Parachute Site -Based on a discussion with Larry Shults, the EIS will analyze the "preferred site". The EIS cannot analyze the entire azea shown on Figure 1-2H. If American Soda would prefer the EIS to analyze specific, alternate sites, then specific information on the project site components, size, etc. would have to be provided for the impact analysis. Proceed on the basis that the preferred site is the location for the lower plant. 2. Additional information on the "preferred site" is needed such as azea to be developed, project components, what happens to the remainder of the land and facilities, etc. The lower plant site is the existing UNOCAL Parachute refinery facility. Most of the utility, steam generation, water treatment, and cooling tower equipment areas of the facility will be reactivated as will be the ancillary buildings and railroad spur on the site. A revised drawing (02-G-002B) of the site from Kvaerner Metals was provided on our FTP site and a hard copy is attached. Many of the previous structures have been removed by UNOCAL (e.g., piperacks and hydrocarbon processing structures). Most of the existing buildings will be tesed by American Soda. A description of facilities from Kvaerner Metals is attached for your reference. American Soda's operation will involve some construction of new facilities. The entire area on which the new facilities will be constructed has been previously disturbed to some extent as part of UNOCAL's development. In order to reasonably discuss "new development/disturbance" at the Parachute Site, we have considered those areas that may have had some disturbance in the past but do not currently have a concrete pad, road, or other such direct development as "new development". These areas include weed fields and vegetated areas in and around the existing development. Those facilities that will entirely or partly constitute "new development" are su,n,narized below. The facilities can be found on Kvaerner's drawing 02-G-002B. Note that the Parachute Site will include four (4) ponds. • The constriction laydozun area is ,nostly located on an existing concrete pad. However, about 3.2 acres of the lnydown Wren is located on undeveloped ground. Because the area will be used for constriction lnydozun and prefabrication, clenring and leveling for work areas and materials storage n,ay occ:~r over all of the 3.2 acres. `.;; ~,,: I
