RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATE <br /> The following Reclamation Cost estimate is based on the <br /> assumption that there will be no more than 9 . 06 acres ± distur- <br /> bance at any one time . The mine working face will be 500 ft long <br /> by 20 feet high and that when it comes time to resoil the area, <br /> an average of 5 inches of soil would be spread over the disturbed <br /> area . At that time we will have to respread 6 , 090 cubic yards of <br /> topsoil and move 1, 390 cy of cut\fill sloping. The table below <br /> outlines the various areas of disturbance at the time explained <br /> above . A D6N Cat Dozer is used to estimate the shaping and <br /> resoiling costs in this calculation and the mobilization haul <br /> distance is 17 miles from Yuma Colorado. The revegetation cost <br /> figure used includes fertilizer, grass seed, mulch, labor and <br /> drilling costs . <br /> STAGE TOTAL SOIL DEPTH <br /> NEEDING REBOILING 9.06 5 <br /> REVEGETATION AREA 9.06 <br /> RESOIL @ 5 6,090 CUBIC YARDS <br /> CUT/FILL SLOPING 1 ,390 CUBIC YARDS <br /> ESTIMATED UNIT COSTS FOR RECLAMATION ITEMS: <br /> Unit Cost <br /> 1 .
