Waste rock will be pushed into the <br />marble bed cut at the completion of mining to result in slopes no steeper than 3:1 and <br />topsoil will be hauled and placed on top of the final graded waste rockpile, as per above <br />topsoil handling estimates. Final grading of waste rock azea will include pushing rock <br />into the mining cut and grading the waste rock to the east (after topsoil stockpile is hauled <br />away) to result in final grade of 3: I, prior to topsoil application. <br />Area to be final graded: 20 acres, bulldozer speed and efficiency as above; <br />20 acres x 43560 sq ft/ac = 871200 sq ft / 12' pass = 72600 lineal ft / 1584ft/hr = <br />46 hrs x 2 (return cycletime) = 92 hours @ $140 $12880 <br />Area to be contour furrowed: 20 acres, bulldozer speed and efficiency asabove = <br />46 hours @ $140 = $6440 <br />Subtotal, Dozer Grading of Waste Rockpiles, Life of Mine $24360 <br />25 <br />
