(v) Mulch is recommended with clean, weed free straw at two tons per acre. <br /> Mulch must be properly crimped into the soil with a disc or mulch <br /> crimper. <br /> (vi) No shrubs or trees are to be planted. <br /> D. No ponds, streams, or buildings will remain after reclamation. <br /> E. During both mining and reclamation the prevailing hydrologic balance of the <br /> affected land and the surrounding area will not be adversely affected. <br /> F. The following is an estimate of reclamation costs. Reclamation costs are limited <br /> to shaping the site, placing the top soil, and re-vegetation. <br /> Shaping: <br /> Shaping the pit is done with a dozer. It is estimated that a dozer and operator can <br /> shape 0.2 acres per hour of reclaimed pit. <br /> Mobilization (from Rangely) <br /> Equipment cost: $60.00 per hour or $300.00 per acre <br /> Labor cost: $30.00 per hour or $150.00 per acre <br /> Total Shaping $450.00 per acre <br /> Placing Top Soil: <br /> Placing top soil is done with a scraper. A scraper with a capacity of 16 cubic yard <br /> load wil I take 5 hours to place top soil on 1 acre of reclaimed pit. Production rate <br /> is 10 loads per hour. <br /> Mobilization (from Rangely) <br /> Equipment cost: $65.00 per hour or $325.00 per acre <br /> Labor cost: $30.00 per hour or $150.00 per acre <br /> Total placing top soil $475.00 per acre <br /> Re-vegetation: <br /> Seed and application $700.00 per acre <br /> TOTAL RECLAMATION COST: $1625.00 per acre <br />
