The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, proposes to construct a permanent parking lot south of Building 16-35 on the Pantex Plant. The parking lot would be approximately 220 feet in length and 170 feet wide. Four metal culverts, 24 inches in diameter by 22 feet long, would be installed in the ditch at the entrance to the parking lot for maintaining proper drainage. The ground would be leveled, and 6 to 8 inches of half-inch diameter rock, or flyash, would be used as the base. Approximately 1,000 tons of crushed asphalt would be installed over the rock base. Approximately 200 gallons of emulsion (oil and water) and a 1-inch thick layer of small gravel would be applied on top of the crushed asphalt. The parking area perimeter would be lined with railroad ties.
