Exhibit L - RECLAMATION COSTS <br /> This reclamation cost estimate is based on the assumption that no more than 10.0 acres will need some <br /> form of reclamation at any one time. Of these 10 acres, approximately 7.0 acres would be stripped, <br /> active mining and processing areas and the remaining 3.0 acres would be, partially reclaimed area. This <br /> is based on a worst-case scenario i.e., at a time when the greatest area will need some form of <br /> reclamation as shown on Map Exhibit C-1 Mining Plan Map. The plan allows for a maximum of 300 <br /> linear feet of bank sloping to backfill grade the mining face from near vertical to 3h to 1v as proposed in <br /> the Reclamation Plan. A D6T Cat dozer will be used to backfill the slopes using material generated by <br /> mining and/or brick waste and pushing that material up against the face to create the 3h to 1v slope. <br /> (15' high bank—12.5 yd/ft). The volume of material needed to backfill 300 feet of mining face to a 3H to <br /> 1V slope is 300' x 12.5 yd/ft= 3,750 cubic yards. <br /> A dozer or motor scraper will be used to place the root zone and resoil the area. A 140G Cat motor <br /> grader will be used to shape the seedbed, the slopes and the resoiled areas. We have included the cost <br /> to reduce the working face highwall using a D6T Cat dozer from near vertical to 3:1 if mining ends <br /> prematurely. The table below outlines the various areas of disturbance under this scenario. These <br /> figures are then used in the calculations for the bond amount. <br /> TABLE K <br /> ACTIVITY TOTAL SOIL DEPTH <br /> RESOILING 7.0 AC 3" <br /> ROOT ZONE PLACEMENT 7.0 AC 3" <br /> GRADING SEEDBED 7.0 AC <br /> NEEDS SEEDING 10.0 AC <br /> RESOIL @ 3" 2,283 Cu.
