facility. An alternate route being considered would proceed from the County Road 91 and <br /> Yellow Creek crossing northerly 5,200 feet along the BLM waterline, thence northeasterly <br /> 2,000 feet to the proposed facility as shown on existing Figure C-1. <br /> Power will be provided by a White River Electric Association transmission line. The line is <br /> expected to be approximately 4.8 miles long to the lease boundary. Current plans are to <br /> route the line from the existing 24 kv distribution line in Section 25, Township 1 South, <br /> Range 98 West. The line will then proceed west/northwest through or along Sections 23, 22 <br /> and 21, and into the Lease area in Section 20, as described in Section D-1.6 Project Site <br /> Development. <br /> Telephone and other communications service for the phase one pilot plant will be provided <br /> via a communications cable from the existing cable which runs along County Road 24. The <br /> new communications cable will be approximately 1.4 miles long and will start in Section 29 <br /> and run through Sections 30 and 19 before entering the Lease area in Section 20. This <br /> route will follow the proposed plant access road which is in Sections 29, 30 and 19. An <br /> alternate route being considered for the communication cable would involve burying the <br /> cable in the alternate right-of-way for the natural gas pipeline as shown on Figure C-1. <br /> During the experimental pilot plant phase of the project, sodium bicarbonate will be trucked <br /> to a rail loading facility in Rifle. The loading facility will include a new railroad spur to be built <br /> in an existing industrial development. The sodium bicarbonate will be loaded into railcars <br /> via a platform that bridges the railroad and will have a spout to direct the sodium <br /> bicarbonate into the rail cars. Dust will be controlled with a dust collector located near the <br /> spout. <br /> D-5 UTILITIES <br /> D-5.1 UTILITY SYSTEM SUMMARY <br /> The pilot plant will require a utility system to provide raw water; instrument and utility air; <br /> electricity; natural gas; liquid fuels; and CO2. These components of the utility system are <br /> summarized below. Additional details on water availability/source, conveyance, storage, <br /> and quantity; natural gas source, conveyance, and quantity; and electricity or power source, <br /> conveyance, and quantity follows the utility summary. <br /> • Raw Water Supply- Fresh water for the plant will be pumped from wells on the property <br /> into an outdoor, 250,000 gallon storage tank and possibly an 80 acre-foot storage pond <br /> for all plant needs including sanitary water. <br /> G:\LM\AA78545.002\Reclamation\Reclamexh.DOC D-39 <br />
