<br />1.5.2 Processing <br />The main products to be produced by the Yankee Gulch Project are soda ash and <br />sodium bicarbonate. Soda ash is used in manufacturing glass, chemicals, pulp and <br />paper, soaps and detergents, water treatment products, cleaning preparations, and <br />other products. Sodium bicarbonate is used in manufacturing effervescent salts and <br />beverages, baking powder, sodium salts, pharmaceuticals, cleaning preparations, <br />laboratory reagents, antacids, and other products (Lewis 1992). <br />For American Soda's proposed commercial operation, processing of the mined <br />nahcolite will occur at two facilities. Initial processing will be performed at the <br />Piceance Site, and final processing will occur at the Parachute Site. <br />• <br /> <br />American Soda, L.L.P. 1-5 <br />Commercial Mme Plan <br />August 18, 1998 <br />
