<br /> <br />As quantitative relationships are developed and <br />proven valid, the model can be refined. Accumulated <br />information may then be used in the contingency plans to <br />aid in solving problems as they arise. Those parameters <br />which have limited relevance to expected effects can be <br />dropped from continuous monitoring. With this approach, <br />as the model is refined, the number of parameters <br />measured and the frequency of measurement can be reduced <br />or changed, maximizing the cost effectiveness of the <br />monitoring and reclamation programs. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />2.

It is expected <br />to save time and money for the White River Oil Shale <br />Corporation, allowing monitoring of the White River <br />ecosystem without measuring all possible factors, and <br />lead to mitigation when necessary. It is logical, <br />intuitively appealing, simple, and manageable. We <br />believe it is a beginning to logical monitoring and <br />correction of industrial impacts. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />7. <br /> <br />8. <br /> <br />Acknowledgements <br /> <br />9. <br /> <br />The authors express appreciation to James W. <br />Godlove, Environmental Affairs Coordinator and Rees C. <br />Madsen, Vice President of Administration for White River <br />Shale Oil Corporation. Their insight into the <br />environmental problems associated with oil shale <br />development has allowed this experiment in environmental <br />lua!lagement based upon ecosystem principles to begin. <br /> <br />10.
