S -g- 4. Spey:ify which ponds, streams, roads and buildings, if any, will remain after reclamati~m. These features must be shown on the Exhibit E -Map. If ponds are part of t;~e reclamation plan, slopes from 5 feet above to 10 feet below the expected ~iaterline cannot be steeper than 3H:1V; remaining slope lengths may not be steeper than 2H:1V. Where wildlife habitat is the proposed future land use, shorelines should be irregularly shaped to promote a diverse wildlife habitat. (The DOW :should be consulted where wildlife is the proposed future land use.) 5. Specify the reclamation treatment of any waste rock dumps, tailing impoundments, underground mine openings, ditches, sediment control facilities, buildings and other features specified in your mine plan but not previously addressed in the reclamation plan narrative. These features msst be shown on Exhibit E - Map. This should describe the measures taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide fora stable configuration consistent with the proposed future land use. 6. The maximim amount of financial warranty for Limited Impact Operations that do not utilize cyanide processing is 55000. The Board will assess a financial warranty not to exceed $20,000 for any mining operation which uses cyanide compounds in a leaching or milling process. If you wish to commit to a E5 ,000 financial warranty, then you da not need to provide an estimate of reclamation costs. If you want to post a financial warranty of a lesser amount, then you must provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the site based on what it would cost the state using an independent contractor to complete reclamation. Please include the unit costs for the following activities as appropriate to the operation: back filling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, milching, fertilization, and labor to complete reclamation. You will need to determine the point during the operation when the site has reached a point of maxims m disturbance. The cost to reclaim the site to the specifications of the reclamation plan at this point msst be estimated. Unit costs (cost per cubic yard), volumes, haul or push distances, and grades should be included when backfilling and grading is part of the reclamation plan. Volume and unit costs for finish grading, subsoil and topsoil application should be provided in terms of cost per cubic yard. The estimated cost for fern:lizer, seed and mulch acquisition and application should be provided as cost per acre. Equipment costs must include such factors as operator wages and benefits, fuel and lubricant consumption and depreciation. The cost to mobilize and demobilize the equipment from the nearest population center should be estimated. All items referenced in the reclamation plan must be included in the cost calculation. These items in addition to earth work, such as detoxification of cyanide heaps, building demolition, fencing, monitoring well sealing or stream channel reconstrv ction nest also be included in the reclamation cost estimate. After the direct costs noted above have been estimated, 15.8 of that total should be added to the estimate. This additional cost is required to cover indirect costs that an independent contractor would incur when performing reclamation of the site.
