-3- and unit costs for finish grading, subsoil and topsoil application must be provided in terms of cost per cubic yard. The estimated cost for fertilizer, seed and mulch acquisition and application must be provided as cost per acre. (2) 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 should be estimated. (3) All items referenced in the Reclamation Plan must be included in the cost calculation. These items in addition to earthwork, such as detoxification, building demolition, fencing, monitoring well sealing or stream channel reconstruction must also be included in the reclamation cost estimate. (4) After the direct costs noted above have been estimated, the Office may add up to an additional maximum eighteen and one -half (18.5 %) percent 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 (5 %) percent additional cost shall be added to cover Office administration cost in the event of bond forfeiture and permit revocation. How many acres will require topsoil placement, soilprep, and reseeding with the proposed seed mix for the final reclamation? Is there enough topsoil currently stockpiled on site to cover that number of acres with the specified six inches of topsoil? What volume of overburden will be required to achieve the required shoreline sloping? Is there sufficient overburden present stockpiled on site to achieve the required shoreline sloping? EXHIBIT E - Map (Rule 6.3.5): (1) In addition to the requirements of 6.2.1(2), you must provide a map that clearly describes the features associated with the Mining Plan and the components of the Reclamation Plan. Include one map for the Mine Plan and one map for the Reclamation Plan. The map(s) must be drawn to a scale no smaller than appropriate to clearly show all elements that are required to be delineated by the Act and these Rules; 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: (2) Mining Plan Map (e) note the location of any significant, valuable, and permanent man -made structures within two hundred (200) feet of the affected area such as houses, barns, fences, above or below ground utilities, irrigation ditches, maintained or public roads, bridges, wells, pipelines, water storage impoundments, railroad tracks, cemeteries, and communication antennas. A narrative description must be provided in Exhibit B - Site Description. Please remove feature "topsoil from previous mining" and replace with features described above. (3) Reclamation Plan Map (a) show the gradient of all reclaimed slopes (horizontal. sufficient to describe the post mine topography; Please mods statement or illustrate reclamation topography on map to conform with section 63.4(1)(d). (b) indicate where vegetation will not be established and the general areas) for shrub or tree planting; (c) if ponds are a part of the Reclamation Plan, outline the final shore configuration of the ponds and shallow areas if the future land use is for wildlife; (d) state the average thickness of replaced overburden by reclamation area or phase•, and
