RECLAMATION COSTS <br />EXHIBIT L <br />• The worst case reclamation costs occur when the mining is taking place in the new lease area to the <br />south and there are 3 strips in various stages of activity and the entire existing lease area still requires <br />reclamation. Also, the visual berm would need to be smoothed out. Final seeding area = 29.8 acres <br />(original area) + 10.5 acres (three strips) + 2.79 ac (Strip 10) + 3.21 acres (Strip 11) + 2.25 acres <br />(Strip 11) + 0.9 acres (sediment pond) = 49.45 acres. <br />Worst case reclamation costs for this scenario are given below: <br />(Reclamation of 1.56 acre mine area on east end of existing Berry Pit will occur prior to final <br />reclamation) <br />fLJ <br />~J <br />Task Description Time Needed Cost <br /># months <br />1 Regrade two new lease area strips to 1.0 $9570 <br /> final grade. 14500 cy @ $0.66 per cy <br />Z Replace overburden on I strip. 3.4 0.25 $6033 <br /> acres x 1 ft depth = 5485 cubic yards <br /> @ @1.10 per cy <br />3 Replace topsoil from Stockpile C on 0.4 $9050 <br /> regraded strip.
