<br />EXHIBIT L RECLAMATION COSTS <br /> <br />Because of the type of proposed reclamation and final land use, the costs <br />of reclamation are expected to be negligible. This is to say that the time <br />and equipment costs to the operator above and, beyond those expected for the <br />mining operation itself will be very small. The mining plan and mining metli- <br />ods, which the operator has used in the past, have proven to result in an area <br />that can be reclaimed to a conservation/wildlife habitat land use without ex- <br />pensive reclamation efforts. <br />The operator and owner, 4Jeld County, being a governmental organization, is un- <br />der unique financial constraints. It is more economical for 41e1d County to fol- <br />low a mining plan which will facilitate a natural reclamation process than to <br />reclaim the land for other uses. The proposed land use was selected, in part, <br />because of the negligible cost of reclamation. <br />
