addressed in the Reclamation Plan narrative. These features must be shown on Exhibit E -Map. This should describe
<br />the measures taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable
<br />co~guration consistent with the proposed future land use.
<br />(f) All Limited Impact 110 applications must provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the site
<br />based on what it would cost the state using an independent contractor to complete reclamation. Include the unit costs
<br />for the following activities as appropriate to the operation: backfilling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, mulching,
<br />fertilization, and labor to complete reclamation. Determine and specify the point during the operation when the site has
<br />reached a point of maximum disturbance. The cost to reclaim the site to the specifications of the Reclamation Plan at
<br />this point must be estimated. Unit costs (cost per cubic yard), volumes, haul or push distances, and grades must be
<br />included when backfilling and grading is part of the Reclamation Plan. Volume and unit costs for finish grading,
<br />subsoil and topsoil application must be provided in terms of cost per cubic yard. The estimated cos[ for fertilizer, seed
<br />and mulch acquisition and application must be provided as cost per acre.
<br />(2) Equipment costs must include such factors as equipment operator wages and benefits, fuel and lubricant
<br />consumption and depreciation. The cost to mobilize and demobilize the equipment from the nearest population center
<br />should be estimated.
<br />(3) All items referenced in the Reclamation Plan must be included in the cost calculation. These items in addition
<br />to earthwork, such as detoxification, building demolition, fencing, monitoring well sealing or stream channel
<br />reconstruction must also be included in the reclamation cost estimate.
<br />(4) After the direct costs noted above have been estimated, the Office may add up to an additional maximum
<br />eighteen and one-half (18.5%) percent of that total, which includes private contract, typical overhead costs. Tlus
<br />additional cost is required to cover indirect costs that an independent wntractor would incur when performing
<br />reclamation of the site. Five (5%) percent additional cost shall be added to cover Office administration cost in the event
<br />of bond forfeiture and permit revocation.
<br />F.XAiRiT F. - Ma~rRnle fi 3.51 (1) In addition to the requirements of 6.2.1(2), you must provide a map that
<br />clearly describes [he features associated with the mining plan and the components of the Reclamation Plan. Include one
<br />map for the mine plan and one map for the Reclamation Plan. The map(s) must be drawn to a scale no smaller than
<br />appropriate to clearly show all elements that are required to be delineated by the Act and these Rules; show a north
<br />arrow, note any section corners adjacent to the proposed operation, and indicate the date illustrated. At a minimum,
<br />maps must include the following information:
<br />(2) Minipg Plan Man
<br />(a) outline and label the permit boundaries, described in Exhibit A -Legal Description; for all Limited
<br />Impact 110 and Special 111 Operations, the Office considers the area bounded by the permit boundary to be analogous
<br />to the affected area;
<br />(b) label the names of owner(s) of record of the surface of the affected area, of the land mithin two
<br />hundred (200) feet of the affected azea, identify the owner of the substance to be mined, and the t}Pe of structure and
<br />owners of record of any permanent or man-made stmctures within 200 feet of the affected area:
<br />(c) outline and label all major surface features [o be used in connection with the proposed operation such
<br />as: existing and proposed roads. pit boundary; topsoil stockpiles, overbnrden stockpiles. product stockpiles, waste rock
<br />fills, stream channels, buildings, processing plant, underground openings such as adits or ventilation facilities, ponds,
<br />impoundments, dewatering pumps, diversions, tail or waste disposal areas;
<br />(d) indicate the direction that mineral extraction will proceed;
<br />(e) note the location of any significant, valuable, and perntanent man-made structures within two hundred
<br />(200) feet of the affected area such as houses, barns, fences, above or below ground utilities, irrigation ditches,
