RECLAMATION COSTS EXHIBIT J <br /> The worst case reclamation scenario will occur at the end of Mining Area 4. There will be the <br /> largest amount of pit floor,plant area, internal roads and in slopes to reclaim to rangeland. These <br /> areas are determined below: <br /> Area needing top soiling_ <br /> Plant area and stockpiles: 8.5 acres <br /> Final slopes: .41 acres <br /> Internal Roads: .55 acres <br /> Total area =9.96 acres <br /> Area needing soil preparation,reseeding, mulching <br /> The 21.3 acres from above+3.96 acres of the topsoil stockpile =24.99 acres=25.0 acres. <br /> The office, shop, and other minor structures in the office/shop area will remain for commercial <br /> use after the mine is closed. The access road will remain for access to the upper terrace. <br /> These reclamation areas will be the furthest from the topsoil stockpile located in the southwest <br /> corner of the permit area. Figure L-1 shows the assumptions used in calculating this worst case <br /> reclamation cost and the work needed to reclaim the site. <br /> Worst case reclamation costs for this scenario are shown in Table L-1 below: <br />
