Comments sought on soda plant expansion

RBC I The Bureau of Land Management is now seeking public comments on a proposed sodium bicarbonate plant expansion 37 miles southwest of Meeker.

Natural Soda Inc.’s planned expansion of the Piceance Creek Basin processing facility would double its current 250,000 tons per-year production and add 30 full-time employees over the next four years.
The proposed plant expansion would involve 20 acres of surface disturbance as well as drilling and construction of new recovery wells.
