<br />RECLAMATION COSTS ppR 1 8 1U06 EXHIBIT L <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />The worst case reclamation scenario occurs when Strip 4 is mined and the majority of the site needs <br />to be reclaimed. At this time, the following work will be needed: <br />1) 1.95 acres of ponds, ditches and the access road to Strip 4 will need regrading. <br />2) The same 1.95 acres will need backfilling with 9" of soil. This will require 2360 cy of the 3237 cy <br />left in the topsoil stockpile. The remainder will be used to supplement the substitute topsoil in the <br />reclaimed flat azea. <br />3) 7.0 acres of flat azea will need overburden (substitute soil) placement, grading and discing. As <br />described in the Reclamation Timetable, this requires 14,888 cy to be placed and disced. <br />4) A small irrigation ditch will be installed as shown on Map F. This ditch will be started at the <br />upstream portion of the East Drainage, and will be approximately 1.0 feet with sideslopes of 2H:1 V. <br />The grade will be less than 2% and the ditch will not be lined. <br />5) 13.5 acres of imgated hay will be prepared and seeded. <br />• The seeding and mulching of the south facing slopes will be done prior to the completion of mining <br />of Strip 4, therefore, only 1 acre of reseeding costs are included for this task. <br />Bellgazdt Pit 1/06 43 <br />
