<br />~~~ £~~ <br /> <br />Colorado Gravel Products Inc. <br />45247 Hwy. 112 <br />Center, CO 81125 <br />L~,, EXHIBIT L-Reclamation Costs <br />Mobilization costs are based on using a D8 dozer rented from local contractors from <br />either Monte Vista CO. or Mosca CO. <br />Land preparation will consist of land planing with a spring tooth chisel attached <br />directly to the land plane. <br />Topsoil replacement will be conducted in two different manners. Topsoil stockpiles will <br />be pushed and spread with a D8 dozer. The topsoil stockpile areas are placed to <br />assure a push and drop of less than 300 ft. The operator plans to use a scraper to <br />remove and replace topsoil as soon as mining and shaping has been completed. This <br />remove and replace method, making reclamation a part of mining, will speed up <br />reclamation and help reduce reclamation costs. Also topsoil stockpiles will be small <br />and placed where they will not be disturbed keeping revegetation costs low. <br />Straw mulch will be spread at a rate of two tons per acre, mechanically spread <br />crimped or harrowed in place. <br />
