• Exhibit L Reclamation Costs
Five tables have been prepared highlighting the expected reclamation costs. Table I
identifies the individual areas involved in any project disturbance, the associated acreage
with each azea in the permit, the acres reclaimed in each area and when they would be
reclaimed. Highwall perimeter to be rubble-ized is also listed for the granite quarry.
Four key assumptions are identified: the 20% of costs for administrative costs, the 6 main
50' benches, expected 12" top soiUfines depth and the expected 40 to 50% reclamation of
the quarry acreage. Acreage determinations within the permit and disturbance areas are
straight forward except for the Roads, Tracks, Ponds and Storm Berm category. Acres
for the gravel, granite and plant areas are the same as submitted previously. Any
confusion from the Phase I, II and III mining progression should be completely
eliminated. All phases have and aze included in the permit application. The permanent
berms are simply comprised of the visual blocking berms "required" by the applicant's
CUP and from requests made by various citizens groups. The remaining Roads, Tracks,
Ponds and Storm Berm category can and is more clearly defined.
Since the project has proposed a 100' buffer be associated with most perimeter roads, the
entire 100' width is included in the total and disturbed acres. The total, disturbed and
•
reclaimed acres for roads, raihoads, ponds and storm water berms is:
Total Acres Disturbed Acres Reclaimed Acres
Roads 24.63 11.69 11.69
Railroads 4.83 4.83 2.34
Service Area 5.00 5.00 0.00
Pouds 2.20 2.20 0.00
Berms 2.40 2.40 0.00
Totals 39.06 26.12 14.03
The road buffer areas will not be entirely disturbed. A maximum 25' road and drainage
swale will be disturbed from which top soil will be removed prior to road construction.
Limited adjacent buffer areas could be used to stockpile large decorative rocks at selected
sites particularly along entrance roads. Should these buffer areas be used for product
storage, the associated top soil would be removed. As an estimate of acreage for top soil
disturbance and recovery, 50% or less of the total road acres within the 100' bufTers are
assumed to be disturbed. The remaining 50% will remain in native vegetation without
removal of its top soil to maintain erosion and top soil stability. The reclaimed road acres
will then equal the temporary roads reclaimed and buffer areas used for limited
stockpiling. This is estimated at 11.69 acres. About half of the tracks will be reclaimed -
the tracks to and in the quarry. The ponds and storm water berms will remain as part of
the long term storm water stabilization plan.
