• 6, TA8 and TA9. This road will continue to be maintained in accordance with Rule 4.03.3 of the CMLRB Rules and Regulations. As mentioned previously, road surfacing material salvaged from the North and Lower Moffat Road (These were the only roads which had surfacing materials placed upon them) will be redistributed on the West Ridge Road, Skyline Road and at the upper facilities areas which are to be gravelled in conjunction with the postmining land use. Retainment of the listed roads in the proposed configurations represents a reduction in the bonding costs originally associated with road reclamation. This results as an additional 22.3 acres of roadways originally intended to be reclaimed will not be realized. The bonding reduction unit cost figures are taken from Section 4.8 and summarized below: Road Grading: 22.3 ac Ct $1,017.91/ac = $22,699.39 Revegetation: Moffat 4.1 ac ~ $1,469.99/ac = $6,026.96 Other 18.2 ac ® $396.24/ac = 57,211.57 • Total $35,937.92 This reclamation cost reduction is offset by revised regulations which became effective August 1, 1995 regarding the cost of removing unsuitable road surfacing materials. These costs were not included in the original bond cost calculations and are shown here to reflect the net effect relative to the bonding costs. Again, using the unit costs and cycle times for scrapers during topsoil replacement for Moffat shown in Section 4.8, and using 2,420 yds' of material/ac (equals 18" depth of surface material): Removal and disposal of 10.5 ac of road rock O $2817.12/ac = $29, 579.76 (acreage of roads to be reclaimed containing surface materials = 10.5 ac). The Goat Trail (Profile II') will be regraded as much as practical, however, it will not match the approximate original contour. This road is on a very steep hillside r, L J TR-35 3.5-6c July 21, 1997
