1 12 APPLICATION PAGE 25 OF 35 <br />6.4.1 1 EXHIBIT L - Reclamation Costs <br />Reclamation of the project site will consist lining the new ponds with gravel and seeding <br />the affected land not within the ponds areas as well as removing the gravel haul roads. If <br />importing fill material is required to reclaim the site, the fill material will consists of non- <br />hazardous soil, concrete, rock, and brick such that no single piece of material has a <br />dimension larger than two (2) feet on any face. No material larger than six (6) inches in <br />diameter will be placed within the top two feet of the final grade. <br />To minimize the amount of reclamation bonding required for the project, the applicant <br />would limit the excavation pit area (backfill area, sand and gravel high wall, and <br />overburden high wall) to no more than three acres. By limiting the size to three acres, the <br />estimated volume of backfill material required to reclaim the site is approximately 130,680 <br />cubic yards. <br />The applicant has existing stockpiled material stored at the site that will be used for the <br />mining operations. At the present time 9,000 cubic yards of fill is stockpiled in a berm <br />located at the southeast corner of the site, and 9,000 cubic yards fill is stockpiled along the <br />north property line. <br />The reclamation cost estimate assumes that a majority of the reclamation work required is <br />located the farthest point away from the material stockpile locations. The estimate <br />assumes the following: <br />• 44.6 acres to be backfilled/compacted; <br />19.8 total acres requires topsoil replacement; <br />19.8 acres will be deep tilled prior to topsoil placement; <br />19.8 acres to be disked, mulched, seeded and fertilized; <br />Gravel haul roads and scale house to be demolished; <br />Two settlement ponds at 1 acre each are to be demolished; <br />Two gravel lined ponds will be created totaling 24.8 acres <br /># DESCRIPTION QUAN UNIT $/UNIT TOTAL <br />1 Recom act Site 216,000 SY $ 0.50 $108,000 <br />2 Gravel Line Ponds 6" THICK 20,000 CY $ 5.00 $100,000 <br />3 Demolish Settlement Ponds (2 times 1 Acre) 10,000 CY $ 1.00 $ 10,000 <br />4 Remove Haul Roads/ Scale Structure 1 LS $ 2,500.00 $ 2,500 <br />5 To soil Placement From Stockpile 16,000 CY $ 0.87 $ 13,920 <br />6 Mulch, Seed, and Fertilize 16,000 CY $ 10.00 $160,000 <br />7 Weed Control 44.6 AC $ 100.00 $ 4,460 <br />TOTAL $ 398,880 <br />E
