EXHIBIT L <br />Reclamation Costs <br />The attached spreadsheet represents the estimated cost for the Division to reclaim approximately <br />267 acres of disturbance at the Greeley 35th Avenue Mine site. During the mining of the Lafarge <br />Brown portion of the West Pit, the West Pit will not be completely reclaimed and final reclamation <br />will not be completed for the South Central Pit, East Pit and unmined areas around each of these <br />pits. Out of the 267 acres which encompasses this area of disturbance, approximately 114 acres of <br />this land is proposed to be open water pond leaving 153 acres of land requiring revegetation in order <br />to reclaim the land. <br />Two areas of the property were excluded from the calculation of the maximum area of disturbance <br />that should be included in the reclamation cost estimate; the Plant Site and the North Central Pit. <br />Following mining and reclamation of the entire site, Lafarge intends to continue using the Plant Site <br />as an Industrial Use within Weld County; therefore, this portion of the property would not require <br />reclamation. The North Central Pit was excluded from the estimate because it has already been <br />reclaimed as an open water pond. <br />Greeley 35`h Avenue Mine (M-1977-036) <br />DRMS 112 Reclamation Permit Amendment Application <br />Page LI of LI
