2. West Virginia’s Water Supply Major River Discharges (Million Gallons per Day) Ohio River at Point Pleasant48,000 Kanawha River 9,700 Monongahela River at Pt. Marion 3,200 Potomac at Hagerstown MD 2,700 Little Kanawha at Parkersburg 1,500 Total65,100

3. Major water use in West Virginia in 2004 Mgal/day Surface withdrawals: 4,641 Groundwater: 146 Total withdrawals: 4,787

4. Typical water consumption rates for new coal-based energy projects Energy Developmentgal/day gal/min 10,000 bpd CTL plant3.0M2,100 800 MW PC power plant9.3M6,500 75 MW FBC power plant0.9M 600

5. Water requirements for large well completion projects gallons Oil well frac, vertical: 1.2M Oil well frac, horizontal: 3.6M

6. Task 1. Water Availability And Use Assessment Evaluate water quantity and quality requirements –CTL or power plants –CCS projects –enhanced oil and gas production –renewable energy plants. Survey-level characterization of water resources that could support new energy projects: –surface water –conventional groundwater –unconventional groundwater e.g. flooded mine pools. Assessments will be based on known information.

7. Task 2. Resource Base Development Identify and characterize surface and groundwater resources across the State inasmuch as they relate to new energy development Incorporate this information into a GIS platform available to interested parties.

8. Task 3. Focus Group Workshops A focused workshop will be held to identify water resources and potential users of this information Workshops will be targeted to select individuals who have key insight to the respective technology areas

9. Deliverables Assessment of water requirements for new energy facilities and of available water resources A strategy for developing a systematic database for water resource information as it relates to new energy development within the State.
