<br />' -9 <br />' 4. Specify which ponds, streams, roads and buildings, if any, will remain after <br />reclamation. These features must be shown on the Exhibit E - Map. If ponds are <br />part of the reclamation plan, slopes from 5 feet above to 10 feet below the <br />' expected waterline cannot be steeper than 3H:1V; remaining slope lengths may not be <br />steeper than 2H:1V. Where wildlife habitat is the proposed future land use, <br />shorelines shouid be Irregularly shaped to promote a diverse wildlife Habitat. <br /><The DOW should be consulted where wildlife fs the proposed future land use.) <br />' S. Specify the reclamation treatment of any waste rock dumps, tailing <br />impoundments, underground mine openings, ditches, sediment control facilities, <br />buildings and other features specified in your mine plan but not previously <br />addressed in the reclamation plan narrative. These features must be shown on <br />Exhibit E - Map. This should describe the measures taken to minimize disturbance <br />' to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for astable <br />configuration consistent with the proposed future land use. <br />6. You must provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the site based on <br />' what it would cost the state using an independent contractor to complete <br />reclamation. Please include the unit Costs for the following activities as <br />appropriate to the operation: backfilling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, <br />' mulching, fertilization, and labor to complete reclamation. You will need to <br />determine the point during the operation when the site has reached a point of <br />maximum disturbance. The cost to reclaim the site to the specifications of the <br />reclamation plan at this point must be estimated. Unit costs (cost per cubic <br />' yard), volumes, haul or push distances, and grades should be included when <br />backfilling and grading is part of the reclamation plan. Volume and unit costs for <br />finish grading, subsoil and topsoil application should be provided in terms of cost <br />' per cubic yard. The estimated cost for fertilizer, Seed and mulch acquisition and <br />application should be provided as cost per acre. <br />' Equipment costs must include such factors as operator wages and benefits, fuel and <br />lubricant consumption and depreciation. The cost to mobilize and demobilize the <br />equipment from the nearest population center should be estimated. <br />' All items referenced in the reclamation plan must be included in the cost <br />calculation. These items in addition to earthwork, such as detoxification of <br />cyanide heaps, building demolition, fencing, monitoring well sealing or stream <br />' channel reconstruction must also be included in the reclamation Cost estimate. <br />After the direct costs noted above have been estimated, 15.SX of that total should <br />be added to the estimate. This additional cost is required to cover Indirect costs <br />' that an independent contractor would incur when performing reclamation of the site. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
