r~ <br /> <br />EXHIBIT -L- RECLAMATION COSTS <br />• <br />• <br />The Avery pit will be reclaimed by stripping the topsoil <br />from the new area to be mined and spreading the topsoil <br />over the slopes of the already mined area. The stripping <br />and topsoil operation will cost $326/AC. <br />The newly topsoiled areas will be seeded and fertilized <br />as the soil conservation service has recommended. (See <br />exhibit 1) The application rate will be double the <br />recommended rate (See page 2 of soil conservation service <br />letter) or 12.4 pounds per acre of pure live seed. A Jan. <br />15,1979 quote from Arkansas Valley seed for the seed only <br />is $9Q.64 per acre. <br />The American Fertilizer Co. recommends a 20-20-0 <br />combination of 200# 1 acre of fertilizer.
