5. Demolition costs have risen since last estimated, and the previous estimate <br />allowed for the use of job bids (provided by the operator) from independent <br />salvage companies. The current policy of the Division does not allow for <br />consideration this type of information in determining reclamation costs. The <br />new estimate (Task 8) also includes costs for removal of the office building <br />and septic tank. Task 8 now includes demolition of the office building, and a <br />new task (86) was added for culvert removal; the old estimate assumed <br />permanent retention of the office and culverts, but their retention had not been <br />formally approved. <br />6. There has been a substantial increase in the cost of sealing portals and mine <br />entries (Task 9). This is based on actual costs incurred by the Division's <br />abandoned mine reclamation program. <br />7. Revegetation costs (Tasks 11, 12, and 13) aze neazly double the 1993 costs. <br />These costs are based on seed company data and actual Division costs. <br />New Task 14b was added for mobilization of equipment used for maintenance <br />and pond removal during the liability period. The assumption is based on <br />mobilizing a small dozer the first five yeazs, and a lazger dozer one time for <br />pond removal. <br />9. New Task 16 was added for weed control over the liability period. <br />10. New Task 18 was added for reclamation of alluvia] wells AA 1 and AA3, <br />reclamation of which had been inadvertently omitted from the previous <br />estimate. <br />The reclamation estimate is attached. Should you or the operator have any questions, <br />please let me know. <br />Attachments <br />cc: Sandy Brown w/o attachments <br />
