APPENDIX B IMPACT STATEMENT APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT YANKEE GULCH SODIUM MINERALS PROJECT PARACHUTE PROCESSING OPERATION EXPANSION 1.0 DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED SPECIAL USE 1. 1 Introduction This Application for a Special Use Permit is being submitted by American Soda, L.L.P. (American Soda) in support of the proposed expansion of its Parachute Processing Operation [Parachute Site). In brief, American Soda proposes to increase its capacity to produce soda ash from approximately 800,000 tons per year to 3 million tons per year and sodium bicarbonate from approximately 150,0CXJ tons per year to approximately 450,CXJO tons per year. The vast majority of the finished sodium products produced under this expansion would be shipped from the Parachute Site by rail using American Soda's previously permitted rail spur. , The proposed Parachute Site expansion would be conducted entirely within American Soda's current 1,000-acre property boundary and would not require the purchase of additional adjacent property. While the Parachute Site is zoned a Agricultural" by Garfield County, the proposed special use of the site would involve no conversion of agricultural land because the areas proposed for development of the expanded processing facilities are currently industrial in character. 1. 2 Project Location The Parachute Site is located on private property in the Parachute Creek valley in Sections 34 and 35 of Township 6 South, Range 96 West and Sections 2 and 3 of Township 7 South, Range 96 West of the srn Principal Meridian in Garfield County, Colorado. Access to the Parachute Site is provided by Interstate 70 and Garfield County Road 215 (Parachute Creek Road). Figures 1 and 2 provide maps showing the location and overall layout of American Soda's Parachute Site with the proposed expansion of processing facilities. 1. 3 Site Plan Description The expansion of the Parachute Site Processing Operation would generally include the installation of additional soda ash and sodium bicarbonate process equipment, a large addition to the soda ash wing of the process building, construction of additional soda ash storage silos, an additional product conveyor, and additional railroad trackage near the product storage silos and railcar load out building. In the future, the construction of additional evaporation ponds may be required sooner than would be the case with American Soda's current production rates. ~ror~I Use Permit Yankee Gulch 5oOiurn Minerah ~ ~Parachute Proasslng Oper.IOOll Arilerican Soda. LLP. 1 Figure 3 identifies the specific facilities that would be developed at the Parachute Site as part of the proposed expansion . The following is a more detailed description of the new facilities that would be constructed as part of the proposed expansion. The most significant aspect of the proposed expansion is the addition of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate production capacity to the facility. This will require the expansion of the existing process building. rather than construction of new process buildings. The existing process building is T-shaped with the soda ash production area occupying one wing of the building and the sodium bicarbonate production area occupying the other. The soda ash production area features a linear process stream where the product is crystallized, dried, screened and stored in silos prior to shipment. In the soda ash area, the proposed expansion would essentially add two duplicate process streams side by side with the existing process streams. In t.erms of its physical dimensions, the process building expansion of the soda ash wing would measure about 160-feet-wide by 380-feet- long by 128-feet-high, which would house two additional soda ash production lines . Similarly, the expansion of sodium bicarbonate production will also require expansion of the process building. In terms of its physical dimensions, the process building expansion of the sodium bicarbonate wing would measure about 160-feet-wide by 180-feet-long by 128-feet-high, which would house two additional sodium bicarbonate production lines [Figure 3). As is currently the case, the expanded process building would be a braced steel-frame structure with a concrete foundation and slab . In addition to the process building, there would be three to six new soda ash storage silos added to the Parachute Site . These new silos would be located immediately west of the three existing 5,000 ton soda ash silos . American Soda would either add six identical 5,000 ton silos, which measure approximately 55 feet in diameter and about 107 feet high, or add three 10,000 to 12,000 ton silos roughly double the size of the existing silos (Figure 3). To transport the increased soda ash produced, an additional conveyor belt would be installed to carry