SCHLOSSER, INC. <br />REGULAR 112 PERMIT APPLICATION <br />SCHLOSSER PIT I <br />EXHIBIT L - RECLAMATION COSTS <br />The permitted area will consist of 80 acres. The affected area will encompass 50 acres. The <br />permit area will be divided into two phases. The affected area of the first phase will consist of <br />20 acres and it will entail the mining of 10 acres between the previously disturbed area and <br />County Road 49. The affected area of this first phase includes the area of the previously <br />disturbed area (see the Mine Plan Map on page C -5). The second phase will consist of the 30 <br />acres of affected area west of the existing previously disturbed area. <br />The initial phase one of operations will consist of the 10 acres to be mined and will also have <br />10 acres for plant set -up, product stockpiles, topsoil and overburden stockpiles and roadways <br />for hauling and accessing the pit. <br />The previously disturbed excavation is approximately 6 acres in size and is included on the <br />first phase of operations. There will be an approximate 40 foot buffer area established inside <br />the Affected Area boundaries (see Reclamation Plan Map on page F -2). <br />There will be 10 acres mined in the initial phase of operations. The sand and gravel material <br />averages about 20 feet in depth. This will yield approximately 50,000 tons on product per acre. <br />The estimated annual production will be 50,000 tons or the mining of 1 acres per year. <br />The topsoil at this location averages 2 feet in depth, which will yield a salvage of <br />approximately 3,200 cubic yards of topsoil per acre. The overburden averages 7 feet in depth, <br />but at least 3 feet of this material will be used in the base course production leaving 4 feet of <br />overburden to be stripped for mining. <br />In phase one of operations, all of the topsoil will be salvaged and stockpiled. These <br />stockpiles will be located along the permit boundary, outside of the excavated areas. <br />Approximately 50% of the overburden material stripped will be salvaged and stockpiled. The <br />other 50% will be placed back into the excavated area as soon as it is stripped, as soon as there <br />has been enough area established. The stockpiled overburden material will be backfilled during <br />reclamation. <br />L -1 <br />
