i <br />Attachment 3 <br />Estimated Costs of Reclamation <br /> <br />Reclamation consists of replacing overburden, top soil, and <br />reseeding an area of approximately 9 acres. The equipment <br />estimated to be used to reclaim the site includes a Cat 623 self <br />loading scraper and a medium size dozer such as a Cat D6. <br />Reclamation costs are estimated as follows: <br />Replace stockpiled topsoil on pit slopes at an average depth of six <br />inches and spreading the remaining overburden on the plant site and <br />stockpile area. Assuming average depth of overburden at twelve <br />inches over a nine acre site, approximately 15,000 cubic yards must <br />be replaced. <br />Assume replace 3,000 cubic yards per day with two Cat 623 scrapers <br />and one D6 dozer. <br />Hourly cost of 623 90.00 <br />Hourly cost of 623 90.00 <br />Hourly cost of D6 60.00 <br />Total hourly costs 240.00 <br />Daily costs/ 8 hr day 1,920.00 <br />Estimate 5.5 days, costs for overburden 10,560.00 <br />Replace stockpiled topsoil on pit slopes, plant site and stockpile <br />area at an average depth of six inches. Top soil to be replaced is <br />estimated at 7,250 cubic yards. Using the same equipment for <br />replacing overburden allow two days to replace the top soil. <br />Estimate for replacing topsoil 3,840.00 <br />Estimate for seed at $100.00/acre 900.00 <br />Estimate for tractor and seed drill <br />at $25.00/hr for 8 hrs. 200.00 <br />Total estimate for reclamation 15,500.00 <br />
