With the concurrent reclamation at the site for pond edges and with most all other <br />disturbances reclaimed to water surfaces, it is estimated that a total of one week will be <br />required for the final 4 acres of reclamation. Approximately 40 hours of bulldozer time <br />will be required to slope final pond edges, establish finish grade on roads and at the gate <br />operations area and place topsoil. An additional 2 days is estimated for seedbed <br />preparation, mulching (2 tons/acre), fertilizing and seeding for the 4 acres. Additional <br />trees/shrubs, wetland and riparian vegetation varieties will be added (as to have been <br />done in the prior planned concurrent reclamation), by the landowner/applicant in order to <br />establish more diverse habitat. <br />Estimate for final reclamation costs are as follows: <br />Bulldozer (D-8 incl. Mob) - 40 hours @ 185/hour= $ 7400.00 <br />Tractor (with disc) - 10 hours @ 100/hour= $ 1000.00 <br />Tractor (with seed drill) - 10 hours @ 110/hour= $ 1100.00 <br />Seed Mix - 44 PLS for 4 acres = $ 600.00 <br />Other misc. trees/shrubs/plantings - _ $ 1500.00 <br />8 ton Mulch/fertilizer -applied/crimped 250/ton = $ 2000.00 <br />Sub Total = $13,600.00 <br />Contingency Cost 15% _ $ 2040.00 <br />Administrative Costs 5% _ $ 680.00 <br />Total estimated reclamation cost (4.Oacres) _ $ 16,320.00 <br />(This cost estimate includes fuel, mobilization, operator and associated labor.)
