Bonding Spreadsheet have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of compacted cubic yards to loose cubic yards. A Cat D-8R dozer was scheduled full time with the Cat 992C loader to rip and pile the material for more efficient loading. in addition, the bucket fill factor for the loader was increased to 0.9 to account for the increased efficiency with the dozer assisting. 6. The compaction of the facilities area bench material discussed in Section 5 adequately explains the lack of sufficient spoil material to meet the post-mining topography of the initial mid-term bonding/reclamation plan submitted to the Division. Because the swelled volume of 66,412 LCY from the facilities bench area (see p.l) was not included in the overburden balance, it was necessary to blast the highwall area for additional spoil material. Bowever, the assumed 20 percent swell factor for the compacted bench material plus minimal dozing of the highwall crests (31,825 BCY) will balance the overburden without need of drilling and blasting. The overburden balance on page 1 of the Revised Bonding Spreadsheets, Maps 14AR1 Bond Calculation Cross Sections, and Map 20R1 Closing Sequence have all been modified to reflect this change in the reclamation plan. 7. The topsoil volume figure for stockpiles A and R provided on page 2 of the Spreadsheets has been revised to the correct total volume figure of 16,600 LCY. 8. The road leading from topsoil stockpiles A and R to the facilities area is a permanent landowner's access road per Technical Revision 03 approved September 1, 1983. Therefore, the cost of reclaiming this road has not been included in the bonding cost estimate. All haul or access roads requiring reclamation are located either on the facilities area bench or within disturbed pit areas. Therefore, backfilling and grading costs are already included in the spoil material movement hours. Quantities of material placed in the haul road cut are provided on Map 14AR1, Bonding Calculations Cross Sections. 9. Dimensions, volumes, means building construction costs and foundation types have been provided for each structure in the Overhead and Demobilization Cost Table on page 6 of the Bonding Spreadsheets. Structural demolition costs for the scale, scale house, fuel storage tanks, oil barrel and tire storage, concrete pads and other demobilized equipment have been revised using current Division procedures. The coal crusher and radial stacker have already been removed from the mine site and have, therefore, been excluded from this revised bonding estimate.
