<br />Ensminger Reclamation Cost Estimate <br />June 22, 2002 <br />The Ensminger Pit is 9.9 acres. The creek will simply be widened as its passes through <br />this segment. The entire pit area will be graded and sloped as it is mined. Topsoil will <br />be re-applied to the south and north banks which are disturbed. The creek bed (approx. <br />7S' wide) will not be seeded, as it would only be washed out during periods of heavy <br />rainfall. The slopes will be fertilized with barnyard manure and seeded with a cover. <br />After the cover crop is established, the grass will be planted as recommended by the local <br />Soil Conservation Service. The cost units below already include labor and fuel. The <br />cover crop, manuring, and grass seeding costs were obtained from the Haxtun Soil <br />Conservation Service and have been based on Conservation Reserve Program costs. The <br />other unit costs were obtained from a local wntractor who is equipped to perform <br />reclamation if Mr. Ensminger were to default on the reclamation plan. <br />Cost Estimate <br />Volumes/()nits Unit Cost Item Cost <br />Backfilling Not applicable <br />(to be done as mining occurs) <br />Grading 8 hours Loader- $90/hr. $720.00 <br />Topsoil application 16 hours Loader- $90/hr $1,440.00 <br />16 hours Speedy Mover $SO/hr $800.00 <br />(Approx. 6,500 Cu.
