6. Alaska Examples of DEMD’s Technical Assistance

7. Lily Mayland Allotment
DEMD was asked to provide assistance in negotiating a lease between the allottee and a construction company.
The initial offer was to purchase the property for $30,000 (which included the sand and gravel).

8. Lily Mayland Allotment
Based on DEMD’s technical assistance the initial terms were changed to:
A five year lease, with an option for an additional five years.
An annual minimum rental payment of $10,000.
A royalty payment of $9.00/ton.
Construction of a crew cabin and a barge loading dock to remain on the property after the lease has expired.
The allottee will earn an average of $40,000/year and if the lease is effective for 10 years the total will be $400,000.
And, the allottee will retain the reclaimed property.

9. Major Economic Opportunity
Supplying Sand and Gravel for Future Infrastructure Project.

10. LNG Pipeline Allotment Study
DEMD assessed 758 allotments
Allotments were assessed according to:
Distance to pipeline.
Geology and probability of finding quality and quantity sand and gravel deposits.
Market or economic conditions including size, accessibility and location.
In summary, the ratings identified those allotments best suited for a detailed aggregate evaluation.

11. Metlakatla Background:
The Tribe requested a study to locate new sources of high grade aggregate as well as fill material.
The Tribe will use the aggregate for local construction projects and road maintenance.

12. Metlakatla DEMD Assistance:
Determine the location, quality, and quantity, of construction aggregate.
Assess the economic feasibility of a new operation.
Assist in permitting and planning, including creating a mine and reclamation plan.

13. Metlakatla Accomplishments:
Based on exploration and laboratory results, DEMD geologists identified a large volume, high grade aggregate deposit.
A mine and reclamation plan was drafted for the future quarry (Yellow Hill Quarry).

14. Metlakatla In Progress:
The identified site was previously used as a metal dump area. Tribe is in process of cleaning it up.
Tribe is reviewing the mine and reclamation plans and will submit for permitting.

15. Dull Allotment
DEMD received a request to review a mining trespass on the Dull Allotment.
13.5 tons were already mined due to the trespass.
All of the allotment was deemed minable.
DEMD estimated the marketable sand volume remaining was approximately 6.3 million tons.
