Exhibit L <br /> Reclamation Costs <br /> Refer to the attached Exhibit F-Reclamation Plan Map showing the generalized final grades <br /> for all disturbed areas. No ponds will be constructed for mining operations and no ponded <br /> areas are proposed for final grades. <br /> The information to calculate the cost of reclamation are provided below. <br /> 1: Assumes mine reclamation will be performed/cost incurred by the State in the unlikely <br /> event the applicant cannot perform the reclamation. <br /> 2: The maximum disturbed area requiring reclamation will be when phase 6 is prepared <br /> and phase 7 has just started.The mining plan proposes to reclaim individual phases as the <br /> next cell is stripped and mined. Under this scenario,phases 1 thru 5 will have been <br /> reclaimed and phase 6 will be partially reclaimed.Topsoil from phase 7 will be used to <br /> partially reclaim phase 6 with the remainder stockpiled in a portion of phase 6. For this <br /> estimate it is assumed one-fourth (1/4) of phase 6 will require earthwork and the entire <br /> area in phase 6 will require seeding and mulching and maintenance.Additionally all of <br /> phase 7 will require earthwork as well as seeding,mulching and maintenance. Keeping in <br /> mind the access road is to remain in place as per the request of the land owner. <br /> 3: The topsoil available for reclamation is estimated to be: <br /> a. Total topsoil placement: (25%of phase 6+ 100%phase 7)x 6"average thickness <br /> = 17.55 acres of maximum disturbance X 43560 x.50/27= 14,157 cubic yds.'of top <br /> soil. <br /> b. Seeding and Mulching maximum area: ( All of phase 6 and all of phase 7) 11.09 <br /> acres+ 14.78 acres=25.87 acres. Per Greely NRCS no irrigation is required.Please <br /> refer to Exhibit F Reclamation Plan for recommended seeding mixture. <br /> Fxh►b`A L N <br />
