Eight groups per <br />acre will be planted. The Black Cottenwood and the Elm will be <br />calibrated trees from 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" in size. The Willows will <br />be root bound before planting. <br />Over the entire mining project there will be approximately 15 <br />acres of disturbed land; 3 acres of major disturbance and 12 <br />acres of moderate to minor disturbance. Reclamation costs are <br />estimated at $800 per acre on the major disturbance areas and <br />$325 per acre on the moderate and minor disturbance areas. <br />In other words, the total cost of reclamation would be estimated <br />as follows: <br />3 Acres @ $800/acre - $ 2,400.00 <br />12 Acres @ $325/acre - 3,900.00 <br />TOTAL BOND - $ 6,300.00 <br />Some reclamation has already been started on various parts of the <br />mining. The major disturbance areas on some parts have already <br />been sloped to the 3 to 1 slope that is stated on our plans. <br />-2- <br />
