Kerr Coal Company <br />uses 2,4,-D and Tordon for weed control. The estimated cost for application is $138.55/acre (see JRS <br />memo to 2003 MT review, dated August 20, 2003). Assume weed management on 10% of the <br />revegetated areas. <br />Mine area: 386.77 acres 10%=38.7 acres <br />Loadout: 11.7 acres 10%=1.2%acres <br />Marc Mine area was reclaimed in 1996. Assume one last herbicide application at the reclaimed mine <br />area. 38.7 acres x $138.55/acre = $5361.88. <br />The Loadout was reclaimed in 1999. Assume three herbicide applications prior to final bond release. <br />(1.2 acres x $138.55/acre) x 3= $498.78 <br />Mine area +Loadout weed control= $5860.66 <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines ~ Geological Survey <br />
