<br /> <br />Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs <br />we will provide two scenarios regarding the reclamation <br />of the Phases 5, 6 and 7 area of the gravel pit. The first will <br />address the reclamation as though groundwater is encountered <br />during mining, creating a pond area of approximately 10 acres. <br />The second scenario will address reclamation as though no <br />groundwater is found and the entire area reclaimed. <br />SCENARIO 1 <br />Reclamation for the existing permit areas will remain as <br />before, with Phases 5, 6 and 7 being reclaimed in the same <br />manner. Mining of the site will create a rangeland/recreational <br />area of 29.92 acres. It may also create a pond area of about <br />10.04 acres. Reclamation will be done in conjunction with the <br />operation, the following estimates are thus probably somewhat <br />conservative. Reclamation tasks are based on a site with <br />approximately 23 acres of area to be reclaimed, excluding the <br />access, others roads and pond. The remainder of the site is <br />to remain undisturbed. The following figures include the <br />reclamation of the existing permit area as well as the new <br />phases. <br />- Grade pit sideslopes with a D-8 dozer. <br />Approx. ±6.7 acres of shoreline (includes <br />area below water) @ $819.57/ac $5491.12 <br />- Replace approx. 4 - 6 ( 5" ave) inches of <br />topsoil on 23 acres. <br />(shores are above water and immediately adjacent <br />areas) using appropriate equipment. <br />Approx. $292.09/ac $6718.07 <br />- Seed bed prep- discing $35/ac. $ 805.00 <br />drilling $48/ac $1104.00 <br />seed cost $273.88/ac $6299.24 <br />- Ripping to 24" depth $155.27/ac $3571.21 <br />- Fertilize 23 acres- 2001bs/ac @$30/ac $ 690.00 <br />- Mulch- 1 ton/ac <br />materials cost $60/ac $1380.00 <br />application cost $172/ac $3965.00 <br />- Mobilze/demobilize <br />TOTAL COST SCENARIO <br />SCENARIO 2 <br />This reclamation cost estimate <br />±34.34acres to be reclaimed to <br />Reclamation will occur in conj <br />equipment $1913.50 <br />1 $31937.19 <br />will encompass an area of <br />rangeland/ recreational area. <br />unction with mining, thus the <br />
