Project Timeline

Pacific Soda is currently operating a full-scale test cavern to validate the proof of concept and to produce high quality soda ash for market samples. Basic engineering for the Dry Creek Trona Project is complete and preparations are underway to complete a Feasibility Study, report reserves, and additional support for project financing. Baseline surveys and studies have been completed, and the Bureau of Land Management is underway on an Environmental Impact Statement review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Project construction will start following the completion of the NEPA process, and after securing the other required federal, state, and local permits. Commissioning of the first refinery is expected to begin 24 months after the start of construction.
