. Unfortunately, there are too few data to draw any
inferences about trace elements.
In order to determine the relative positions of the surface water
monitoring sites, the drinking water intakes, and the mines, these three
items were plotted on detailed county maps. This illustrated whether the
mining was upstream or downstream from the drinking water intake and the
relative positions of monitoring sites and coal mining.
Criteria for Comparison of Candidates
Although the nine remaining study site candidates are homogeneous, in
that they were carefully selected to meet several criteria, significant
differences remain. Additional considerations were specified in order to
further reduce the list of candidate communities. It should be noted that
many of these considerations have elements of subjectivity, and the
researchers' judgments (based on all available empirical data) were used.
Quantity of Coal Mining—
Although all nine sites are potentially impacted by coal mining, there
is great variability in the annual coal tonnage produced in the areas. The
communities impacted by the greater rate of coal production are obviously
more desirable for study. Since mining serves as an indirect measure of a
potential exposure, more intense mining would be expected to produce greater
effects on the community's residents. Since the linkages from mining to
water pollution and from water pollution to health are tenuous, the study
sites should be selected to maximize the probability of detecting these
effects.
Relative Importance of"Coal Mining to the Community's Economy—
This factor is related to the size of the town, the quantity of the
mining, the proximity of mining to the town, and other economic activities
in the area. A given production level (tons of coal mined per year) has
different implications for a town of 1,000 than for a town of 15,000. Also
competing economic activities (e.g. , recreation) would tend to dilute the
importance of coal mining. Although epidemiologic studies require large
populations to obtain reliable disease rates, in this instance a small
population with few non-coal economic activities is most desirable because
small communities would be more intensively impacted by coal mining

activities and competing economic production would tend to dilute the
effects of coal mining. The chosen sites should experience as intense and
undiluted an impact of coal mining as possible.
Clarity of Water-Impacted Areas—
Although the categorization of communities as study or control sites is
presented as a dichotomy, the actual status of some communities is somewhere
between these extremes. To emphasize differences in community health based
on mining/water impacts, the study sites should fall neatly into one
category or the other, and not be ambiguous on this criterion.
Quality of Water Monitoring—
Surface water monitoring activities in the western coal mining areas
under consideration are quite variable both in the number of monitoring
stations and in the chemicals analyzed. Obviously, it is desirable to have
monitoring stations close to the drinking water intakes and to have those
stations analyzing such constituents as toxic metals in addition to usual
water parameters.
Presence of Air Monitoring—
There is some variability among the nine sites in the extent of air
quality sampling. It is advantageous for a community to have air quality
data available, in part because air quality may be affected by surface
mining. In addition, an epidemiologic survey should take air pollution
exposures into account as a significant influence on health.
Proximity to Control Sites—
The spatial arrangement of the nine study site candidates indicates a
cluster of communities (northwestern Colorado and southwestern Wyoming) with
two distant sites (Canon City, Colorado, and Sheridan, Wyoming). Choices
within the cluster are preferred since exposed and control sites (in terms
of mining/water impacts) can be close to one another. This allows for
matching of the two communities in terrain, climate, etc. , and also would
facilitate travel between them as required in an epidemiologic field study.
Availability of Other Information—
Several detailed studies of western coal areas have been completed, and
communities surveyed in such research documents are preferable. The level
of detail is variable, but often such topics as environmental quality,
socioeconomic character of the area, and projected changes consequent to
coal mining are covered. This criterion is based not on inherent character-
istics of the communities, but rather on the pragmatic advantage of being
able to utilize the material compiled by others.
Presence of Coal-Utilizing Facilities—
Since coal-utilizing facilities have their own potential environmental
and health impacts, it is Important that their presence be noted in site
selection, whether this factor increases or decreases desirability of a
site is not, however, entirely clear.
149
-------
Because coal burning pollutes the air and water through stack, releases
and leaching of bottom ash, the presence of such facilities makes isolation
of mining-based pollutant effects quite difficult. However, mine-mouth
electricity production is increasingly common at large western coal mines.
