Then production will be increased to 150,000 tpy, if commercially feasible. A schedule for <br /> expanding the pilot plant to 75,000 and 150,000 tpy sodium bicarbonate production rate will <br /> be provided in separate Permit Applications. As indicated above, following construction of <br /> the pilot production facility, operations are expected to begin during August, 2000. This <br /> plant will be operated for approximately 5 years. The 75,000 and 150,000 tpy plants are <br /> then expected to begin operation after the pilot plant phase as the market develops. The <br /> 150,000 tpy production is then expected to be maintained for the remainder of the 30 year <br /> plant life. <br /> D-2.2 PROJECT STAFFING <br /> On-site construction activities are expected to require up to approximately 130 construction <br /> workers for the 50,000 tpy pilot plant. The estimated number of construction workers by <br /> month are shown in Table D-2.2. As can be seen from this table, the construction work <br /> force is expected to range from an estimated 15 to 130 workers. The peak construction <br /> work force is expected to occur during the Winter and Spring, 2000. <br /> Operation of the 50,000 tpy pilot plant is expected to require a permanent on-site staff of 20 <br /> to 25 people. This permanent staffing level also will be maintained when the plant is <br /> expanded to the 75,000 and 150,000 tpy production levels. <br /> G:\LM1M78545.00ZReclamationlReciamexh.DOC D-12 <br />
