According to information found in the DOT&PF EDMS system in January 2009 and DNR case file abstracts, this site lies on State of Alaska lands managed by DNR. The site was originally developed for construction of the Dalton Highway Road in the 1970’s.

DOT&PF is operating under a material sale contract (ADL 413805) which currently expires August 31, 2014. A new material sale application (ADL 418456) by DOT&PF on June 24, 2008 was referenced in the DNR case file abstracts. An existing access road connects the site to the Dalton Highway. The access road right-of-way is referenced in the material site contract. The site appeared to contain significant quantities of rock and should be retained by DOT&PF for future use.

According to information found in the DOT&PF EDMS system in January 2009 and data in the BLM case file abstracts, this site lies on Federal lands managed by BLM. The site has been divided into three parts; a bedrock quarry labeled Area “A”; an existing pit in the floodplain labeled Area “B”; and a proposed expansion west of the highway. Area “A” (MS 89-3) was originally developed for construction of the Dalton Highway and Alyeska Pipeline in the 1970’s. It is presently a joint-use site, used for Alyeska operations and maintenance (OMS 89-3) and for DOT&PF Dalton Highway maintenance and reconstruction (MS 65-9-037-2). Generally, Area “A” is operated under a mining plan prepared by Alyeska dated 2002 that shows separate working areas for both Alyeska and DOT&PF. The Alyeska permit (F-094458) presently expires on August 09, 2010.

MS 65-9-037-2

Page-1B

DOT&PF is operating under a FUP (F-093001) which currently expires December 31, 2010.

DOT&PF has developed Area “B” in the floodplain of Bonanza Creek which is covered under the same DOT&PF permit. Golder drilled a proposed expansion to Area “B” on the east side of the highway in 2003. A large expansion area downstream to the west was drilled at the same time. Additional areas for expansion are available on the west side of the highway. Alyeska Access Road 89-APL/AMS-4 connects Area “A” to the Dalton Highway. DOT&PF access right-of-way is included in the permit. The site appeared to contain significant quantities of sand and gravel and should be retained by DOT&PF for future use. It is also a potentially significant source of aggregates in an area with limited material suitable for producing aggregates.

According to information found in the DOT&PF EDMS system in January 2009 and BLM case file abstracts, this site lies on Federal lands managed by BLM. The site (MS 92-3.1) was originally developed for construction of the Dalton Highway and Alyeska Pipeline in the 1970’s. It is presently a joint-use site, used for Alyeska operations and maintenance (OMS-92-3.1) and for DOT&PF Dalton Highway maintenance and reconstruction (MS 65-9-045-2). Generally, the site is operated under a mining plan prepared by Alyeska dated 2002 that shows separate working areas for Alyeska and DOT&PF. The Alyeska permit (F-095107) presently expires on June 04, 2012. DOT&PF is currently operating under a FUP (F-093007) which expires December 31, 2010. Access Road 92-AMS-6A connects the site to the Dalton Highway. Access road right-of-way is included in the permit. The Jim River Solid Waste Disposal Site (FF-078201) lies along the access road in what used to be Material Site MS 65-9-045-2B. The permit for the disposal site expired in 2007. The present material site lies in an area that used to be MS 65-9-045-2A. The site appeared to contain significant quantities of sand and gravel and should be retained by DOT&PF for future use.

For estimating purposes the site was divided up into 3 sections. The southern edge of the pit was estimated to have an average of 25 feet of material under about 5 feet of overburden plus existing spoil berms. There was approx. 238,000 c.y. of material available (9.5 acres x 25 feet x 1,000 c.y per acre-foot). The northern edge of the pit also had an estimated average 25 feet of material under about 5 feet of overburden plus existing spoil berms. There was approx. 320,000 c.y. of material available (12.8 acres x 25 feet x 1,000 c.y per acre-foot). Deepening the pit floor between these two sections was estimated to make approx. 58,000 c.y. of additional material available (5.8 acres x 10 feet x 1,000 c.y per acre-foot).
