EXHIBIT L RECLAMATION COSTS <br /> This reclamation cost estimate in based on the assumption that <br /> there will be no more than 15 . 0 acres ± disturbed at any one <br /> time . The following information also depicts a worse case <br /> scenario . At that time Grand County will have to respread 12 , 100 <br /> Cubic yards of soil ; do 12 , 820 cubic yards of cut/fill dozer work <br /> on 350 linear feet of working face; grade 15 . 00 acres of seedbed <br /> and revegetate 15 . 00 ac . ± . The amount of topsoil that will be <br /> re-spread is based on an average of 6 inches and the cut/fill <br /> sloping volume is calculated using 36 . 62 yd3/lft on 350 feet . A <br /> D-8N dozer will be used to do all working face shaping. A 988 <br /> Loader will be used to spread topsoil and a 140G blade will be <br /> used to shape the seedbed area. Mobilization costs are estimated <br /> as round trip costs, one way distance of 9 . 5 miles from <br /> Kremmling, CO to the mine and average speed of 30 mph. These <br /> figures are then used in the calculations for the bond estimate . <br /> The revegetation cost figure includes fertilizer, grass seed, <br /> mulch and drilling costs . <br /> This is done in an attempt to set the bond so there is <br /> flexibility to operate without reevaluating the bond yearly. <br /> RECLAMATION ACTIVITY AREAS (ac, Ift.) <br /> RESOIL 15.00 <br /> REVEGETATE 15.00 <br /> CUT/FILL SLOPE SHAPING 350.00 <br /> SEEDBED SHAPING 15.00 <br /> ESTIMATED UNIT COSTS FOR RECLAMATION ITEMS: <br /> Unit Cost <br /> 1 .
