Will reseeded areaSbe mulched? The staff recommends mulching reseeded <br />areas with 2 tonsjacre native grass hay or straw. The mulch should then <br />be crimped in along the contour. Please respond. <br />Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs <br />1. We estimate reclamation costs to be as follows: <br />a. Bulldozer to spread topsoil/overburden 6-12" thick: <br />1210 cu. yds. X $.40/cu.yd. (assume 150 ft. push) _ $484/acre. <br />b. Tracked backhoe to recontour roads: <br />$1,100/ac. (from estimates on two projects with similar roads). <br />c. Labor: one man hour per acre to spread fertilizer and seed = <br />$15.00/acre. i <br />d. Seedbed preparation = S60/acre. <br />e. Harrowing to cover seed = $30/acre. <br />f. Seed = $52/acre. <br />g. Fertilizer = $30/acre. <br />h. tulching including materials, application, and crimping = $340/acre. <br />2. Total cost per acre for flat areas = <br />$1011.00/acre X 9.8 acres (maximum) = E9907.80. <br />3. Total cost per acre for haul road = <br />$1627.00/acre X 5.2 acres = $8460.40. <br />4. Total bonding cost for 15 acres (maximum) of disturbance = $18,368.20 <br />say $18,000.00. <br />tr~h <br />6643E <br />