In fact, many of the large expansions are linked to coal-burning power plant
construction. Thus mining areas with coal-utilizing facilities would suffer
from greater difficulty in isolating mining effects but be better represent-
atives of the expanding western coal mining areas.
Community Profiles
The following sections provide an overview of the information readily
available on the nine study site candidates. These descriptions include
objective information on geographic and demographic characteristics as well
as subjective evaluations of the data quality (i.e., quantity of coal
mining, relative importance of coal mining, etc.). Table 46 provides a
categorical representation of each of those factors for all the communities.
Although such simplified schemes sacrifice some detail, it does provide a
summary of community profiles. Greater detail can be found in the text
which follows. ....-__.
Craig, Moffat County, Colorado—
The 1975 population of Craig, Colorado, was 5,426. The annual
population growth rate from 1970 to 1975, 5.5 percent, was somewhat higher
than the growth rate for the entire state (2.9 percent). The per capita
income in Craig is $4,833, considerably higher than the state average of
$4,030. Moffat County is located in the northwest corner of Colorado, and
approximately two-thirds of its inhabitants reside in Craig. The median age
in the county is 31.1 years, 10.5 percent of the residents being over 65.
More than 99 percent of the population is white.
Mining activity which would potentially have an impact on Craig's water
is located between 25 and 50 miles upstream in Routt County (east of Craig).
There are 18 mines in this area, 11 of them surface. They are all medium
size mines, each providing around one million tons per year. Projections of
future production are similar to levels of current production. The distance
between the mining activity and Craig's water intake would greatly dilute
any impacts that the mining might have on the drinking water quality. This
detracts from Craig's attractiveness as a study site, since its status with
respect to potential exposure would be somewhat tenuous. There are addi-
tional mines downstream from Craig, approximately eight to ten miles south-
west of town in Moffat County. Two of these are surface and one is
underground. An additional surface mine exists 28 miles southwest of Craig.
These are currently small producers (0.25 - 0.4 million tons per year) with
plans for up to three million tons by 1980.
Colorado Ute Electric Association has plans for start-up of a large (350
- 1,520 Megawatts) coal-fired electric generating facility just south of
Craig. This would be a major additional source of pollution, possibly
confounding and/or camouflaging impacts from mining pollution. This will
make mining impacts extremely difficult to detect if the facility is at the

mine mouth and/or located upstream from the drinking water intake. Agri-
culture is the only other activity which contributes significantly to the
economy.
Surface water quality monitoring is fairly thorough on the Yampa River
near Craig. There are three monitors within 11 miles of town, all of which
measure several mineral parameters and toxic metals. There are many addi-
tional monitors on the river further downstream. The air quality monitor in
Craig measures nitrates and sulfates as well as total suspended particulates
(TSP) and benzene soluble organic fraction (BSOF). Overall, the environ-
mental quality monitoring is relatively comprehensive in Craig as compared
to other communities under consideration.
Review of other data sources pertaining to this area indicates that the
United States Bureau of Land Management has published an Environmental
Impact Statement and Supplement concerning northwestern Colorado (U.S. Dept.
of the Interior, 1976). This region includes Craig, Hayden, Steamboat
Springs, and Rangely. This document would be valuable in identifying
features of the community pertinent to an epidemiological study, such as
current environmental quality and socioeconomic characteristics.
Craig is located in the cluster of candidate communities in northwestern
Colorado and southwestern Wyoming. Therefore, it would be well matched with
other communities within this cluster in terms of climate, geography, etc.
Also, it would be easily accessible from any of the other communities except
Sheridan, Wyoming, and Canon City, Colorado.
In summary, Craig's only major detriment is that it is not close to the
mining activity that would potentially impact its drinking water supply,
tending to dilute its status as a study vs. a control site. The mining in
the area does constitute a significant portion of the community's economy,
its major competitors being agriculture and electricity generation. The
environmental monitoring activity is comparatively good. It is in a favor-
able location relative to other potential study sites, and the United States
Bureau of Land Management's Comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement
would be quite useful.
