• EXHIBIT L <br />RECLAMATION COS (REVISED January 7, 1998) <br />This reclamation cost estimate in based on the assumption that <br />there will be no more that 20.00 acres t disturbed at any one time. <br />It also assumes, that when it comes time to resoil the SLAB rock area <br />that only 12 inches of soil would be spread over the disturbed area. <br />The remaining overburden piles would be graded and seeded. At that <br />time we will have to respread 17,424 cubic yards of topsoil. The time <br />when the most bank sloping would be necessary is either at the begin- <br />ning of mining when the excavated area would have slope on all four <br />sides that needed sloping. On a 15 ac. area this would mean there are <br />2975 linear feet (LFT) around the exterior of the hole. Using the <br />numbers shown on the typical sketch and cross section attached and <br />assuming that since sloping would run concurrent with mining approxi- <br />mately 408 of the cut/fill work would be done and 358 of the rock fill <br />would be left. The table below outlines the various areas of distur- <br />bance at that time. A D-9 dozer will be used to do the shaping and <br />resoiling. The revegetation cost figure for the slab rock area <br />includes fertilizer, grass seed, mulch and drilling costs. The <br />revegetation cost for the surface rock area is only covers raking, <br />fertilizer and seed. The current tree cover is 238 of the site so <br />using 670 trees with a 608 survival rate so 400 per ac. remain we need <br />to plant 2600 on 3.92 acres of the 15.0 ac. <br />STAGE TOTAL SOIL DEPTH <br />NEEDS RES OILING 1 O.BO 1 2° <br />REVEGETATION SLAB AREA 1 S.O^ <br />R EVEG STATION SURFACE AREA 5.00 <br />SLOPE CUT/FILL 2468 LINEAR FEET <br />SLOPE ROCK FILL Bfi5 LINEAR FEET <br />RES OIL @ 1 2~ 1 7,424 CUBIC YARO5 <br />EST/MATED UN/T COSTS FOR RECLAMAT/ON /TEMS: <br /> Unit Cost <br />1.
