[� (iii) state the grass, forb, shrub and tree species to be planted and the applicable <br />quantities. Specify the quantity of each grass and forb species as pounds of pure live <br />seed per acre; <br />[] (iv) specify the application method for grass and forb seeding. If the seed is to be <br />broadcast, the application rate shall be twice the rate required for seed drilling. If <br />the seedbed has not been adequately roughened prior to seeding, the seed shall be <br />raked or harrowed after broadcast application; <br />[) (v) if a mulch is needed, specify the kind to be used, the crimping method, and rate of <br />application; and <br />p (vi) explain the establishment methods for each species of shrub and/or tree, and state <br />the number of each to be established per acre. <br />(d) Specify which ponds, streams, roads and buildings, if any, will remain after <br />reclamation. These features must be shown on the Exhibit E - Map. If ponds are part <br />of the Reclamation Plan, slopes from 5 vertical feet above to 10 vertical feet below <br />the expected average water level cannot be steeper than 3H:1V; remaining slope <br />lengths may not be steeper than 2H:1V. Where wildlife habitat is the proposed <br />future land use, shorelines should be irregularly shaped to promote a diverse wildlife <br />habitat. The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) must be consulted where wildlife <br />use is the proposed future land use. <br />(e) Specify the reclamation treatment of any waste rock dumps, underground mine <br />openings, ditches, sediment control facilities, buildings and other features specified <br />in your mine plan but not previously addressed in the Reclamation Plan narrative. <br />These features must be shown on Exhibit E - Map. This should describe the measures <br />taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, <br />and provide for a stable configuration consistent with the proposed future land use. <br />(2) All 110 Limited Impact applications must provide an estimate of the actual costs to <br />reclaim the site based on what it would cost the State of Colorado using an <br />independent contractor to complete reclamation. (Such estimates are not required <br />for activities contemplated by the operator and approved by the Office to be outside <br />the scope of the proposed reclamation plan.) The unit costs should include estimates <br />for the following activities as appropriate to the operation: backfilling, grading, <br />topsoil application, seeding, mulching, fertilization, and labor to complete <br />reclamation. Determine and specify the point during the operation when the site has <br />reached a point of maximum disturbance. The cost to reclaim the site to the <br />specifications of the Reclamation Plan at this point must be estimated. Unit costs <br />(cost per cubic yard), volumes, haul or push distances, and grades must be included <br />when backfilling and grading are part of the Reclamation Plan. Volume and unit costs <br />for finish grading, subsoil and topsoil application must be provided in terms of cost <br />per cubic yard. The estimated cost for fertilizer, seed and mulch acquisition and <br />application must be provided as cost per acre. <br />(a) Equipment costs must include such factors as equipment operator wages and <br />benefits, fuel and lubricant consumption and depreciation. The cost to mobilize and <br />demobilize the equipment from the nearest population center known to have the <br />required equipment availability should be estimated. <br />
