i • • <br />EXHIBIT L. - RECLAMATION COSTS <br />The attached Table L was used to approximate the maximum reclamation costs <br />at any one time. <br />The following planting cost estimates are taken from the Soil Conservation <br />Service guides, which are based on accumulative data for project bid work. <br />(All costs per acre). <br /> Major Moderate Minor <br />Earthwork: _ <br />(Final Gank Shaping & Scarifying) 400 150 75 <br />Topsoil (Haul, Place & Spread) 250 175 100 <br />Seedbed Preparation 100 75 50 <br />Fertilizer 50 50 50 <br />Seed & Planting 100 75 75 <br />Mulch 100 100 100 <br />Trees £a Bushes 200 200 200 <br /> 1200 825 65D <br />A maximum of 15.0 Acres (10.0 Acres in the Major Disturbance and 5.0 Acres <br />in the Moderate disturbance catagory) was used for the extraction area at <br />any one tune. This seems reasonable as the average annual area to be mined <br />is about 9.0 Acres. <br />Table L. shows that the maximum bond amount of about $36,000.00 would be <br />fairly consistant for the operational years. <br />If available "windbreak" trees and other seedlings from the Soil Conserva- <br />tion Service will be used to assist in the proposed reclamation plantings. <br />RE4ISEL': 9-8-83 <br />L - 1 <br />