Hayden, Routt County, Colorado—
Routt County is located in northwestern Colorado. The county population
is almost exclusively white (over 99 percent). The median age in the county
is 28.5 years; this is-fairly typical of the eight communities under con-
sideration. Hayden, with a population of 1,338 in 1975, is located in the
west-central portion of the county. It grew very rapidly between 1970 and
1975 (14.4 percent annually). The per capita income in the community,
$5,492, is relatively high compared to the other mining communities and the
state as a whole.
As was mentioned in the discussion of Craig, there are 18 mines in Routt
County. All but three of these mines are located between 0.5 and three
miles upstream from Hayden on the Yampa River drainage system. Nine of
those mines on the Yampa River drainage system are surface. The other three
153;
-------
mines, two surface and one underground, are approximately one and one-half
miles south of Craig. Currently, the mines in the county produce around ten
million tons per year. Production is estimated to increase to 15 million
tons per year by the early 1980's.
Other industries which contribute significantly to the economy of Routt
County are agriculture, coal-based electricity production, and recreation.
There Is a great deal~of"nearby mining which is directly upstream of
Hayden's drinking water supply. However, these impacts might be hidden or
confounded by pollution from the generating facility, if it is upstream from
the community. Often these facilities are built at the mine mouth, and
waste products are stored in piles that would be vulnerable to leaching
toxic substances into the water. Air pollution from the generating facility
would also have a potential impact on the health of the residents. In addi-
tion, the generating facility Is a significant competitor for the town's
labor resources.
All surface water quality parameters of interest are monitored eight
miles upstream and two miles downstream from Hayden. There are a number of
other monitors at various intervals upstream, but there is no regularity to
the measurements taken. A monitor 0.3 miles downstream analyzes for all the
toxic metals of interest. The air quality monitor in the area analyzes for
only TSP and BSOF. The overall environmental surveillance seems adequate
relative to other communities.
Hayden is in a location that would be easily accessible from all the
other communities under consideration except Sheridan, Wyoming, and Canon
City, Colorado. This would facilitate travel among study sites and matching
of communities.
The Northwest Colorado Environmental Impact Statement and Supplement by
the United States Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Dept. of the Interior,
1976) provides much information concerning Hayden that would be useful in
planning an epidemlological study.
From these criteria it appears that Hayden would be a desirable study
site. The only major potentially negative factor that must be considered is
the influence of a large electric generating facility.
Rangely, Rio Blanco County, Colorado—
Rio Blanco County is located in northwestern Colorado, and Rangely is
located in the northwestern part of the county. Approximately two-thirds of
its 5,349 inhabitants reside in the two communities of Meeker and Rangely.
The population is almost 99 percent white and somewhat younger than the
population in the other communities under consideration (the median age
being 26.9 years). Rangely's population of 1,792 (1975) residents increased
at an annual rate of 2.4 percent between 1970 and 1975. This growth rate is
slightly lower than that for the state of Colorado as a whole. Per capita
income in Rangely is $4,526.
154
-------
Tnere are three identified mines in Rio Blanco County. Only one of
these mines is in the vicinity of Rangely. This mine is approximately five
miles upstream from Rangely, situated on a major tributary of the White
River. It is expected to increase its production gradually with a goal of
3.7 million tons per year by 1990. Included in this mining complex are two
underground and one surface mine. Two other mines are located in the
eastern portion of the county near Meeker. Other energy-related activities
near Rangely may include an oil shale mine and plant and a coal-fired
electricity generating facility. Plans for both of these operations are
tentative with indefinite start-up dates. At the present time, mining and
agriculture are the only major economic activities in Rio Blanco County.
The only surface water monitor which would provide information useful
for a study is four miles upstream from Rangely, between the community's
water intake and the mine. This monitor is analyzing all pertinent para-
meters except nitrates. There are other monitors on the White River, but
they are too far upstream from Rangely to be of use. The air quality moni-
tor in the vicinity of Rangely is providing information on nitrates and
sulfates as well as TSP and BSOF. Overall, the environmental quality inform-
ation is adequate relative to other sites, although it would be useful to
have surface water quality data from directly upstream of the mine.
