<br />3. Case for Full Reclamation of Site as it Exists at End of 1998. <br />At the end of 1998, the site consists of t~vo lakes in Phase 1, as shown on the End of 1998 <br />Operation Status Map, enclosed in this section. The Final Reclamation Plan Map for this <br />scenario is given as Exhibit F-2. One large lake at the west part of Phase I and one small lake <br />immediately southwest of the sand pile will be left after reclamation for wildlife habitat. <br />Assuming that no additional mining or other disturbance takes place, the reclamation costs are <br />somewhat less than those shown in the Phase 1 worst case already discussed. The major reason <br />for the lower costs is the fact that the sand pile is considerably closer to the lakes than that <br />contemplated in the worst case scenario. The breakdown of the reclamation areas is given <br />below: <br />Area Maximum <br />Bonded Maximum to be <br />Retopsoiled Maximum to <br />be Seeded <br />Plant Area 49.2 acres 0.0 0.0 <br />Large Sand Pile 19.4 acres 19.4 19.4 <br />Small Sand Piles Behind Lake 12.0 acres 12.0 12.0 <br />Lake 28.4 acres 13.4 13.4 <br />Topsoil/Overburden Piles 7.9 acres 0.0 7.9 <br />Area of Topsoil Stripping 6.1 acres 6.1 6.1 <br />Regraded and Topsoiled Area 10.4 acres 0.0 9.2 <br />Regraded Area with no Topsoil 10.0 acres 10.0 10.0 <br />Total Maximum Disturbed Area 143.4 60.9 78.0 <br />4. Reclamation Bond Costs Eod 1998 Reclamation <br />For the end 1998 reclamation scenario, the following tasks must be accomplished: <br />1) Remove all structures on site. <br />The office trailers, power poles, shop building, substation and sediment pond will be kept for <br />industrial use after reclamation, as requested by the landowners. All other items will be sold at <br />auction or removed by the operator. It is assumed that minor cleanup will be required in the <br />amount of $4000. The cost for this task is therefore estimated as 4 000. <br />Ptr ~Ne,vu=uT 12198 89-1 <br />
