EXHIBIT L <br /> RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATE (revised 9/25/19) <br /> The following Reclamation Cost estimate is based on the <br /> assumption that there will be no more than 25 . 00 acres ± distur- <br /> bance at any-one time . Of this, 4 . 92 acres are in the dry wash <br /> and needs no resoiling. Two areas need resoiling with 6 to 9 <br /> inches average of 7 inches deep, of salvaged soil : the 2 . 15 acres <br /> in the blow sand borrow area and the 2 . 35 acres in the terrace <br /> deposit area (4 . 50 acres @ 7" 4235 yds) . The remaining 15 . 58 <br /> acres in the dry wash, of that approximately 40% or 6 . 23 acres <br /> wil31 need minor grading and seeding. The remaining 9 . 35 acres is <br /> area has adequate vegetation due to self reclamation. <br /> The mine working face will be limited to 1000 feet long by <br /> 15 feet high and be reclaimed using a cut/fill grading method. <br /> Four hundred (400) feet is in the blow sand area and 600 feet is <br /> along the channel bank that has been mined. Since the site is <br /> mostly within a dry wash there is no topsoil available from that <br /> area. The 11 . 15 acres (9, 000 cyd. ) disturbed in the dry wash <br /> would be smoothed using a D6T dozer and then seeded. At that <br /> time we will have to do 1, 560 cy of cut\fill sloping (1 . 56 <br /> cyd/lft) . A D6T is used for calculation purposes to do the <br /> shaping and grading in this calculation and the mobilization haul <br /> distance is 5 . 00 miles . The revegetation cost figure used <br /> includes grass seed, weed control and drilling costs . <br /> ESTIMATED UNIT COSTS FOR RECLAMATION ITEMS: <br /> Unit Cost <br /> 1.
