<br /> <br /> <br />• <br />• <br />• <br /> <br /> <br />Reclamation Costs <br />During most of the mining, the primary (2.8 acres) and sernndary <br />(2.4 acres) stockpiling/crushing area will be in some state of <br />disturbance. If we add these two areas, plus the tree planting <br />area (.50 acre) and the other largest portion (other part of <br />Phase iV - 4.3 acres), the total area that could be in a state of <br />disturbance at any one time is 10 acres. Based on the above the <br />reclamation costs are calculated as follows: <br />Vegetation/Acre <br />*HUffalo Grass - 8.01/lb x 25 lbs = <br />*Hlue Grams - 5.40/lb x 3 lbs = <br />*Crested Wheatgrass - 1.14/lb x 10 lbs = <br />Maximum per acre seed costs <br />**Trees - Total <br />Nursery Russian Olive $22/100 x 3.50 = <br />Nursery Rocky Mountain Juniper <br />$18/30 potted x 2.10 = <br />Tree planting - 20 hrs x 7.50/hr = <br />Total <br />Equipment and Labor/Acre <br />Grading and Shaping with Operator <br />~ $100/hr x 4 hr/acre = <br />Ripping Compacted Areas with Operator <br />$80/hr x 2. hr/acre <br />Recoiling, Smoothing Seed Heds, and Seed <br />Drilling <br />~ $50/hr x 10 hrs = <br /> <br />• <br />• <br />Total l Acre <br />* From Anderson Seed, Greeley, Colorado <br />** From Forest Service <br />Total Reclamation Estimates <br />Seed Cost/Acre <br />Equipment/Labor/Acre <br />Trees <br />Total <br />• <br />$200.25 <br />16.20 <br />11.40 <br />$227.85 <br />$77.00 <br />126.00 <br />150.00 <br />,. <br />$353.00 <br />$400.00 <br />160.00 <br />500.00 <br />$1,060.00 <br />227.85 <br />1,060.00 <br />1,287.00 <br />x 10 acres <br />12,878.50 <br />353.00 <br />$13,321.50 <br /> <br />
