RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATE <br />The following Reclamation Cost estimate is based on the <br />assumption that there will be no more than 8.57 acres ± <br />disturbance at any one time. The mine working face will be 400 <br />feet long, average 10 feet high. When it comes time to resoil <br />the area, an average of 10 inches of soil would be spread over <br />the disturbed area. At that time we will have to respread 6,937 <br />cubic yards of topsoil and move 1,748 cy of cut\fill sloping. No <br />sloping will be necessary on the exterior slopes as they will be <br />done as mining progresses. The table below outlines the various <br />areas of disturbance at the time explained above. A D8T is used <br />to do the shaping and resoiling in this calculation and the <br />mobilization haul distance is 7 miles from Pueblo. The <br />revegetation cost figure used includes fertilizer, grass seed, <br />mulch, labor and drilling costs. <br /> STAGE TOTAL SOIL DEPTH <br /> NEEDING RESOILING 5.26 10" <br /> REVEGETATION AREA 6.57 <br /> RESOIL @ 1 0° 6,937 CUBIC YARDS <br /> CUT/FILL SLOPING 1 ,74B CUBIC YARDS <br /> ESTIMATED UNIT COSTS FOR RECLAMATION ITEMS: <br /> Unit Cost <br />1.
