On June 11, 2007 the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) performed a Compliance Inspection to determine compliance with various ATF regulations and to calculate the maximum net explosive weight (NEW) permitted to be stored in the site magazines. Based on examination of the magazines (including materials of construction and specifications for thickness, methods of attachment, etc.), BATF determined that the magazines and locks are in complete compliance with ATF regulations. Using the Table of Distances for Storage of Explosive Materials (27 CFR 555.218), as currently sited, the Type 2 magazines at this site may be used to store up to 30,000 pounds NEW.
Due to apparent funding issues, the property owner has not completed the Marley Road access to the site. This impacts the potential for Phase II startup since the Zeitler Rd. bridge access cannot handle the anticipated weight of Phase II equipment to be brought on site such as frac tanks, track hoes etc etc. Phase II work may be delayed as a result.
FOSC continues to conduct weekly project management meeting/conference call, which includes EPA, MDE, Start, GES, USA and RMC both field components and their offices. The week of July 4 will be an off week for all site personnel.
