No waste rock or dumps will remain on the sites after mining. Rocks are silicates and will need no <br />treatment to prevent leaching of toxic materials as none aze produced. All materials will be used to <br />backfill the original excavations. No other features will be created which will potentially affect the <br />hydrological balance or off-site areas. Reclamation efforts will result in contoured slopes to trap rain <br />runoff. We will also use some rock water-bazs in the natural depressions to prevent any major gullying <br />which could occur after heavy rain. Presently, timber from the Hayman fire is being Laid down across <br />slope and across these depressions to reduce possible erosion. <br />6.3.4. (21 Actual reclamation cost estimates <br />Cost estimate is based on maximum excavation and disturbance at any possible time (worst case <br />scenario). Estimates aze based on actual past costs for reclamation. <br />Estimate is based on 4,000 sq' excavation at 80 feet by 50 feet by 25 feet deep. Waste rock is stored <br />within 20 feet of excavation. Topsoil and subsoil is stored within 20 feet of excavation. No roads aze <br />created which need reclaimed. Topsoil and waste rock storage sites need minimal reclamation (no <br />filling). <br />Roading in equipment 4 hours $ 50 200.00 <br />Backfill, contouring, and grading 10 hours $ 50 per hour 500.00 <br />Topsoil application, raking 2 hours $ 50 per hour 100.00 <br />Seeding and hand raking 6 hours $ 20 per hour 120.00 <br />Planting trees 8 hours $ 20 per hour 160.00 <br />Cost of seeds S lbs $ 4 per lb 20.00 <br />Cost of trees 24 at $30 per dozen 60.00 <br /> Total actual cost per site 1160.00 <br />Colorado office costs {@ 18.5%) 215.00 <br />Additional administrative costs (@ 5%) 60.00 <br /> Total estimated and actual costs 1435.00 <br />
