EXHIBIT L RECLAMATION COSTS <br /> 1. Introduction <br /> This section details the cost of fully reclaiming the 23 '/4 West Pit site at the point in time where <br /> the most land is disturbed, and the resultant reclamation costs are the highest. This scenario <br /> would be near the end of the mine life, where the entire groundwater lake would need to be <br /> dewatered to accommodate topsoiling and revegetation. <br /> Temporary facilities onsite to support mining activity, such as the pumpset, fuel tanks, and <br /> portable toilets will all be removed during final reclamation. All of these facilities are portable. <br /> All equipment onsite is mobile. <br /> Elam will not phase the bond. Bond tasks are described below and the bond cost is summarized <br /> in Table L-1 . <br /> 1. Mobilize and demobilize equipment. <br /> 2. Remove of facilities including pumpset, fuel tanks, and portable toilets. <br /> 3. Dewatering of a 20.7 acre ground water lake. Lake depth is anticipated to be 13 feet. <br /> 4. Topsoil surfacing of 10-acres around the outside of the lake. For Area 1, a front end <br /> loader will load topsoil from a stockpile into a haul truck that drives an average of 800 <br /> feet prior to dumping. For Area 2, a haul truck will bring topsoil from Area 1 stockpile <br /> areas a distance of 1100 feet prior to dumping it in place. A bulldozer will then spreads <br /> topsoil to final thickness. <br /> 5. Topsoil preparation. Disking of soil with a tractor. <br /> 6. Rangeland seeding and mulching. Assuming a 50%failure rate. <br /> 23 114 West <br /> October 2020 <br />