the product from the process building to the new silos and on to the railcar load out structure. It is important to note that this new conveyor would be installed within the existing conveyor tubes and would not be visible from the outside. The sodium bicarbonate conveyor gallery presently installed is considered adequate to transfer the additional product from the process building to the surge bin for loading the railroad cars . Finally, in order to ship the larger volume of finished products from the Parachute Site, additional railroad trackage will have to be installed for both storage of empty railcars waiting to be loaded and for staging of loaded soda ash and bicarbonate railcars. This additional trackage would be located near the product storage silos and load out building (Figure 3). ~llca!K>n rcn SP.ecial Use Permit Yankee Gulch Soilium Minerals Projecl ~Parachute Processing Operation Arilmn Soda. LLP. 2 As is the case with the existing structures at the Parachute Site, the expanded process building and silos would be painted an unobtrusive exterior color to blend with the natural surroundings and reduce visual impacts. 1.4 Hours of Operation The proposed expanded Parachute Site processing operation is scheduled to operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, with the exception of periodic maintenance outages. 1.5 Site Access and Anticipated Vehicle Traffic The Parachute Site is located about 3 miles northwest of Parachute, Colorado. Access to the Parachute Site would be via Garfield County Road 215 [Parachute Creek Road). Access to project facilities within the Parachute Site would be provided by exi~ting paved and gravel roads. Commuter traffic to and from the Parachute Site would occur during both day and night, peaking during shift changes. The expanded processing facility would operate 24 hours per day, with two 12-hour shifts [e.g., 7 am to 7 pm and 7 pm to 7 am). In total, approximately 150 commuter round trips are anticipated per 24-hour day. Truck traffic to and from the Parachute Site would be associated with the delivery of materials and supplies, as well as shipment of a small percentage of finished sodium products. These truck trips would occur primarily during daylight/business hours. Monday through Friday . It is estimated that approximately 54 truck trips per business day would occur during operation of the proposed processing plant. The vast majority of American Soda's finished products would be shipped from the Parachute Site by rail, utilizing the existing rail spur that runs from the site to the interstate railroad main line near the town of Parachute. With the proposed facility expansion, rail traffic is estimated to include about 85 110-ton cars per 24-hour day. 2.0 WATER USE AND WASTEWATER DISPOSAL The water supply for American Soda's expanded Yankee Gulch Project would be derived from the water rights purchased from Unocal for the project . These water rights are more than adequate to satisfy the project's demands. American Soda is confident that the project's water supply is legally and physically reliable. ~lion for c......:.1 Use l'ermil YrieeGulch ~Mlnmls ~ ~Parachute l'roceslng Operation AmeriCln Soda. LLP. 3 l . ' As is currently the case, domestic wastewater (sewage) will be drained into an existing storage vault at the Parachute Site. The wastewater will then be pumped from this vault and disposed of at an appropriate facility off site. Wastewater generated as a result of water softening would be routed to the on-site evaporation ponds. 3.0 SITE PLOT PLAN Figure 2 depicts the locations of all existing and proposed new structures at the Parachute Site, as well as the GaMield County roadway [County Road 215) in the vicinity of the Parachute Site property . 4.0 VICINITY MAP Figure 1 depicts the location of the Parachute Site on a USGS topographic map. The Parachute Site is located in the bottom of the Parachute Creek valley, on a property that is relatively flat, sloping gently toward Parachute Creek . 5.0 GARFIELD COUNTY ASSESSOR'S MAP A copy of the relevant Garfield County Assessor's Map is attached as Figure 4 . Appendix A provides a list of adjacent landowners for the Parachute Site. 6.0 DEED AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY A copy of the deed and a legal description of the property were filed with Garfield County after the initial Special Use Permit was granted for the Parachute Site (Permit No. 99-055]. 7 .0 IMPACT STATEMENT The Impact Statement for the project is included as Appendix B tD this Application. The Impact Statement includes an analysis of the applicability of the GaMield County Fiscal Impact Mitigation Program to the Yankee Gulch Project. 8. 0 FILING ADVICE The filing of this application at this time shall not be deemed a waiver of those exemptions and exclusions provided to American Soda.

