Market conditions are creating possibilities for wild fluctuation in any estimate of the time required for mining and reclamation. On the basis of current market conditions, we estimate that mining will be completed in three to five years, and reclamation will be com- pleted within two years after mining is finished. Reclamation Costs, Revised. It is anticipated that approximately 50 percent of the vegetated area of the Worthing property will require reseeding before an adequate reproductive growth of grass is obtained. Therefore, cost for reclamation oY the Worthing property is estimated on the basis of 4.44 acres to be reseeded. No other work should be necessary on the lands now owned by Mr. Worthing. On the Frei acreage, the lakes and roads are the result of the mining operation. The roads may require minimal final grading. The 0.711 acres included in house and yard area will require no further work. Of the 12.831 acres to be revegetated, approximately 3.56 acres have already been resoiled and seeded. However, we estimate that only about half of this area will demonstrate satisfactory growth. Thus, 9.271 acres may require resoiling and 11.05± acres may require reseeding. The beach and recreation area of 8.481 acres will require only that exist- ing sands be spread smoothly across the area. The basis upon which reclamation cost estimates have been made is as follows:
