Exhibit D-Reclamation Plan <br /> At the completion of mining the slopes to the north and west will be reclaimed to a slope of 4:1 <br /> (horizontal: vertical). The backfill to grade is estimated at approximately 10,000 cubic yards. The <br /> overburden and topsoil will be taken from the existing stockpile to the southwest of the site. The <br /> remaining pit floor will have a 5%slope and flow to the east. The area will be covered with 4" of topsoil <br /> to be reseeded. Covering the total disturbed area of approximately 3.83 acres, 4 inches deep will <br /> require approximately 2060 cubic yards. As previously mentioned, the topsoil will be taken from the <br /> existing stockpile on site. The disturbed area will be tracked and reseeded with a mixture of native <br /> grasses, per NRCS, Forest Service, and or DRMS recommendations. When the area has been sufficiently <br /> (70%) revegitated erosion/sediment controls will be removed and the site will be returned to U.S. <br /> Forest Service use. A drawing of the reclamation plan is attached in the Maps section. <br /> The estimated cost of reclamation is approximately$16,050.00 The cost of backfill, grading, and topsoil <br /> application was calculated based on moving 10,000 cubic yards of backfill and 2,060 cubic yards of <br /> topsoil from the existing stockpile on site. Using the Caterpillar Performance Handbook Edition 35 to <br /> estimate performance/production of a D6R bulldozer, it was estimated to take about 76 hours to <br /> complete. Using the CDOT 2013 average bid unit cost for dozing of$128.03 per hour plus 15% <br /> ($147.23/hr) results in an estimated cost of approximately$11,040.00 Seeding cost was estimated <br /> based on a total disturbed area of 4.0 acres. Using CDOT's 2013 average bid unit cost for seeding <br /> (native) of$628.42/acre plus 15% ($722.68) results in an estimated cost for seeding of$2,890.00 <br /> Mulching cost was also estimated based on a total disturbed area of 4.0 acres. Using CDOT's 2013 <br /> average bid unit cost for mulching(weed free) of$447.12 plus 15%($514.18) results in an estimated <br /> cost for mulching of$2,060.00 Adding the costs of backfill, grading.Topsoil, seeding, and mulching <br /> results in a total estimated reclamation cost of$16,050.00 <br />