This project feature reduces potential wear and tear on the county road and potential traffic conflicts in the town of Parachute. Coordination with the town of Parachute on noise issues related to rail traffic on the rail spur. Painting all buildings and other facilities at the Parachute Site an unobtrusive narural color to blend in with the natural surroundings and reduce visual impacts to observers in Battlement Mesa and other local viewpoints. 5.03.08 INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 1 . Voh 1me of Sm md Equipment that will generate noise will be located within buildings or enclosures and will comply with all relevant state and federal standards with respect to noise emissions. 2. Vibration Generated The proposed expanded processing operation is not expected to produce ground vibration that is perceptible at any point along the property boundary. 3. Emissions of Smoke and Partjc11late Matter As stated in Section 5.03.07 (8} of this Impact Statement, the expanded processing operation will comply with all state and federal air quality regulations and permitting requirements. The plant will burn natl.Jral gas, which is a clean fuel whose combustion would not result in emission of visible smoke or exhaust. In addition, various processing, handlingt packaging, and loading facilities will be equipped with pollution control devices to limit dust and particulate emissions to acceptable levels. 4. Emission of Heat Glare Radiation and Fi 1mes I J $ The proposed processing operation will be lit at night. American Soda intends to install night lighting in accordance with applicable occupational health and safety regulations and sound engineering judgment. The expanded processing operation would not emit radiation into the environment, nor would it emit heat that would be measurable in offsite air or water resources. lmWt Staiement ~pllcallon for S~ Use Pennll Yankee Gulch Soillum Minerals~ l;xpanded Parachuie Processing Operallon American Soda, w . B-5 5. Storage Areas A. Limited quantities of diesel fuel and other regulated materials will be stored at the Parachute Site for use in project operations. These materials will be stored in a manner consistent with requirements of the National Fire Code and other applicable state and federal regulations. B. Star.age facilities for fuel and other regulated materials would be within the fenced boundary of the Parachute Site. C. In general, no materials or wastes will be deposited upon the Parachute Site in a manner that would allow their transport off site by wind or other natural cause or force. While bulk sodium products would be stored in silos, rather than being piled outside, it is possible that small quantities may be deposited on the ground by loading and hauling operations. Soda ash and sodium bicarbonate are not regulated hazardous materials, and small quantities of material on the ground would not pose a health threat to workers or wildlife. 0. The Parachute Site itself is an approximately 300-acre parcel within the larger approximately 1,000-acre American Soda property. It is not located within 300 feet of any residential structures, nor is it within a platted subdivision. Heavy equipment stored on site would not be visible to adjacent landowners due to topography and screening by structures and buildings. Repairs to equipment would be performed indoors or outdoors during normal business hours as defined by the performance standard. Loading and unloading of vehicles would occur entirely within the Parachute Site, which is private property. . 5.08 FISCAL IMPACT MITIGATION PROGRAM According to the Garfield County Zoning Resolution. the purpose of the Fiscal Impact Mitigation Program is to condition a land use permit so that the sponsor of a Major Project will participate, as necessary, in a mitigation plan to provide for the timely availability of adequate housing, community facilities, and public services during the construction phase of the Major Project. Fiscal mitigation can take many forms, such as providing housing units, funding school additions, and funding water. sewer. or road infrastructure. Based on the guidelines established in the Zoning Resolution (5.08 .02 .08), a Major Project is defined as a project locat.ed in the county that will employ at any one time a total workforce of 200 employees in the county . B-6 Given the likely size of the construction workforce associated with the expansion of the Parachute Site Processing Facility, combined with American Soda's current approximately 1 OD-person workforce at the Parachute Site, it is likely the Yankee Gulch Project expansion would exceed the Major Project criteria during its construction for a period of months. Following construction, however. the operations workforce of the expanded Parachute Site Operation would be approximately 150, which is below the Major Project threshold. As was the case with initial project construction, American Soda will work closely with Garfield County to minimize or avoid impacts to local communities