the mines magazine • September 1980 Fast by Dennis Mclnerny, '66

In eariy 1977, Morton Salt Company was informed of the U.S. Government's desire to acquire the Weeks Island, Louisiana, salt mine for conversion to a Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The scheduled acquisition date of this producing property did not allow time for the completion of an entirely new facilitiy without a curtailment of production for a period of approximately two years. In order to preserve a marketing position in the salt industry, Morton Sait Company conceived a plan whereby temporary produc­ tion could be achieved for the length of time necessary to complete a new mine. This plan was dependent on several factors, (1) Government approval was necessary, as the temporary mine was to be located at a higher elevation in the salt dome than the oil storage and would require common use of the existing shaft. (2) Complete evacuation of the lower levels of the mine was necessary by a certain date lo allow placement of the necessary vapor and explosion seals. (3) A new material-handling system was required to assure a smooth transition of production from the lower to the upper level. The new mine had to be designed and constructed as soon as possible since the salt reserves al the higher elevation were limited. Assuming government approval of the temporary mine, Morton Sail Company engaged Frontier-Kemper Constructors in May of 1977 to act as the construction manager for the fast track design and construct of both the temporary Markel Mine and the new mine. Excavation of the incline in the existing mine leading to the upper leve! was scheduled lo begin on July 15,1977. Design and mobilization for the new mine were lo begin immediately.
