<br />VIII. EXHIBIT L -RECLAMATION COSTS <br />The following updated reclamation cost exhibit has been provided to assist DMG with calculation of a new <br />bond for the facility based on the changes proposed in this Amendment. The costs have been calculated on <br />a per-acre basis to allow calculation of the costs of reclamation of affected areas at the Moaison Quarry. <br />E~ecause the previous reclamation cos[ estimate (Amendment No. 4) was acceptable to DMG and is less than <br />6~ur years old, the same unit costs have been used in this update, adjusted for inflation, and the acreages <br />changed to reflect the new plan: <br />• Surface Preparation Per Acre(backfilling and grading) <br />(Assume average IOH:I V slopes, 60 ft avera e bench width, average of 3 ft ,f~ <br />depth = 5,000 yds'/acre at $0.75/yd' o ~ ~~` i ~; + ~ I ~ ~lz's ~,~,1 ~ 3 750 <br />• <br />• <br />Hydroseeding/I-lydromulching Per Acre <br />(Includes seed, mulch, tackifier, and fertilizer) ~ !66 ~, ~ y~wl`" <br />Trees and Shrubs Per Acre <br />(250 stems/Ac. at 52.00/stem, planted) <br />TOTAL COST PER ACRE <br />TOTAL ADJUSTED COST PER ACRE"' <br />1 0 <br />COST OF RECLAMATION PER MINING PHASE`Z" <br />• <br />• <br />Noies: <br />~n <br />rn <br />Phase I (95.5 Acres) <br />Phase II (88.2 Acres) <br />Phase III (140.7 Acres) <br />Phase IV (84.5 Acres) <br />$ 500 Q K <br />0 a~d <br />6 347 ~~ ° <br />nl~ <br />~sa~-t'gs~ <br />06 131 t e <br />$559.799 <br />~~/a ~e <br />3 <br />q~8 ~d <br />i telly ~~d <br />ca ~di~arr'' <br />Olt <br />53 315 <br />Total adJusted reclamation cost per acre equals 1994 cost per acre adjusted for inflation at 2.5 percent per year for <br />four years. <br />Costs are [o assist DMG with bonding estimates only and represent the total anticipated maximum disturbance per <br />phase.
