4.12 EXHIBIT L -Reclamation Cos <br />The permit boundary encompasses 160 acres of which 90.3 acres will be disturbed by the tiu-ee <br />phases of mining. Of the 90.3 acres, 88.7 acres will be disturbed and reclaimed and 1.6 acres will <br />be disturbed and remain as an un-reclaimed access road and ditch crossings on the owner's <br />property. If topsoil is spread on [he 90.3 acres at a depth of 12 inches, 145,684 cubic yards of <br />topsoil is required. Actual material available for placement may be considerably less. The <br />Applicant/Operator believes there are 4 to 12 inches of material available for placement during <br />reclamation. However, the operator will salvage all available topsoil with the intention of <br />replacing topsoil to a 12-inch depth. <br />Reclamation Estimate <br />Reclamation of the permit area will be contemporaneous with the excavation of the gravel pi[ and <br />at no time will more than 10 acres of [he permit area be open and un-reclaimed. Phase I of the <br />permit area will be reclaimed before Phase II is completely opened and Phase II of the permit area <br />will be reclaimed before Phase III is completely opened. <br />The Applicant/Operatoresserts that since at no time will more than 10 acres of the permit area <br />will be open and un-reclaimed, 10 acres is appropriate as a base for reclamation. <br />Therefore, the reclamation cost estimate will be based on the placement of 16,133 cubic yards of <br />cover material (10 acres at 12 inches depth) on the disturbed areas of the gravel pit. <br />Reclamation Cost Estimate: <br />Remove portable equipment $2,000 <br />Remove Piers for Temporary Scales 500 <br />Spread & Place Topsoil/Growth Medium (16,133 cu.yds. x $1.50) 24,200 <br />Seed & Fertilize (10.0 acres x $1201 1 200 <br />Total Estimate for Bond <br />$27,900 <br />Rece1Ved <br />JUN 3 p ?000 <br />o~~ <br />Ory~n ot~ erat~8 ~BOI~ <br />L-1 <br />
