. C. Where wildlife habitat is the proposed future land use, the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) must be consulted and their recommendations included in the Reclamation Plan. d. Provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the site based on what it would cost Clear Creek County using an independent contractor to complete reclamation. The unit costs should include estimates for the following activities as appropriate to the operation: backfilling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, mulching, fertilization, and labor to complete reclamation. Determine and specify the point during the operation when the site has reached a point of maximum disturbance. The cost to reclaim the site to the specifications of the Reclamation Plan at this point must be estimated. (I) Unit costs (cost per cubic yard), volumes, haul or push distances, and grades must be included when backfilling and grading are part of the Reclamation Plan. (ii) Volume and unit costs for finish grading, subsoil and topsoil application must be provided in terms of cost per cubic yard. (iii) The estimated cost for fertilizer, seed and mulch acquisition and application must be provided as cost per acre. (iv) Equipment costs must include such factors as equipment operator wages and benefits, fuel and lubricant consumption and depreciation. The cost to mobilize and demobilize the equipment from the nearest population center known to have the required equipment availability must be estimated. (v) All items referenced in the Reclamation Plan must be included in the cost calculation. In addition to earthwork, building demolition, chemical removal, fencing, monitoring well abandonment and/or stream channel reconstruction must also be included in the reclamation cost estimate. After the direct costs noted above have been estimated, the County may add up to an additional maximum eighteen and one-half percent (18.5%) of that total, which includes private contract, typical overhead costs. This additional cost is required to cover indirect • costs that an independent contractor would incur when performing reclamation of the site. Five percent (5%) additional cost shall be added to cover office administration cost in the event of financial guarantee forfeiture. e. Drainage Control: Describe the measures used to divert upland drainage away from the site both during and after operation. This must include design details demonstrating the capacity of ditches and impoundment structures to contain operating solutions and the volume of water generated by a one hundred (100) year 24-hour rainfall event. The operator/Applicant must provide maps that clearly describe the features associated with the facility and the components of the Reclamation Plan. Include one map for the facility plan and one map for the Reclamation Plan. The map must be drawn to a scale no smaller than appropriate to clearly show all elements that are required to be delineated by these requirements; show a north arrow, note any section corners adjacent to the proposed operation, and indicate the date illustrated. At a minimum, maps must include the following information. Facility Plan Map (i) Outline and label the property boundaries, (ii) Label the names of owner(s) of record of the surface of the affected area and of the land within two hundred (200) feet of the affected area, and the type of structure and owners of record of any permanent or man-made structures within 200 feet of the property boundaries; (iii) Outline and label all major surface features to be used in connection with the proposed facility such as: existing and proposed roads, pit boundary, topsoil 7-r5 Modified 19 September 2007
