Cost Estimate for Reclamation Revised 02/18/2019 <br /> The maximum area in the amended Ensminger Pit#2 that could require seeding is 72.1 acres. That is the total <br /> affected area minus the dry creek bed which will not be seeded. The site will be graded and sloped as it <br /> is mined. There is minimal topsoil at the site. Banks will be reclaimed. Stockpiled topsoil will be <br /> re-applied to the excavations outside the flow area. A cover crop will be established on the areas outside the creek <br /> and on disturbed banks. After the cover crop is established,the grass will be planted as recommended <br /> by the local Natural Resource Conservation Service. The cost units below already include <br /> labor and fuel. The cover crop, manuring, and grass seeding cost were obtained from the <br /> Natural Resource Conservation Service and have been based on Conservation Reserve <br /> Program costs. The other unit costs were obtained from a local contractor who is <br /> equipped to perform reclamation if Rick Ensminger were to default on the reclamation plan. <br /> Ensminger Pit#2,as amended <br /> Task Volumes Units Unit Cost Item Cost <br /> Backfill and Grade 197.1 Hours $125.00 $24,637.50 <br /> to 2:1 slopes <br /> Replace Topsoil/Overburden <br /> Tractor/Speedy Mover 914.7 Hours $75.00 $68,602.50 <br /> Revegetate Site <br /> Cover crop 72.1 Acres $50.00 $3,605.00 <br /> Grass seeding 72.1 Acres $50.00 $3,605.00 <br /> Seed 757.05 Lbs. $9.70 $7,343.39 <br /> (72.1 acres x 10.5#PLS/Acre) <br /> Mobilization <br /> Tractor/Speedy Mover 2 Hours $75.00 $150.00 <br /> Dozer 2 Hours $125.00 $250.00 <br /> TOTAL $108,193.39 <br /> Total Estimated Cost / Total Affected Area = Estimated Cost per Acre <br /> $108,193.39 72.1 $1,500.60 <br /> Estimated Financial Assurance Est.Acreage x Est.
