Cost Estimate for Reclamation <br />The maximum area in the Carper Pit #2 Pit that could require seeding is 9.9 acres. <br />A cover crop would be established after topsoil is replaced. After the cover is established <br />the grass will be planted as recommended by the local Natural Resource Conservation Service. <br />The cost units below already include labor and fuel. <br />The cover crop, manuring, and grass seeding cost were obtained from the <br />Natural Resource Conservation Service and have been based on Conservation Reserve <br />Program costs. The other unit casts were obtained from a local contractor who is <br />equipped to perform reclamation if Tim Carper were to default on the reclamation plan. <br />Carper Pit #2 <br />Task Volumes Uni Unit Cost Item Cost <br />Backfill and Grade 23.8 Hours $115.00 $2,737.00 <br />to 3:1 slopes <br />Replace Topsoil <br />Tractor/Speedy Mover 23.3 Hours $75.00 $1,747.50 <br />Revegetate Site <br />Cover crop 9.9 Acres $45.00 $445.50 <br />Grass seeding 9.9 Acres $45.00 $445.50 <br />Seed 83.2 Lbs. $8.70 $723.84 <br />(9.9 acres x 8.4 # PLS/Acre) <br />Mobilization <br />Tractor/Speedy Mover 2 Hours $75.00 $150.00 <br />Dozer 2 Hours $115.00 $230.00 <br />TOTAL $6,479.34