The cluster of communities in northwestern Colorado and southwestern
Wyoming includes Rangely. Therefore, Rangely would be readily accessible
from any of these communities and fairly well matched with them in terms of
such parameters as altitude, geography, and climate. Rangely is also in-
cluded in the Environmental Impact Statement covering northwestern Colorado
by the United States Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Dept. of the Interior,
1976).
In summary, Rangely's status as a study community is adequately clear,
although a larger amount of mining would have a greater and thus more
readily detectable impact. There is little other activity in the area to
confound the study as the plans for oil shale mining and electricity pro-
duction are very tentative and are not expected to be pursued in the near
future. The environmental data is not as complete as would be desired.
There is published information available concerning the area, and it is
close to most of the other communities under consideration.
Canon City, Fremont County, Colorado—
Canon City is a community with approximately 13,000 residents located in
central Colorado. Between 1970 and 1975 its population grew at an annual
rate of 3.1 percent, which is very similar to the growth rate for the entire
state of Colorado (2.9 percent). The per capita income was only $3,658 in
1974, lower than the state average of $4,030. Fremont County has a popula-
tion which is fairly old (median age of 35.9) and- almost exclusively white
(98.2 percent). Approximately half the residents of Fremont County live in
Canon City. Mining activities in the vicinity of Canon City are concen-
trated approximately ten miles to the southeast, directly south of Florence
and east of the San Isabel National Forest. A total of ten mines were
determined to be active in the area according to the sources described
155
-------
earlier.. There is approximately an even mix of surface and underground
mines and all are of moderate size. The largest estimated annual tonnage
for any mine is 0.07 million tons, and both current and future total annual
tonnages for the region are only 0.1 million tons. This makes Canon City
one of the least desirable sites in terms of coal production. Furthermore,
the population is large (for this part of the state) and somewhat distant
from the mines. According to the criteria outlined earlier, both of these
factors tend to dilute the impact of"coal mining, and thus discourage
selection of Canon City as a study site.
Canon City's designation as being free of coal mining impacts on
drinking water is quite clear. The drinking water intake is located a short
distance upstream from town on the Arkansas River, while drainage from the
mined areas enters the Arkansas River more than five miles downstream from
Canon City.
Water quality monitoring on the Arkansas River near Canon City is rather
poor. Although there are three monitors within ten miles, and one within
one mile, none analyze for toxic metals. Only the most basic mineral char-
acteristics of the water are reported. An air quality monitor located in
Canon City records TSP (total suspended particulates) and BSOF (benzene
soluble organic fraction).
Relative to other study site candidates, Canon City is isolated. The
nearest community on the list is over 200 miles away, which would be a major
inconvenience in executing a field study of Canon City and another
community.
Finally, a search for other data sources specifically relevant to the
Canon City area produced virtually no information. This seems to reflect
the impression that this part of the west is not a critical element in coal
energy development.
Overall, the only major desirable features of Canon City as an investi-
gation site are the clarity of its designation as a control site and pres-
ence of an air quality monitor. The undesirable features include relatively
distant and small coal mines, large population, little surface water analy-
sis, and absence of any useful site-specific studies.
Steamboat Springs, Routt County, Colorado—
Steamboat Springs is located in the east-central portion of Routt County
which is in northwestern Colorado. The median income in Steamboat Springs,
$6,219, is substantially higher than that in the other communities under
consideration as well as the state as a whole. The population of the com-
munity grew 5.5 percent annually between 1970 and 1975. Routt County's
population is almost exclusively white (over 99 percent). The age distri-
bution in the county is similar to that for most of the other communities,
the median age being 28.5 years with 9.7 percent of the population over 65.
There is extensive mining in Routt County approximately one to three
miles west (downstream) of Steamboat Springs. Consequently, its status as a
156
-------
control community is unequivocal. The mines in the county are currently
producing approximately ten million tons per year, and it is estimated that
they will be producing 15 million tons per year by the early 1980's. A
significant proportion of the economy in Steamboat Springs is derived from
the recreation business, as the community is basically a ski resort area.
