<br /> <br />RECLAMATION COSTS <br />General <br />~~ <br />It is difficult to estimate the reclamation rusts since much of the sail <br />excavation and moving will be simultaneous with the mining operations. <br />Mining and processing of gravel is only a part of the costs of the materials <br />at the delivery site. The costs of haul determines the boundaries or econ- <br />omically selling materials Yemoved from any given pit. It is therefore <br />absolutely necessary to have many gravel pits located throughout the area, <br />thereby eliminating the necessity of long hauls. This will not only <br />reduce the cos[ of materials to the consumer but will greatly reduce the <br />demand on energy to move said materials. <br />It is planned [o move the soil to the locations where it is needed as tl~e <br />• overburden is removed. After mining is completed, the ground will be shaped <br />and the topsoil put in place. <br />The principal reclamation costs other than the above will be for contouring <br />and for planting of the grasses or other ground coverings as required. <br />This cost should not exceed $100.00 per acre. <br />L-1 <br />
