<br />Exhibit L: <br />1. Why do 12.27 acres need grading but not <br />topsoiling before planting? If areas such <br />as roads are to be disturbed and then <br />planted, topsoil should be stripped, planted <br />and replaced. This may increase reclamation <br />costs for some percentage of those 12.27 <br />acres. <br />As the areas on the perimeter of the completed <br />lake are not to be mined we see no need for them <br />to be stripped of all existing vegetation and top- <br />soil at this time. These areas are included in <br />the revegetation plan, however, so that any moderate <br />damage sustained at some future date is covered. <br />2. If the 100' "undisturbed greenbelt" is <br />indeed undisturbed, it should have no <br />reclamation costs associated with it. <br />See above. <br />3. Reclamation bond calculations can be done <br />in more detail and a bond amount finalized <br />when the exact acreage, topsoil volumes, <br />etc., have been more clearly identified. <br />Reclamation costs as listed on the application <br />are extremely conservative and certainly adequate <br />to take care of the job. <br />Y~CONSTR UCTION, INC. <br />L <br /> <br />
