Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs The total permit area is 66.8+/- acres. Of this, the disturbed area is anticipated to be approximately 63.8 acres. However, as discussed in Exhibit C, concurrent reclamation will occur. A maximum of 21.4+/- acres (the area of Phase 1) will be disturbed at any time. For the purposes of this application this is considered a worst- case condition because, even though the disturbed area of Phase 2 is larger, the pit slope boundary in Phase 1 is longer (requiring more grading), and the foundation of the asphalt plant is also located in this area. The reclamation tasks to be performed are described in Exhibit E. Task Estimated Cost • Rubblize and bury concrete foundation of asphalt support. Approx. 16 c.y. concrete to be broken using Cat. 920, or equivalent, end-loader. Approx. one hr. at $60/hr. required to break the concrete and approx. one hr. required to bury the material on site, and misc. work. 200 • Site clean up. Assume 6 hr. labor at $10/hr. and one truck load to public landfill or transfer station at $70/ truck load. Truck rental of $150. 280 • Final grade pit slopes to 3:1. Approx. 2,425 lin. ft. of slope to require an average of about 1.37 c.y./lin. ft. moved. Total of approx. 3,322 c.y. to be moved using D-8N dozer (push distance less than 50 ft. ave.) and universal blade. From Cat. performance curves, the dozing production for this type of grading is estimated to be approx. 980 c.y./hr. Approx. 3.4 hrs. (say 4 hr.) required at $120/hr. 480 • Miscellaneous minor smooth grading on the remainder of the affected area, including grading of minor localized runoff control berm(s), backfill scrubber ponds, and pit floor. Estimated 16 hrs. required using D-8N dozer and universal blade at $120/hr. 1,440 • Rip compacted areas of processing facilities. Approx. 2.5 ac to be ripped. Use D-8N Cat. with multi-shank -24-