as appropriate during construction of the proposed Parachute Facility expansion. lmJ>¥1 Statement t!PP.llcallon for~ Use Pmnlt Yiilkee Gulch SoilJwn Minerals~ ~Parachute Proasslng Operation American Soda. w . IMPACT STATEMENT APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT YANKEE GULCH SODIUM MINERALS PROJECT PARACHUTE PROCESSING OPERATION In accordance with Sections 5.03.07 and 5.03.08 of the Garfield County Land Use Codes, this Impact Statement is filed with Garfield County for the purpose of expanding an existing sodium minerals processing operation at American Soda LLP's Parachute Site Processing Operation, located at 2717 County Road 215 in unincorporated Garfield County . The Parachute Site is part of the American Soda , L.L.P. [American Soda) Yankee Gulch Sodium Minerals Project [Yankee Gulch Project). 5.03 CONDmONAL AND SPECIAL USES 1. 1 ltilities and Sanitation American Soda intends to utilize its existing water supply and wastewater disposal infrastructure present at the Parachute Site. 2 . Street Improvements The road serving the Parachute Site [County Road 215) is currently adequate to serve the expanded Parachute Site Processing Operation. At present, County Road 215 carries modest volumes of traffic and has adequate capacity to handle the traffic envisioned for the project . Projected commuter and truck traffic anticipated for the expanded Parachute Site operations are described in Section 1 . 5 of the Special Use Permit Application. Minor repairs to roads within the facility may be necessary. 3 . Project Design and Adjacent I and I lses The Parachute Site is an approximately 300-acre existing industrial facility enclosed by a chain-link fence. This 300-acre facility lies within 1 ,ODO acres owned by American Soda. Outside the fenced boundary of the Parachute Site, the Amer ican Soda property is agriculrural and/or vacant in character. Lands adjacent to American Soda's 1 ,000-acre property are similar~ used for grazing and/or agriculture. with limited rural residential and mineral/natural gas extractive uses . There are no established neighborhoods or other residential land uses within close proximity of the Parachute Site that would warrant installation of screen fences or special landscaping or that would require special consideration of the lmll'!ct Siatement B 1 APP.llatlan for~ the PmnJt - Yanlcee Gukh Soillum Minerals~ ~nded Parachute Processing Operation Ari1erbn Soda.

Existfog I awfi 11 I lse of Water The water supply for American Soda's expanded Yankee Gulch Project would be derived from the water rights purchased from Unocal for the project . These water rights are more than adequate to satisfy the project's demands. American Soda is confident that the project's water supply is legally and physically reliable. The Parachute Site would feature a network of drainage ditches to direct stormwater runoff to a stormwater retention pond located on the southeast side of the site (Figure 2 of the Special Use Permit Application]. Groundwater would be protected through use of evaporation ponds featuring double liners with leak detection and pumpback equipment. 8. Generat:ian of Vapors, 011st, Smoke, Noise. Glare, Vibration, or Other Emanations The proposed expanded processing operation at the Parachute Site is subject to state and federal permitting requirements that limit the emission of a variety of air pollutants. The expanded processing plant would comply with those permitting requirements and would not emit unlawful quantities of regulated air pollutants. The proposed facility would burn natural gas for heating steam and drying sodium products. Natural gas is a clean fuel, and its combustion would not result in emission of visible smoke or exhaust. In product processing and packaging areas of the facility, the operation would feature baghouse filters and an electrostatic precipitator to control the emission of particulates (soda ash and sodium bicarbonate dust) from the site. All roads within the Parachute Site that will carry heavy truck traffic will be paved, which will minimize vehicle-related fugitive dust. Noise sources at the expanded Parachute Site, including boilers, pumps, dryers, and other mechanical equipment, would generally be enclosed or located inside of buildings, which would reduce the amount of noise actually emitted. Modest volumes of truck, train, and other vehicle traffic would also generate noise on a sporadic basis. It is important to note that the expanded processing operation would be located within a large, fenced property that is located in a sparsely populated agricultural area. The nearest residence is located approximately 1 1mn:irt s.a1emen1 B 2 ~lion for SP.'Cial Use Perm» - Yilrikee Gukh SoiliJm Mlnerah ~ ~Parachute l'rtla5slng oimim Alil!rlcan Soda. w. mile away . Since noise emissions diminish with distance, it is expected that noise emitted by the operation would diminish to acceptably low levels at residences and other noise receptors in the town of Parachute, roughly 3 miles away. The expanded