Acreages to be graded, separated by industrial area, shorelines, and other areas such as buffer zones. <br /> The applicant states that no more than 11.90 acres will require reclamation at any time; however, the <br /> bond estimate includes costs for grading 22.82 acres. Please clarify. <br /> The attached revised Exhibit L - Reclamation Cost Estimate corrects this and is based <br /> on what we think the worst case will be in the first 10 years of the mines life. <br /> g. Costs for hauling off and disposing of any old junk or equipment stored on site that will not be used <br /> by the operation. <br /> That cost is included in the Reclamation Cost (revised 3/5/18) estimate. We estimate <br /> there are 150 yards or about 6 semi load of salvageable scrap on the old plant site area. I <br /> also included a cost to move 300 yards of concrete rubble to a burial site in the mined <br /> area. <br /> h. Costs for ripping up the concrete along the northwestern shoreline of the small pond and pushing the <br /> rubble into the pond (or hauling off site for disposal) <br /> This was placed on the site pre-law and will not be disturbed by mining. It is part of the <br /> Reclamation Plan as it serves as the base for the boat ramp and the beach area. <br />
