The reclamation functions include: <br />• Backfilling (portal face-up) <br />• Grading <br />• Ripping the Regraded Surface <br />• Topsoil Replacement <br />• Seedbed Preparation <br />• • Mulching and Anchoring <br />• • Seeding and Planting <br />• Seedling Planting <br />• Structure and Facilities Salvage <br />Equipment, labor, and other miscellaneous costs are based on third <br />quarter 1981 dollars. Supporting calculations and assumptions for all <br />costs are included. For calculation purposes, specific manufacturers <br />and/or equipment models have been cited.
