g) Fremont Paving will use BMPs along areas that are highly erosive in nature to prevent <br /> sediment from reaching the Arkansas River and Eight Mile Creek. Such measures are <br /> used presently along the southern end of the active mine area to ensure no sediment <br /> reaches the Arkansas River. This method will continue to be used throughout the life of <br /> the mine. <br /> h) Fremont Paving commits to marking all affected boundaries at a minimum of 200 feet <br /> spacing for adequate visualization of the bounardy. <br /> i. Revegetation-Affected land from the operation will return to open range grazing <br /> land which is its present use. As noted in the soil's information exhibit, the soil is <br /> moderately alkaline. Generally speaking, the surface layer is a sandy loam with <br /> cobbles. In some instances, a clay loam is present, but it is also filled with <br /> cobbles. In some areas the soil is very gravely or stony and these are indicated by <br /> the presence of pinon pine or juniper. Often these are on the gulch swales or <br /> erosion gullies. The present vegetation and the percent of vegetative cover <br /> indicate that the ground has been over grazed in the past. <br /> ii. Topsoiling-As indicated by field inspection and the soil reports, there is no <br /> topsoil on the site. In fact, over half of this site has no overburden to speak of. <br /> Some areas on the southern and eastern leg of the permit boundary contain <br /> overburden which will be stripped and stockpiled. Materials used for backfilling <br /> and plant growth will be predominately fines which are excess or unmarketable <br /> from the processing plant. These fines will be the sandy and loamy soils now <br /> present on the property but without the cobbles. With no rocks, the soil can be <br /> more easily planted with the grass seed. <br /> Direct Tasks Unit Quantity Cost Total Cost <br /> Placing Topsoil/Fines <br /> Bull Dozer Hours 0.33 $145.00 $47.85 <br /> Loader Hours 0.33 $145.00 $47.85 <br /> Seeding <br /> Broadcasting Hours 0.33 $300.00 $99.00 <br /> Seed Mix Acre 100 $35,000.00 $35,000.00 <br /> Mulch Acre 100 $18,700.50 $18,700.50 <br /> Tracking seed/mulch <br /> Dozer Hours 0.33 $154.00 $50.82 <br /> Area Reclaimed Acre 100 $78,420.40 <br /> Mobilization Fee Hours 1 $100 $100 <br /> Indirect Tasks <br /> Liability Insurance 0.0155 $1,215.52 <br /> Performance Bond 0.015 $1,176.31 <br /> Profit 0.1 $7,842.04 <br /> Job Superintendent Hours 20 $88.00 $1,760.00 <br /> Miscellaneous Indirect 0.0925 $7,253.89 <br /> Total Bond $151,714.18 <br />
