EXHIBIT L RECLAMATION COSTS <br /> This section details the cost of fully reclaiming the Newby Aggregate Recycling site and <br /> discusses the bond currently in place for the Carol Ann Pit. The Newby Aggregate Recycling <br /> facility will be fully reclaimed when the 26 acres that currently have a primary final use of <br /> pasture land are converted to a final primary use of industrial/commercial. The current bond is <br /> for the revegetation of 29 acres and is detailed in . The new primary final use of the site as <br /> industrial/commercial will require less than 29 acres to be revegetated. The current bond is <br /> sufficient and no additional bond will be required for this amendment. <br /> The purpose of this amendment is to convert the primary final use of 26 acres of the site from <br /> pastureland to industrial/commercial. The five acres that are currently disturbed lie within the 26 <br /> acres that will have a primary final use of industrial/commercial and will therefore not require <br /> revegetation. Some portions of the industrial/commercial areas will be revegetated for the <br /> purposes of erosion control, but these areas are included in the 26 acres of ground that will <br /> have a primary final use of industrial/commercial. Under no circumstances will the conversion of <br /> 26 acres of the site that is mostly revegetated from a primary final use of pasture to a primary <br /> final use of industrial/commercial require the operator to revegetate 29 acres. This fact ensures <br /> that the current bond will be sufficient to reclaim the site. <br /> The current bond held by the CDRMS for the Carol Ann Pit is $ 77,900 and is based on <br /> reclaiming a worse-case scenario of 29 acres. The bond tasks are described below and the <br /> bond cost for the Carol Ann Pit is summarized in Table L-1. Below is the sequence for <br /> reclamation that would occur for the worse-case scenario of reclaiming 29 acres and was used <br /> to calculate the bond for the Carol Ann Pit: <br /> 1. Mobilize and demobilize equipment. <br /> 2. Remove of facilities. <br /> 3. Regrading of high walls <br /> 4. Topsoil surfacing of five acres. A front-end loader will load topsoil from a stockpile into a <br /> haul truck that drives an average of 500 feet prior to dumping. A bulldozer will then <br /> spread 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 /> Carol Ann Pit M-1 ® Lewicki&Associates <br /> November 2021 <br />