The relatively transient population in resort areas makes them undesirable
candidates for an epidemiologic study. Agriculture also has a significant
role in the economic activities of~the area.
Steamboat Springs takes its public water supply from the Fish Creek, a
tributary of the Yampa River. There is a monitoring station on Fish Creek
approximately two miles downstream from the community's water intake. The
monitor is located Just upstream from the confluence of the two streams.
This monitor is measuring only three of the water quality parameters under
consideration: pH, nitrates, and sulfates. There are numerous monitoring
sites on the Yampa River downstream from Steamboat Springs. However, since
the Fish Creek is not a major tributary of the river, information provided
by Yampa River monitors would not provide information specific to this com-
munity. Air quality parameters measured in the area of Steamboat Springs
are nitrates, sulfates, TSP, and BSOF. - - -
The Northwestern Colorado Environmental Impact Statement by the United
States Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Dept. of the Interior, 1976) contains
information concerning the area of Steamboat Springs that would be very use-
ful in designing and implementing an epidemiologic study. In addition,
Steamboat Springs is in a favorable location relative to most of the other
communities under consideration, as part of the cluster of communities in
northwestern Colorado and southwestern Wyoming.
Although there are several factors concerning Steamboat Springs that
make it attractive as a control site (location, amount and location of
mining, availability of supplemental data), there are also conditions which
are undesirable in epidemiological studies, most specifically the transient
population consequent to the resort activity.
Green River, Sweetwater County, Wyoming—
Sweetwater County is in the southwestern portion of Wyoming. Its popu-
lation is 97.5 percent white, and the age distribution of the population is
similar to that of the other areas under consideration as study sites, the
median age being 28.9 years with 9.6 percent of the population over 65.
Most of the 30,000 residents of Sweetwater County live in either Green River
or Rock Springs. Green River's population in 1975 was 7,423. The community
grew rapidly between the years of 1970 and 1975 (almost 15 percent annual-
ly). The median income in 1974 was $4,937, which is somewhat higher than
the median income for the state as a whole ($4,566).
There are three surface mines in Sweetwater County which will have an
estimated production of approximately 13 million tons per year by 1984.
Three underground mines in the county will not be contributing significantly
to this production. The mining is located east of Green River in the cen-
tral part of the county (one mine being located in the extreme eastern
157
-------
part of the county). The drainage from all the mining areas flows into
completely different systems of streams than the one from which Green River
takes its water supply. Consequently, the drinking water in this community
will not be impacted by the mining. Mining is the primary economic activity
in the county; manufacturing and agriculture also contribute substantially.
The percent of the county population employed in mining, manufacturing, and
agriculture is 19.2, 8.1, and 3.8 percent, respectively, with 38.0 percent
of the total"county population employed.
The water monitoring activity on the Green River (from which the
community of Green River takes its public water supply) is satisfactory.
The dissolved minerals of interest (calcium, magnesium, sodium, and sulfate)
are measured 4.4 miles upstream and 2.5 miles downstream from the intake
point. The monitor 2.5 miles downstream also provides data on the toxic
metals of interest (cadmium, chromium, arsenic, copper, and lead). Infor-
mation on these metals from upstream is only provided by a monitor 50 miles
away. There are many other monitors both upstream and downstream which are
analyzing for the minerals of interest. Total suspended particulates (TSP)
is the only relevant air quality parameter which is being measured in the
vicinity-of Green River. — - - —• — -
There are two sources of supplemental information on Green River: the
Southwestern Wyoming Environmental Impact Statement by the United States
Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Dept. of the Interior, 1978) and United
States Geological Survey Hydrology and Economic Development Report (Lowham
et al., 1976). This information would prove very useful in designing and
implementing an epidemiologlc study.
Another desirable feature of the Green River area is that it is part of
the cluster of communities in southwestern Wyoming and northwestern
Colorado. Therefore, it would be easily accessible from all of the other
communities under consideration except Sheridan, Wyoming, and Canon City,
Colorado.
