<br />eJ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />L - z.. - '11 : <br /> <br />~>- <br /> <br />(\; <br />..... <br /> <br />" '\ <br />c. <br />-~ <br />...... ~. <br /> <br />W. R. GRACE & CO. <br />AQUATRAIN PROGRAM SCRIPT <br />(R6. 2) /9t/) <br /> <br />(Old-Timer Voice) <br />A long time ago, folks out west decided water was too valuable to just let it <br />spill into the ocean. Heck, ocean didn't need it! So, they figured out ways <br />to catch it, 'fore it got away. Good thing they did, too....shore need it now. <br />The only extry water around is bad water....always has been plenty 0' that.... <br />just a pity there ain't no use fer it. <br /> <br />(Announcer) <br />W. R. Grace & Co. now presents an innovative new technology designed to make <br />good use of bad water. AQUATRAIN, an advanced pipeline system for transporting <br />encapsulated coal with saline water. <br /> <br />W. R. Grace & Co., a diversified, multinational corporation and innovative U.S. <br />coal producer is proposing the AQUATRAIN project as a cooperative effort of <br />Western agriculture and water interests, energy industries, and governments. <br />The project has two purposes: First, to reduce the salt content of the Colorado <br />River; and, second, to provide economical west-bound transportation for Colorado- <br />Utah coal. <br /> <br />Colorado and Utah have abundant coal reserves. And much of it is high quality <br />steam coal, low in sulfur and higher in heat value than most western coal. But, <br />most of it remains in the ground--it isn't available for either domestic use or <br />export because'the cost of transporting it is just too high. <br /> <br />Railroads are the most common method of hauling coal, even in some parts of the <br />West. But, west of the Continental Divide, rail lines are few, the topography <br />is rough, and new lines are very expensive. As a result, it costs more to move <br />the coal than the coal itself is worth. Rail rates have increased sharply in <br />recent years, and the trend continues. <br /> <br />In addition, the hauling of large quantities of coal by rail may create unac- <br />ceptable social or environmental impacts. For example, mile-long coal trains <br />can't move unnoticed through Los Angeles or other California cities. <br />
