~~i iiiiii~f~iia iii' • <br />999 <br />EXHIBIT L. - RECLAMATIOPI COSTS <br />The attached Table L was used to approximate the inaxiinum reclamation costs <br />at any one time, <br />The following planting cost estimates are taken from the Soil Conservation <br />Service yuides, which are based on accumulative data for project bid work. <br />(All costs per acre). <br /> Major Moderate Minor <br />Ea r~thwo rk <br />(Final Eank Sfraping & Scarifying) 400 150 75 <br />Topsoil (Haul, Place & Spread) 520 175 100 <br />Seedbed Preparation 100 75 50 <br />Fertilizer 50 50 50 <br />Seed & Planting 100 75 75 <br />Mulch 100 100 100 <br />' Trees & Bushes 200 200 200 <br /> 1470 825 X650 <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 foe the extractio n area at <br />any one tune. This seems reasonable as the average annual area to be mined <br />is shout 9.0 Acres. The maximum bond amount is base d on the fol lowing: <br />Major Disturbance 10.0 Acres X 1470 = 14,700 <br />Moderate Disturbance 23.0 Acres X 825 = 18,975 <br />(Plant @ 17.5 & Roads @ 5.5 ±) <br />Minor Disturbance 9.0 Acres X 650 = 5,850 <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 available "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 />L-1 <br />
