9.3.1 Reclamation Costs <br />• The reclamation costs anticipated for the disturbed area are <br />presented in Table 4.3-1. These are the costs associated with <br />complete restoration of the site at the end of operation as a coal <br />loading facility by NCIG. <br />Table 4.3-1. Final Reclamation Costs <br />Current <br />Removal of coal wastes $ 1,051 <br />Removal of project facilities 2,616 <br />Backfilling of sediment pond 367 <br />Regrading q7q <br />Abandonment of monitoring well 200 <br />Removal of signs and markers 100 <br />TOTAL COSTS $ 9,808 <br />• Removal of coal wastes from the coal stockpile and fines from the <br />sediment pond will be accomplished by front-end loader and truck. <br />The maximum volume of sediment calculated to accumulate in the pond <br />is 635 cubic feet or 23.5 cubic yards. This volume ignores the <br />existence of 10 inches of gravel covering the entire permit area. <br />Assuming the protective sand layer above the liner becomes mixed <br />with coal fines, approximately 900 cubic yards of material would <br />require removal from the coal storage pad. Therefore, approximate- <br />ly 425 cubic yards of material would be removed and hauled back to <br />the mine site. Using loader efficiencies established in the <br />permit C-84-065, 1990 Revision of approximately 200 cubic yards per <br />hour, approximately 2 hours would be required to remove and load <br />onto haul trucks. Therefore, at a cost of $140 per hour for the <br />machine and S18/hour for the operator, $316 would be required to <br />remove the "wastes". Haulage of 420 cubic yards back to the mine <br />site is expected to cost $1.75/cubic yard (or $735). Total cost <br />• NCIG - Load Out Revision 4-10 ABC/1145/910531 <br />,~ ~4l <br />
