RECLAMATION COSTS EXHIBIT L <br /> 1. Gold Operation <br /> Most of the gold mine disturbance will be reclaimed as mining continues and reclaims behind the <br /> advancing cuts. The plan allows for two cuts in some stage of stripping, two in the stage of <br /> extracting gravel to send to the gold plant, and two in some stage of reclamation. No new mining <br /> cut can be stripped if reclamation is more than two cuts behind. The status of the cuts will be <br /> documented in the annual report. The operator recognizes that in the event of revegetation of <br /> reclaimed cuts being determined to have failed, DRMS may raise the bond as it deems <br /> appropriate. <br /> The worst-case reclamation scenario occurs at the end of mining. At the end of gold mining, 35 <br /> acres of rangeland area will need to be regraded; requiring the movement of 134,100 cy. As <br /> explained above, the mill building will remain as a horse barn for the post-mine residential use. <br /> The east portion of the office/shop building will also remain as a tack storage for the horse barn. <br /> All other buildings from the gold operation will be removed, however, power poles and some <br /> roads will remain, as shown on Maps F-1 and F-2. <br /> Approximately 35 acres will need to be retopsoiled and revegetated for the worst case. <br /> Three (3) acres seeding and mulching are included in the bond in case revegetation fails on any <br /> of the new mining cuts. <br /> Bond calculations are enclosed on the following pages. <br /> The tasks and costs for the worst-case reclamation scenario are given below: <br /> Alma Placer L-1 <br /> ,r.o�i.4•�.{y�n::•1,..„,yea+.1 i< <br />
