EXHIBIT L RECLAMATION COSTS (Revised 4/26/10) <br />This reclamation cost estimate in based on the assumption <br />that no more then 100 acres will need some form of reclamation <br />any one time. Of this 100 acres, 5.0 would be roads, 25.54 acres <br />would be plant site, 19.00 acres is silt pond areas and the <br />remaining 50.46 acres would be stripped or partially reclaimed <br />area. In this estimate we would have to complete backfilling and <br />compacting 4250 linear feet at 47.41 cyd/linear ft of banks. <br />Since the lined area will not be filled with water the site would <br />be revegetated so one would have to respread 102,178 cubic yards <br />of topsoil on the disturbed areas, and seed beds; grade and shape <br />95 acres of seed bed area and revegetate 95 ac. ±. The amount of <br />topsoil that will be re-spread is based on an average of 8 <br />inches. The revegetation cost figure includes fertilizer, grass <br />seed, mulch and drilling costs. We have included the cost to <br />demolish 100 yards of concrete foundations of the Concrete and <br />Asphalt plants, scale/scale house and the processing plant. <br />A 627C Cat motor scraper will be used to resoil the area and <br />a 140G Cat motor grader will be used to shape the seed bed, the <br />resoiled areas and rip the plant site. A D8N Cat dozer will be <br />used to reconstruct the compacted liner on the perimeter of-the <br />lake areas. <br />We have included a factor of 20% for the Division to do <br />remedial work on the completed liner if SEO certification is not <br />accomplished. We also rounded the pumping time to the next day <br />and used 72,300 gal/day as a transmissivity number to figure <br />inflow from the aquifer. These figures are then used in the <br />calculations for the bond amount. The tables below outline the <br />various areas of disturbance at that time. <br />RECLAMATION ACTIVITY AREA (UNITS AC., LFT, YDS OR PIECES) <br /> Mining <br />areas Plant <br />site Settling <br />pond <br />area TOTALS <br />RESOIL (ac) 50.46 25.54 19.00 95.00 <br />REVEGETATE (ac) 50.46 25.54 19.00 95.00 <br />DEWATER (ac) 27.46 7.54 0 35.00 <br />LAKE SLOPE CONSTRUCTION (Lft) 1,600 2650 0 4,250 <br />LAKE SLOPING COMPLETE (Lft) 3,200 0 NA 3,200 <br />LAKE AREA (ac) 27.46 7.54 0 35.00 <br />CONCRETE DEMOLITION (yds) 0 100 0 100.00 <br />ROADS ac 2.87 1.27 .86 5.00 <br />1
