Biological/chemical survey of Texoma and Capline sector salt dome brine disposal sites off Louisiana, 1978-1979 : a report to the Department of Energy on work conducted under provisions of interagency agreement EL-78-I-0-7146 during 1978-1979

"In compliance with the Energy Policy and conservation Act of 1975, Title 1, Part B (Public Law 94-163), the Department of Energy (DOE) implemented the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The SPR program was implemented in August of 1977 with the goal of storing a minimum of one billion barrels of crude oil by December 22, 1982. After evaluating several physical storage possibilities, DOE determined that storage in commercially developed salt dome cavities through solution-mining processes was the most economically and environmentally advantageous option"--Introduction, volume 1, paragraph 1. editors, William B.