A negative influence on Green River's desirability as a control site for
an epidemiologic study is its size. Its population is more than twice as
large as most of the other communities under consideration. This is also
reflected in the percentage of the county population employed in
manufacturing. The extent'of the impact of community size and the manu-
facturing industry will depend on the type and amount of manufacturing
located within the. community. An industry with extensive pollution
potential would be a problem in that impacts of this pollution would
camouflage the presence or absence of mining impacts.
Kemmerer, Lincoln County, Wyoming—
Lincoln County is located in the southwest corner of Wyoming. Its
population of approximately 10,000 residents is almost 100 percent white and
somewhat younger than the population of other areas under discussion, the
median age being 26.7 years. Kemmerer is located in the south-central
portion of the county. The population of Kemmerer grew at a rate of 3.0
percent annually between 1970 and 1975 to reach a 1975 population of 2,658.

Its per capita Income In 1974 was $4,478. Both Kemmerer's growth rate and
per capita Income are very close to those figures for the state as a whole
(2.6 percent and $4,566, respectively).
There are four large surface mines in Lincoln County 6-12 miles
southwest of Kemmerer. The drainage from the mined area enters the stream
supplying Kemmerer's drinking water downstream from the intake point. Thus,
Kemmerer is clearly not mining/water impacted. The current production of
4 million tons per year is expected to increase to 9 1/2 million tons per
year in the near future. Agriculture is the other major economic activity in
the area of Kemmerer. There is a coal-based electricity generating facility
in the vicinity of Kemmerer, which is expected to double its output in
the near future. This additional source of pollution would make iso-
lation of mining Impacts difficult if the facility is upstream from the
intake for the community's water supply. In such a location, the facility
would have a potential impact on the water supply that would be labeled
"nonimpacted" for the purposes of the study.
There are two surface water quality monitors near Kemmerer; one
is 20 miles upstream and one is 3 miles downstream. Neither monitor ana-
lyzes all the parameters of interest. The monitor upstream provides
information on all the minerals but none on toxic metals. The other pro-
vides data on all the toxic metals and most of the minerals. There is
no air quality monitoring activity in the area.
There are two useful sources of information and data specific to Kemmerer.
These include the Southwestern Wyoming Evironmental Impact Statement by the
U.S. Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Dept. of the Interior, 1978), U.S.
Geological Survey Hydrology and Economic Development Report (Lowham et al.,
1976). Information provided in these documents would be extremely useful
in designing and implementing an epidemiological study.
Kemmerer is located in a position relative to the other communities
that make it easily accessible from all areas except Sheridan, Wyoming
and Canon City, Colorado.
Although the environmental monitoring in the area of Kemmerer
is not completely satisfactory, it alone would not be a basis for exclu-
sion. However, the question of the effect of the electricity generating
facility is extremely important and needs to be examined further. Other
factors such as the amount of mining and the availability of supplemental
information are positive influences in Kemmerer's desirability as a study
site.
Rock Springs, Sweetwater County, Wyoming—
Rock Springs is approximately in the center of Sweetwater County,
which is located in southwestern Wyoming. Of the 30,144 inhabitants of
Sweetwater County, 17,773 (over half) reside in Rock Springs. The population
of the country is 97.5 percent white, the median age is 29.9 with 9.6 percent
of the population over 65. The median income of the residents of Rock Springs
is $4,358. The community grew at _an annual rate of 10.0 percent between 1970
159
-------
and 1975. The growth rate of Rock Springs Is considerably higher than that
value for the state as a whole (2.6 percent).
There are three surface mines in Sweetwater County which will have an
estimated production of 13 million tons per year by 1984. The three
underground mines in the county will not be contributing significantly to
this production. The mining is located to the north, east, and south of
Bock Springs. Since Rock Springs takes its water supply from the same
source as Green River, its drinking water will not be impacted by the
mining. As was mentioned in the discussion of Green River, the drainage
from the mined areas flows into systems of streams that are completely
separate from the stream supplying drinking water to the two communities.
