<br />Please note that some of these roads may remain because <br />they access BLM property. I could not find any <br />information in the permit regarding roads to remain in <br />place. You may want to pose this question to the <br />operator, <br />d. Task #6, #7, #8 - I included a cost for grading the roads <br />using a Cat D4H dozer. This may be an overkill after <br />ripping, but due to the lack of information, I felt that <br />it was necessary. These combined tasks total $3,769.00. <br />e. Task #9 - I included a cost for removing various culverts <br />located on site. Maps were viewed to determine which <br />culverts would remain with the ponds. I have determined <br />that culverts #3, #5, #6 & #8 would most likely be <br />removed. This of coarse, would depend on the conclusion <br />that some of the roads may remain in place. The cost to <br />remove these culverts total $6,069.00. <br />f. Task #lla & #llb- An estimated 7 monitoring wells remain <br />on site. There appear to be 2 dry wells and 5 wells that <br />encounter an aquifer. Dry wells were estimated to be 100 <br />feet deep, while wet wells average amount 140 feet. This <br />information was derived from the hydrology section of the <br />permit. The cost to seal and plug all wells total <br />$5,541.00. <br />g. Task #13 & #14 - Re-seeding cost were estimated at a 10$ <br />vegetation failure rate. The seed mix on page <br />4.15.7(2)(b) was used as the approved seed mix. I also <br />include a revegetation cost for disturbance associated <br />with reclaiming the roads, any additional backfilling <br />needed, and the well location areas. This total area was <br />estimated to be 5.4 acres. The combined cost to seed the <br />various areas was $13,799.00. <br />h. Task #15 - Per our conversation, I included a cost to <br />remove the barb-wire fence around the permit area. It <br />remains questionable whether this fence will remain <br />indefinitely. I went ahead and included an estimate <br />using information in MEANS 1994. Based on Exhibit K, the <br />fence is roughly 15,000 feet in length. MEANS estimates <br />a cost to remove the fence at a rate of .73/lf. The cost <br />associated with this task totals $10,950.00. <br />m:\coal\esc\HGmid <br />
