Reclamation Cost Estimate <br />The following reclamation cost estimate is based on the assumption that there will be no more <br />than 9.99 acres +/- disturbed at any one time. The time when it would be most expensive to <br />reclaim the site is just before mining ends and the site is totally stripped and a short working face <br />exists across the site. It also assumes that when it comes time to re-soil the area, an average of 2 <br />inches of soil would be spread over the disturbed area. At that time we will have to re-spread <br />2,662 cubic yards of topsoil. The areas needing work in this analysis are shown on the Sond Map <br />following this worksheet. A dozer will be used to do the shaping and re-soiling and other <br />equipment will be used as necessary to smooth the seed bed. The re-vegetation cost figures used <br />include fertilizer, grass seed, labor, drilling costs and mulch spreading and crimping if necessary. <br />Projected Reclamation Expense <br />Gravel Pit Reclamation: <br />Dozer to level and grade slopes <br />Haul in new top-soil to supplement what was stockpiled <br />originally <br />Push Top-Soil across disturbed area ~ smooth up for planting <br />Grass Seed (Acres & Rate /acre) <br />Drilling Cost (Acres & Rate /acre) <br />Stitch straw as ground protection through early growth period <br />Hours or Rate / Projected <br /> Hour or <br />Acres Acre Cost <br />20.0 $ 70.00 $ 1,400.00 <br />50.0 $ 20.00 $ 1,000.00 <br />6.0 $ 70.00 $ 420.00 <br />10.0 $ 50.00 $ 500.00 <br />10.0 $ 20.00 $ 200.00 <br />10.0 $ 50.00 $ 500.00 <br />Estimated Expense to Reclaim $ 4.020.00 <br />