The three major economic activities in the county are mining, manu-
facturing, and agriculture; 19.2, 8.1, and 3.8 percent of the population are
employed in each of these areas, respectively. It is reasonable to assume
that most of the manufacturing activity is taking place in the community of
Rock Springs, since a large proportion of the county population is
concentrated there. This could present a problem, depending on the nature
of the manufacturing. If the manufacturing pollutes the area sufficiently
to produce health impacts, it would be difficult to attribute the presence
or absence of health effects directly to the mining activity. In addition,
the size of Rock Springs is very atypical of the communities under
consideration as study sites. The relatively larger amount of traffic and
different social environment of a larger community could have a significant
impact on the health of the residents.
The surface water quality monitoring pertinent to Rock Springs is the
same as that for Green River, since the two communities share the same water
supply. As was discussed with respect to Green River, this monitoring
activity is satisfactory but not ideal. There are three air quality moni-
tors in the area of Rock Springs. Total suspended particulates (TSP) is the
only relevant air quality parameter measured by each of them.
There are two sources of supplemental information concerning the area of
Rock Springs: the Southwestern Wyoming Environmental Impact Statement by
the United States Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Dept. of the Interior,
1978) and the United States Geological Survey Hydrology and Economic
Development Report (Lowham et al., 1976). Rock Springs is part of the
cluster of communities in southwestern Wyoming and northwestern Colorado.
Both of these points are positive factors concerning the choice of Rock
Springs as a control site for an epidemiological study. Other assets are
the amount and location of mining in the area, but the size of Rock Springs
makes it rather undesirable.
Sheridan, Sheridan County, Wyoming—
Sheridan County is located in north-central Wyoming. Its population is
mostly white. The residents in the county are considerably older than in
most areas under consideration as study sites. The median age is 36.8, and
15.9 percent of the population is over 65. About 60 percent of the county's
19,924 inhabitants reside in the community of Sheridan. This community grew
160
-------
at a much slower rate than other communities under consideration as well as
the state as a whole. Between 1970 and 1975 the annual growth rate was only
1.3 percent annually. The per capita income for the community of Sheridan
($4,551) is very similar to that for the state as a whole ($4,566).
The 11.5 million tons of coal mines per year in the vicinity of Sheridan
are taken from five surface mines. This production is expected to increase
to a total of 47 million-tons of coal per year by 1985. This mining is
located between approximately six and 30 miles downstream from the community
of Sheridan. Since the community takes its water supply from several miles
upstream, the mining will have no impact on its drinking water supply.
Agriculture is the only other major economic activity in the county. There
is a small amount of manufacturing in the county which is most likely
located in the community of Sheridan.
A medium sized coal-fired electricity generating facility is being
constructed in the area of Sheridan. As has been discussed, pollution from
such a facility may camouflage or confound mining impacts.
The closest surface water quality monitoring activity to the community
of Sheridan is approximately one mile downstream. At this site, and another
one seven miles upstream from the community, measures of pH, nitrates, hard-
ness, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and sulfates are taken. The nearest
monitor providing data on concentrations of the toxic metals of interest is
almost 11 miles downstream from the community of Sheridan. The only
relevant air quality parameter being measured in this area is TSP.
With Sheridan serving as a control site, travel between study site and
control site would be difficult and time consuming, as Sheridan is many
miles from any of the other communities under consideration. All of the
candidate communities except Sheridan, Wyoming, and Canon City, Colorado are
close enough together that travel between-any pair of them would be
relatively easy.
There are two sources of data concerning the area of Sheridan: Effects
of Coal Strip Mining on Water Quality (Dettman et al. , 1976) and Land
Reclamation Annual Report (Carter et al. , 1978). These would be of some use
in designing and implementing an epideiniologic study.
In summary, there are several factors which make Sheridan attractive as
a choice of a control site in an epidemiological study. The mining in the
area is extensive and will clearly have no impact on the community's water.
In addition, mining is a relatively large part of the community's economy.
However, there is a medium sized coal-fired electricity generating facility
in the area; the surface water quality data as well as sources of additional
information are of limited use; and Sheridan is not' in a desirable geo-
graphic location for a study such as the one under consideration.
