According to information in the Northern Region Material Site files on July 20, 2007, this site lies on Northway Native Corporation land (Doyon subsurface) subject to a DOT&PF right-of-way grant. The right-of-way was granted in 1961 and surveyed in 1983. The present highway alignment appears to cross through the site, the old alignment being downhill to the south. The site appears to contain significant quantities of sand and weathered granite and should be retained by DOT&PF for future use.

LIMITED

There may be useable material left in the pit but it is not available.

ROUGH ESTIMATE

NONE

Most of the existing pit lies outside the site limits. For the purposes of estimating quantities we are assuming only the bedrock knob in the southwest portion of the site will be mined, an area of approx. 12 acres. Assuming 1.5 feet of silty overburden on the bedrock knob and an average 21.5-foot working depth there is approx. 240,000 c.y. of material available (12 acres x 20 feet x 1,000 c.y. per acre-foot). This would include a layer of fine eolian sand up to 6.5 feet deep lying on the bedrock. There may be significantly more material available if the buried telephone line that crosses the knob is moved. Limited quantities of weathered rock may be obtained by widening the highway cuts within the site limits.

The portion of the site underlain by eolian sand and silt was vegetated with moderately dense black spruce having a maximum height of about 20 feet, small alder, low brush, and a ground cover of moss. The organic mat was generally 0.5 ft. thick. The southeast area composed of the granite knob was covered by a moderately dense mixed spruce and aspen forest. Aspen predominated on the crest of the hill. The remaining triangular area in the southern portion of the site has dense vegetation consisting of spruce to 55 feet, scattered birch and aspen, with an understory of alder brush.

22. Access to the west side of the site can be gained along an old portion of the Alaska Highway. This portion is a single paved and gravel lane with alders overgrowing the road. Access to the east side can be gained from the Alaska Highway.

25., 26. Loose, granular material obscures much of the underlying bedrock within the pit, however, competent rock has been exposed in several small areas. The rock is a variant of the granite bedrock underlying the region and consists mainly of feldspar and quartz with very few dark minerals.

27. The granitic hill is overlain by surficial silts and eolian sands to an average depth of eight feet.

43. The mineral composition and texture of the granitic rock types in this area renders them susceptible to chemical and mechanical breakdown over an extended period of years.

According to information in the Northern Region Material Site files on July 20, 2007, this site lies on Federal lands managed by USF&WS subject to a right-of-way grant to DOT&PF. The right-of-way was issued to DOT&PF in 1964. The last exploration program listed in the material site file occurred in 1993. Drilled locations of 2006 test borings were found at the site but the data were not available at the time of inspection.

There are reportedly plans to use this site for future construction projects. The existing access road is steep and it is understood that it will be relocated. There are dikes of greenstone in the pit from which aggregates have been produced. The site appears to contain significant quantities of schist, phyllite, and greenstone and should be retained by DOT&PF for future use.

The site limits on the Site Map were based on a 1994 drawing in the material site file and hand-held GPS coordinates of corners acquired during this inspection. The north-south site dimensions shown on the 1994 drawing were shorter then those from the original 1983 right-of-way plat. Thus the area of the site (~72 acres) used in this report is less then that indicated on the 1983 drawing.

28. Spoil had been pushed over the north edge of the existing pit.

36. The rock in the pit consisted of three rock types:

1. Greenstone/ hard, green hued on fresh surfaces, weathers to olive-gray; outcrops are sheer cliffs to blocky; typically jointed & closely fractured but large fragments to 8' dia. were noted.

2. Schist / highly fractured, green to steel gray, weathered to olive gray, thick veins (to 2' + ) of quartzite; outcrops were shattered and benched. Looks similar to greenstone until closely inspected. Large fragments to 48" dia. Phyllitic areas steel gray to black, some bright green mineralization in fractures, platy, "greasy" when wet.

3. Volcanic (possibly same as greenstone but less weathered) / gray to black, slightly to moderately weathered, very hard;

outcrops in rubbly ridges on quarry floor, rust stained on weathered surfaces, medium crystalline.

42. Due to the variability of the bedrock, producing aggregates will require selective mining.

43. There were large fragments to 8 feet in diameter strewn around the existing pit.

According to information in the Northern Region Material Site files on July 20, 2007, this site lies on State of Alaska lands managed by DNR. The expiration date of the Material Sale Contract in the file was July 31, 2007. A large exploration trench was reportedly made in the early 1980’s and can been seen on the site map. There was no access road to the site, but two trails could be traversed on foot or ATV. The material site contract shows an existing 60-foot wide right-of-way to the site generally following the southern trail. The two trail alignments are quite steep (to 35 percent) and realignments and/or cuts and fills may be required to construct access roads along these trails. In places, the 60-foot right-of-way may not be wide enough to encompass all construction activities. The site appears to contain significant quantities of weathered granitic rock and should be retained by DOT&PF for future use. The rock appears to exhibit the same irregular weathering as other granitic sites in the area.

22. There were no existing access roads to the site. Two trails are shown on the site map, a northern trail and a southern trail. Both were about 0.5 to 0.6 miles long and unimproved. The southern trail has a 60-foot right-of-way designated in the material sale contract. Grades on the northern trail range from 0 to 25 percent. Drainage was flowing down the tracks and creating ditches and sink holes. The trail was single lane. Grades on the southern trail were steeper and range from 0 to 35 percent. Side-hill grades in some places ranging from 0 - 35 percent. There were large boulders (5 feet dia. or larger) on the surface. Both routes will require significant improvement. Alignments may need to be shifted away from the existing trails and/or cuts and fills made to reduce grades.

27. & 29. Overburden at the site consisted of <3 feet of silt and organics. Below the silt was a layer of fine eolian sand that is generally acceptable only as Type C material if moisture contents allow compaction. Below that was up to 10 or more feet of sand (grus) which is also generally acceptable as Type C material. However, if only harder rock is desired, overburden depths can be assumed to range from 3 to 15 feet.

42. The irregular weathering of the granitic rocks may make selective mining necessary to produce crushed aggregates.

43. Existing laboratory data indicates that this rock would not make suitable riprap.
