2.05.4 (2) (b) RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATE FOR BOND CALCULATION <br />Reclamation Equipment required is as follows: <br />1 Hydraulic shovel <br />3 30 Ton Trucks <br />1 Dozer (D9L) <br />1 Water Truck <br />1 Motorgader <br />All to be used for life of project. <br />Total Material to be handled = 3,520,000 BCY <br />At 500 BCY/hr. = 7,040 hrs. = 880 shifts = 59 wks @ 15 sh./wk. Assume 14 <br />months, 3 shifts/day, Sve days/wk. <br />Hauls from present long term spoil dumps to last strip in A & B pits are to long for <br />scrapers. Smaller equipment similar to that used by OSM in their example was <br />chosen. Spoil ridge reduction will not be required as Coors, with its extended <br />bench mining method, flattens the nearest spoil pile to AOC soon after placement. <br />'There will be roads to maintain as well as rough and final gading on the topsand, <br />so, both motorgader and dozer will be needed for life of project. <br />The use of rubber tired loading equipment has been found to be unsatisfactory in <br />the Keenesburg environment, therefore, an 8.5 CY tracked hydrauhc shovel has <br />been chosen, similar to the one presently on the property. <br /> <br />118 <br />