processing operation would not produce appreciable ground vibration or other objectionable emanations. Finally, the operation would have some lighting at night. Night lighting would be installed in accordance with applicable occupational health and safety regulations and prudent engineering judgment. The use of downward-Oriented fixtures and visors would substantially reduce nighttime glare visible from populated vantage points such as Battlement Mesa. C. Impacts on Wildlife and Domest:ic Animals The Parachute Site is an existing industrial facility that is already fenced to rest.rict access by people, as well as by domestic animals and wildlife. While the adjacent properties are agricultural in nature, the perimeter fence would preclude the entry of livestock and other domestic animals. There is the potential for occasional vehicle-animal collisions along County Road 215 and on the rail spur due to project-related automobilet truck, and rail traffic. The number of animals that would be impacted is expected to be low. 0. Tri 1ck A11t-0mnhile and Rail Traffic ' j Commuter traffic to and from the Parachute Site would occur during both day and night, peaking during shi~ changes . The expanded processing facility would operate 24 hours per dayt with two 12·hour shifts (e.g .. 7 am to 7 pm and 7 pm to 7 am]. In total. approximately 150 commuter round trips are anticipated per 24·hour day with the plant expansion proposed. Truck traffic to and from the Parachute Site would be associated with the delivery of materials and supplies, as well as shipment of a small percentage of finished sodium products. These t.ruck trips would occur primarily during daylight/business hourst Monday through Friday. It is estimated that approximately 72 truck trips per business day would occur during operation of the proposed processing plant . The vast majority of American Soda 1s finished products would be shipped from the Parachute Site by rail, utilizing the existing rail spur that runs from the site to the interstate railroad main line near the town of Parachute. With the proposed facility expansiont rail traffic is estimated to include about 75 110-ton cars per 24·hour day.

B·3 The most recent traffic count on County Road 215 was performed in 1994. According to the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department , traffic amounted to approximately 414 trips per day, which is well below the design capacity of the road. However, it is likely traffic volumes have increased substantially since then due to a large increase in natural gas-related drilling and development that has occurred in and around the Parachute valley in recent years. Assuming the 1984 traffic count is still representative of current non-American Soda traffic activity, the addition of 222 project-related trips per day with American Soda's proposed expansion would represent a 53 percent increase in traffic volume on the lower portion of County Road 215. Despite this large percentage increase in traffic volume, the use of County Road 215 would still be considered low and traffic congestion unlikely nevertheless. With respect to product hauling, the use of the rail spur instead of trucking would significantly reduce the number of truck trips that would otherwise occur on Garfield County Road 215 . At present, American Soda believes County Road 215 is in good working condition and is adequate to support the traffic envisioned for the proposed expanded operation. E. Damage to Adjoining Property All product processing activities would occur within the fenced boundaries of the approximately 300-acre Parachute Site. As mentioned previously, the Parachute Site lies within the larger, approximately 1,0CXJ..acre American Soda property. No disturbance or damage to adjacent properties or land uses is foreseen. F. Mitigation Meas• ires Var ious mitigation measures have been developed for the Yankee Gulch Project that are also applicable to the proposed expansion of the Parachute Processing Operation. These were described in the Commercial Mine Plan prepared for the BLM. Copies of the Mine Plan have been provided to Garfield County. Please refer to Section 8.0 of the Mine Plan for mitigation measures that pertain to specific resource areas (i.e., Air Quality, Water Quality, Visual Resources). Mitigation measures that pertain specifically to the Parachute Site include: o Capture of on-site stormwater runoff and collection in a stormwater retention pond to prevent potential pollution of Parachute Creek; o Use of double liners with leak detection systems under evaporation ponds to protect groundwater and Parachute Creek; o Construction of evaporation ponds with protective bird netting installed; o Installation of various air pollution control devices on processing plant facilities to minimize emission of dust. particulates. and other air pollutants; B-4 APPENDIX A LIST OF ADJACENT LANDOWNERS -AMERICAN SODA PARACHUTE SITE Union Oil Company of California 2171-341-00-959 U.S. Bureau of Land Management 2171-354-00-960 U.S .
