Elizabeth Greer, of Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, say's the stated purpose is the following: “Planned increases in fuel consumption at the Red Dog Mine require construction of an additional three million gallons of diesel storage. The facility is able to receive fuel deliveries from ocean going fuel barges from approximately early July to mid-October, depending on sea and ice conditions. To meet operational needs, the facility needs to be able to store approximately nine months of diesel usage with a sufficient buffer to schedule fuel barge deliveries to minimize impacts to local subsistence activities”. The Proposed Work would include discharge of 11,460 cubic yards of sand and gravel fill into 1.3 acres of wetlands to construct a gravel pad for diesel bulk fuel storage. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-6), dated December 20, 2017. The project site is located within Section 10, T. 25N., R. 24W., Kateel River Meridian; Latitude 67.5770º N., Longitude 164.0480º W.; near Kivalina, Alaska.
