The underground workings have been blasted. <br />2. It is unlikely this area will be mined. <br />3. The area is now stable, but needs some growth medium. <br />4. The 1994 calculations are updated below. <br />Total Area 5.7 acres <br />Ave. backfill x-sec area = 450 sq ft <br />Length of backfill area = 900 feet <br />Volume of backfill area = 405000 cu ft <br />Volume of backfill area = 15000 cu yds <br />Cost per yard = $1.25 <br />Backfill cost = $18,750.00 1994 amt = $9,000 <br />Ave. topsoil depth = 0.5 feet <br />Volume of topsoil needed = 124146 cu ft for 5.7 acres <br />Volume of topsoil needed = 4598 cu yds for 5.7 acres <br />Cost per yard = $1.25 <br />Cost for topsoiling = $5,747.50 1994 amt = $4,598.00 <br />Estimated Cost of seed <br />Acres <br />Total cost of seed <br />Cost per acre for broadcast <br />Total seeding cost <br />Total revegetation cost = <br />$130.79 per acre <br />5.7 <br />$745.51 for 5.7 acres <br />$65.00 <br />$370.50 for 5.7 acres <br />$1,116.01 1994 amt = $845.38 <br />Final base tree density 25 trees per acre <br />Trees to plant @ 25% survival 100 per acre <br />Cost per tree $8.50 tree + planting <br />Total tree costs $4,845.00 1994 amt = $2,280.00 <br />Shrub seeding costs are unknown, <br />but probably in the range of $750/acre for seed. <br />seeding could be done with grass seeding. <br />Estimated cost $4,275.00 1994 estimated amt = $171.00 <br />TOTAL WEST RIDGE RECLAMATION COST <br />1994 COST WAS $16,894.38 <br />$34,733.51 <br />cost per acre 2009= $6,093.60
