2. Reclamation Cost Estimate <br />Reclamation cost is calculated based on the worst case reclamation scenario. Usually the worst <br />case reclamation is at the end of mine life. However, in the case of this operation a comparison <br />of the costs of both the end of mine life and the current pit conditions is necessary due to the <br />current pit conditions. Costs for each reclamation scenario have been calculated for comparison. <br />The costs for the end of mine life are in the End of Mine Life Reclamation Cost Table. End of <br />mine life reclamation would consist of large scale pit dewatering, pit slope backfilling, <br />topsoiling, and revegatation. <br />End of Mine Life Reclamation Cost Table <br />Item Description Cost <br />1 Dewaterin of entire it 176.82 acre-ft @ $58/acre-ft $ 10,255.79 <br /> <br />2 Backfilling slopes of phase 4 (3H:1 V to 10' below water <br />line, then 2H:1V 74,485 CY $1.10/CY <br />$ 81,933.50 <br /> <br />3 Topsoiling slopes to a depth of 8" in phase 4 (9,035 CY <br />$1.10/C <br />$ 9,938.50 <br />5 Seeding wetland vegetation 0.6 acres @ $1100/acre $ 660.00 <br />6 Seeding d land vegetation 7.0 acres ® 800/acre $ 5,600.00 <br />Subtotal $ 108,387.79 <br /> DRMS overhead (21% of cost $ 22,761.44 <br />Total $ 131,149.22 <br />Tri County Technical Revision Sept 07 6
