Work started in Pits 1 and 2 and <br /> consisted of pushing a large stockpile of rock and dirt into the pits. Rocks in the pile ranged from 2 feet to 6 inches in <br /> diameter. Not enough material was available to fill the pits to grade. A depression remains, but side slopes were blended <br /> in with the surrounding area. The topsoil pile was used to cover the large rock as well as ditch cleaning material stockpiled <br /> by the Town of Alma. Topsoil cover was spread to a depth of 2 to 4 inches. After topsoil was spread the area was seeded, <br /> biosol was distributed and the area was mulched with two tons of certified weed free mulch per acre. A special seed mixture <br /> was prescribed by the USFS consisting of native species. Miscellaneous mining trash and debris were hauled from the site. <br /> Change Order#1- No additional costs were associated with this change order. Additional work was required at the Beal <br /> Placer that was not previously noted in the scope of work. Equipment rental hours (10 hrs at$100.00/hr) was converted into <br /> specific tasks including spreading the additional material stockpiled by the Town of Alma and spreading out the small <br /> stockpiles west of Pit 2 and blending it in with the surrounding area. One additional acre of reclamation was required due to <br /> the amount of disturbance. The project completion date was extended with an additional 3 days given the additional work. <br /> A total of 3 acres were reclaimed. The total cost for this work was $14,582.00.The project was completed on 10/6/2010. <br /> Remaining Reclamation Requirements and Estimated Cost: <br /> There are no additional reclamation requirements for the Beal Placer Mine. <br /> (-)(4, <br /> Project Manager Senior Proj-•c ,1- anager <br /> -- 0)1) i05/o <br /> Date Date <br />
