• <br />' • EXHIBIT L. - RECLAMATION COSTS <br />I <br />The attached Table L was used to approximate the maximum reclamation costs <br />at any one time. <br />The following planting cost estimates are taken from the Soil Conservation <br />Service guides, which are based on accumulative data for project bid work. <br />(All costs per acrE~). <br /> Major Moderate Minor <br />Earthwork.: !'- <br />(Final Bank Shaping & Scarifying) 400 150 75 <br />Topsoil (haul, Place & Spread) 520 175 100 <br />Seedbed Preparation l0U 75 50 <br />Fertilizer 50 50 50 <br />Seed & Planting 100 75 75 <br />r•lul~n loo loo loo <br />Trees & 8uslres 200 200 200 <br /> 1470 825 650 <br />A maximum of 15.0 Acres (10.0 Acres in the Major Dis turbance and 5.0 Acres <br />• in the Moderate disturbance category ) was used for t he extractio n area at <br />any one time. This seems reasonable as the average annual area to be mined <br />is about 9.0 Acres. The maximum bond amount is base d on the fol lowing: <br />Ma; or Disturbance 10.0 Acres X 1470 = 14,700 <br />toderate Disturbance 23.0 Acres X 825 = 18,975 <br />(Plant @ 17.5 8 Roads @ 5.5 ±) <br />Minor Disturbance 9.0 Acres X 650 5,850 <br />= <br /> _ <br />_ <br />39,525 <br /> Say..... .$40,000.00 <br />Table L. Shows that the maximum bond amount would be fairly cons istent for <br />the operational years. <br />If availat~le "windbreak" trees and other seedlings from the Soil Conserva- <br />tion Service will be used to assist in the proposed reclamation plantings. <br />REVISED: 9-16-83 <br /> <br />G - 1 <br />
