Calculating an average depth of 7 inches of topsoil times 33.9 acres,the <br /> Division estimates that an additional 31, 917 cubic yards of topsoil will be required. <br /> Please describe the total area of disturbance which has not yet been topsoiled,including the 33.9 <br /> acres being added as land surface. Also, please document the amount of topsoil you have <br /> available and demonstrate that there is adequate topsoil available to cover the disturbed area <br /> with 6 to 8 inches of topsoil. <br /> 2. The Division's reclamation cost estimate completed on August 19, 1996 did not include the <br /> excavation of any bedrock shale. <br /> Since the time of the reclamation cost estimate, the operator has completed the removal of <br /> facilities and done additional finish grading work. <br /> Please provide the Division with an estimate of the remaining cubic yards of material which <br /> must be moved to obtain the proposed final contours and the average push distance required to <br /> move the material. <br /> Also. please provide the Division with the yardage of topsoil which must still be distributed. <br /> .where it must be placed and the locations of this material,as well as the total remaining acreage <br /> %khich must be seeded. <br /> WMI <br /> EXHIBIT NO 16 <br />
